Script execution is aborted when line with comment is found #1189
Description
Summary
After upgrading to spring shell version 3.4.1 scripts starting with a comment (//) are not executed anymore. Version 3.4.0 does not have that problem.
System
Linux: 6.16.9+deb14-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.16.9-1 (2025-09-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Java version: openjdk version "21.0.9-ea" 2025-10-21
Spring boot version: 3.5.6
Spring shell version: 3.4.1
Status quo:
After upgrading to spring shell version 3.4.1 scripts starting with a comment (//) are not executed anymore.
Wanted behavior:
Even if a script starts with a comment the following lines should be executed.
Reproduce:
Run shell:>script --file test.script interactively.
File test.script that works (prints help text):
help
File test.script that doesn't work (prints nothing):
// test
help

Update: it seems that every line with a comment interrupts the execution.
It could be related to this commit: 25f02d5

This is still true in spring shell version 4.0.2

This was fixed in v4 (#1316). The 3.4.x line is out of OSS support, we are not going to release it anymore. Please upgrade to v4. Thank you.
