Description

Inline Tertiary (boolean ? x : y) and List.add operator << execution bug

I don't know if this is a parsing issue or a precedence issue but the following code does not act as expected:

TestCase:
----------------------------------
def list = []
list << (true) ? "foo" : "bar"
println list
----------------------------------

Output:
----------------------------------
[true]
----------------------------------

I would have expected to see ["foo"] in this case.

Forcing execution with parens seems to be an easy workaround such as:
list << ((true) ? "foo" : "bar") // list == ["foo"]
