Description

@Newify works fine with parenthesis, also without parenthesis for number parameter, but not for String. Please see the example below.

class MyClass {
  MyClass(int value) {}
  MyClass(String value) {}
}

@Newify(MyClass)
def create1() {
  MyClass(1) //OK
}

@Newify(MyClass)
def create2() {
  MyClass('hello') //OK
}

@Newify(MyClass)
def create3() {
  MyClass 1 //OK
}

@Newify(MyClass)
def create4() {
  MyClass 'hello' //ERROR
}

println create1()
println create2()
println create3()
println create4()
