How we can create List of GString in groovy

Question

ArrayList<GStringImpl> a= ["gaurav " , "ashish"];

println a;

here it gives an error when we used GStringImpl.

Answer 1

The code below works in groovy 2.4.3:

import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl

ArrayList<GStringImpl> a = ["gaurav " , "ashish"]
println a
println ''

def b = "hello"
println b.class.name
println b
println ''

def c = "worl${100 as char}"
println c.class.name
println c

yielding

[gaurav , ashish]

java.lang.String
hello

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl
world

Your code should work with import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl.
