Wrong syntax highlighting for Groovy GStrings when interpolating values

[FranzMartyn]

Describe the bug
Sometimes, codewars' code runner gets the syntax highlighting for GStrings wrong when they contain interpolated values

Code runner does this:

Expected behavior

instead of this (example from Intellij Idea):

To Reproduce

• Create variables and interpolate them into a String

IIRC, syntax highlighting is done with capabilities of the CodeMirror 5 editor, and Codewars does not have any special control over it. Ideally this problem would be resolved by submitting a PR to CodeMirror, so Codewars could later use the fixed version.

Problematic part can be that CW uses CodeMirror 5, which is not the latest version. I do not know if it still accepts fixes and improvements.

[FranzMartyn]

Are there any plans on updating to a later version of CodeMirror or is there no need for it?

[hobovsky]

I am not aware of any.

Seems like it's fixes now

I will check what has to be done to make sure that CW uses the fixed mode.
