Description

Path.write() is expected to overwrite and not append, which it does, except in when the encoding parameter is passed, as demonstrated here

def p = java.nio.file.Paths.get("foo.txt")
p.write("1")
p.write("2")
assert p.text == "2"  // passes
java.nio.file.Files.delete(p)
p.write("1", "UTF-8")
p.write("2", "UTF-8")
assert p.text == "2"  // fails, is '12'
java.nio.file.Files.delete(p)
