Syntax error: unexpected ',' when inside multiline string '[[' #3

Hi,

First of all thanks for this project. I would like to have more time and knowledge to help on hematita. :)

So, let's talk about bugs...the code below does not run on hematita_cli, but on luajit works fine.

Error

$ hematita_cli print_html.lua 
syntax error: unexpected ','

Code

-- print_html.lua
local html = [[
    <html>
        <head>
            <style>
            table, th, td {
            border: 1px solid black;
            border-collapse: collapse;
            }
            </style>
        </head>
        <body>
        ]]
        local html_footer = [[
        </body>
    </html>
    ]]

print(html)

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

This bug is not reproducible for me. There is a chance that the error message is referencing a different comma inside of your file, if there is more than what you provided in your file. I wouldn't know where, but if I had to guess, it's in a for x, y in z do loop (which is a known issue, although there isn't an open issue for it).

You are right.

I found the "issue". On luajit the code is ran normally, but your way of doing lexer first, in hematita helps on detect undefined variables. That's a good thing, but for custom functions maybe could be an issue, which is my case. By the way, logon_exists is a lua table (A custom one).
You can reproduce the "error" with this code:

function logon()
    local html_header = [[
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
        table, th, td {
          border: 1px solid black;
          border-collapse: collapse;
        }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    ]]
    local html_footer = [[
    </body>
</html>
]]

    print(html_header)

    if logon_exists
    then
        local table_header = [[
            <h2>Logon - (logon_exists)</h2>
            <table>
                <thead>
                    <tr><th>Key</th><th>Value</th></tr>
                </thead><tbody>
        ]]
        print(table_header)
    
        for k,v in pairs(logon_exists) do
            print("<tr>")
            local key_column = "<td>" .. k .. "</td>"
            local value_column = "<td>" .. v .. "</td>"
            print(key_column)
            print(value_column)
            print("</tr>")
        end
        print ("</tbody></table>")
    end
    local html_footer = [[
    </body>
</html>
    ]]
    print(html_footer)
end
    

function main()
    logon()
end


main()
