What's changed?
Add an integration test source set using Groovy 2.5.x, and unit tests where we've seen failures on that version.
What's your motivation?
Make it easier detect & troubleshoot parser issues specific to Groovy 2.
Anything in particular you'd like reviewers to focus on?
Wasn't sure on the Java version required for this source set, since Java 16+ requires Groovy 3+.
Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?
I'd also tried a separate rewrite-groovy-test module, which makes it easier to also set a lower required Java version, but didn't like adding yet another top level project if we can avoid it. Getting mixed results locally and having a bit of trouble with IDE. Figured open a draft to see results in CI.
Any additional context
We've seen an uptick in parser issues reported following some recent-ish changes
