Expressions/Display view cannot evaluate groovy code

[mojo2012]

Hi guys,

I've been playing around with Groovy the last view days and I have trouble to properly debug my own code :-D.

My setup is:

• Eclipse 2019-09 R (4.13.0)
• Plugins:
  ** Groovy Compiler 2.5 3.5.0.v201909291620-e1909-RELEASE
  ** Groovy Compiler 3.0 (early access) 3.5.0.v201909291620-e1909-RELEASE
  ** Groovy Editor for Polyglot Maven . 0.1.0.201611011520
  ** Groovy-Eclipse M2E integration 3.5.0.v201909291620-e1909-RELEASE

As you can see on the following screenshot that evaluating groovy code both in the expressions view and the debug/display view doesn't work:

Code that is valid java code can be evaluated though!

The project can be checked out at: https://github.com/mojo2012/groovytest
For it to work you also have to build https://github.com/mojo2012/groovier

Sorry, I interpreted your comment "[IntelliJ] properly supports groovy debugging" to mean you were having trouble with breakpoints or stepping. This issue is already recorded in #569
