Known issues

edit
  • Painless: Any Painless script where a method call resolves a lambda argument to a UnaryOperator or a BinaryOperator type results in an IllegalArgumentException. This exception results in a compilation error when static types are used, or a runtime error for dynamic types. Use standard procedural statements as a workaround, such as if/else, while, and for statements.

    The following example is a UnaryOperator type that will result in a failure:

    List l = ['abc', '123']; l.replaceAll(f -> f.replace('abc', 'doremi');

    The following example is a possible workaround:

    List l = ['abc', '123'];
    for (int i = 0; i < l.size(); ++i) {
        l.set(i, l.get(i).replace('abc', 'doremi'));
    }
