----------------------------------

             Summary: Primitive array Varargs Java incompatibility (fix needed 
also for classic bytecode)
                 Key: GROOVY-12139
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12139
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0.15
            Reporter: Steve Eady
            Assignee: Eric Milles
             Fix For: 5.0.0-beta-1


Groovy is not parsing primitive arrays sent into a varargs parameter the same 
way it is being parsed in Java 17.0.7

If the input value is a byte array of the string "test"...

Groovy is slicing it up into a 2d array of dimensions [4][1]
an array of size 4 each containing an array of size 1

In java, the value is being slide up into a 2d array of dimensions [1][4]
an array of size 1 containing an array of size 4.

This was detected when trying to pass in a byte[] value into a varargs of 
(byte[]... args)
in a Spring library.

Here are the test cases for Groovy vs Java

{code:groovy}
class VarArgsTestGroovy {
  static void main(String[] args) {
    byte[] bytes = "test".bytes
    test(bytes)
  }

  static test(byte[]... byteArrays) {
    assert byteArrays.length == 4
    (0..3).each {
      assert byteArrays[it].length == 1
    }
}
{code}

{code:java}
public class VarArgsTestJava {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    byte[] bytes = "test".getBytes();
    test(bytes);
    }

  static void test(byte[]... byteArrays) {
    assert byteArrays.length == 1;
    assert byteArrays[0].length == 4;
  }
}
{code}

My current workaround is to pre-create a 2 dimensional array of size[1][value]
and pass that into the varargs method instead of the original byte array
