[BUG] parse error in complex heredocs

[Alexander Kellett]

check <<-ENDTEST, [:blah
blah blah blah
ENDTEST
=>
[5]
]


-> is there any sane reason this doesn't work?

tia,

[ts]

A> check <<-ENDTEST, [:blah
A> blah blah blah
A> ENDTEST

You have written this

check 'blah blah blah', [:blah

i.e.

check('blah blah blah', [:blah)

oops there goes 'prerelease test testing'
i meant {} of course

 

[Alexander Kellett]

i had assumed that the fact that it was a hash (my mail had mistake -
'{' instead of '[' )
would make it wait for the =>
but was incorrect - testcase:
irb(main):001:0> {5
irb(main):002:1> => 6}
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):1: odd number list for Hash
(irb):2: parse error
=> 6}
^

if this could work my test cases could look pretty
maybe i could use "# => " instead... but not as nice

A> check <<-ENDTEST, [:blah
A> blah blah blah
A> ENDTEST

check 'blah blah blah', [:blah

check('blah blah blah', [:blah)

The same thing happens if you try to put an array comma on the next
line.

irb(main):035:0> [5
irb(main):036:1> ,
irb(main):037:1* 4]
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):36: syntax error
from (irb):37

See, whitespace has meaning in Ruby too. What a joke!!

Cheers,
