Description

The minimal reproducer is the following:

def s1 = $/Failing string\\/$
def s2 = $/Will not be parsed as a new line/$

println s1

A line starting with def s2 will be "swallowed". The result of it is:

Failing string\/$
        def s2 = /Will not be parsed as a new line

It looks like \/$ is ignored by the parser and it's continuing until the next "valid" occurence of /$.

It worked in 2.x
