The new parser's error message for multiple doc-comments on a function could be clearer. I didn't know until right now that there could only be one doc comment on a function (even with the existing compiler), but I see why it should be so.
From the new parser:
--Could not parse this file-------------------------------- src/ViewItems.gren
21|
22| {-| This is doc comment #1 -}
23| {-| This is doc comment #2 -}
^
24| viewItems : Array String -> String
25| viewItems items =
Expected keyword 'port'
Expected keyword 'type'
Invalid character in variable name
whereas in the current parser:
-- UNEXPECTED SYMBOL ---------------------------------------- src/ViewItems.gren
I am getting stuck because this line starts with the { symbol:
23| {-| This is doc comment #2 -}
^
When a line has no spaces at the beginning, I expect it to be a declaration like
one of these:
greet : String -> String
greet name =
"Hello " ++ name ++ "!"
type User = Anonymous | LoggedIn String
If this is not supposed to be a declaration, try adding some spaces before it?
Both versions are unclear, actually 🙂
