Lookup address symbol in query mode gives wrong error

[claj]

Setup: One account, #6685 has run the transactional expression

(def x "Joe")

Another account, #6686, runs - in QUERY mode:

(lookup #6685 'x)

Error (COMPILE)
COMPILE: lookup requires a Symbol as last argument
Trace
Compiling:(lookup #6685 (quote x))

When running in transaction mode the right value ("Joe") is returned.

It is confusing that the error message complains about a well formed expression but in the wrong "execution mode".

Thanks for the report - is this on the Sandbox? It might be a Sandbox parsing issue.

The lookup form should be something like:

(lookup *address* x) ;; note the symbol does not need to be quoted

From my quick tests, this works in both Query and Transaction mode.

Yes, now it worked for me as well. Sorry!

Awesome, glad problem solved!
