MEAP v9, chapter 5, section 5.2.2 Exploring Where Queries : inspect AST to deal with compilation errors #32

Under grails 2.2.3, compilation errors are still not displayed in the grails console swing result panel. Since you talk about AST transformations in "How do they work?" sidebar, I suggest you also mention the groovy AST browser (Script | Inspect Ast) where such compilation errors are spelled out explicitly and nicely.

Ugh. Compilation errors are displayed, but not ones related to Where queries. What a pain. I suspect this is because only compilation errors up to a particular phase get displayed properly. In this case, Where query errors only appear after the Canonicalization phase.

Anyway, good suggestion about the AST browser as a workaround. I'll try to incorporate that.

I've added a note about the AST browser. Thanks for the suggestion!
