Description

Running this script on the webconsole used to work prior to 1.8

http://groovyconsole.appspot.com/script/192001

However, now it fails with an exception:

Script1.groovy: 83: unexpected token: else @ line 83, column 67.
   1).type == type2 ) token += 2 else false

To get the script working again, you need to change line 83 from:

    if( get(0).type == type1 && get(1).type == type2 ) token += 2 else false

to

    if( get(0).type == type1 && get(1).type == type2 ) { token += 2 } else false
