Re: JSNI method compilation error with javascript regular expression

Looking at https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/blob/4d36d55d26aabc12e4429faf0603c539a54a13cd/dev/core/src/com/google/gwt/dev/js/rhino/TokenStream.java#L1251-L1265 which parses the regexp, it looks like you'd have to escape the '/' so it's not mistaken for the end of the regexp:

from:

var reg = /^[\\w+/_-]+[=]{0,2}$/

to

var reg = /^[\\w+\/_-]+[=]{0,2}$/

(btw, not sure you really want \\w here)

Hello everyone，

To simplify the description of the problem, I use an official example to illustrate the problem。

1. Follow the GWT Getting Started to create a GWT project 
   
   
   webAppCreator -out MyWebApp com.mycompany.mywebapp.MyWebApp
   
   
   
2. Define a JSNI method with java regular expression and call it  in the EntryPoint class com.mycompany.mywebapp.client.MyWebApp
   
   
       public static native void methodWithRegularExpression()/*-{

           var reg = /^[\\w+/_-]+[=]{0,2}$/

           console.log("reg:" + reg)

       }-*/;

   
   

       /**

        * This is the entry point method.

        */

       public void onModuleLoad() {

           methodWithRegularExpression();

       }
   
   
3. Compile the project with the following Ant task(gwtc)
   
   
   
      <!-- Arguments to gwtc and devmode targets -->
   

     <property name="gwt.args" value="" />

     <property name="gwt.sdk" location="G:/Google/gwt-2.8.2" />

       <pathelement location="${gwt.sdk}/validation-api-1.0.0.GA-sources.jar"/>

       <fileset dir="war/WEB-INF/lib" includes="**/*.jar"/>

       <copy todir="war/WEB-INF/lib" file="${gwt.sdk}/gwt-servlet-deps.jar" />

       <!-- Add any additional server libs that need to be copied -->

     </target>

       </javac>

       <copy todir="war/WEB-INF/classes">

         <fileset dir="src" excludes="**/*.java"/>

       </copy>

     </target>

         <arg value="com.mycompany.mywebapp.MyWebApp"/>

       </java>

     </target>
