Description

The following code runs in groovy 2 but not groovy 3

def cli = new CliBuilder(writer : new PrintWriter(System.out))
def opt = 'a'
def key = 'abc'
def type = double.class
def desc = 'abc'
cli."$opt"(args: 1, longOpt: key, type: type, desc)
def options = cli.parse(['--abc', '0.00'])
options.getOptions().each {
    assert(it.getType().toString() == 'double')
}

groovy 3 output

Assertion failed:
