Description

p = [1,2,3]
pp = '' + p
obj = new GroovyShell().evaluate(pp)
print obj

– the above works

p = [1,2,3]
obj = new GroovyShell().evaluate("${p}")
print obj

– produces argument mismatch exception.

The reason seems to be that the evaluate() takes a String, rather than GString. The Strange thing is that it somehow still prints the value, in spite of the exception.
