[I7-1787] [Mantis 1823] Internal error on "during" clause with description of scenes #297

Open curiousdannii-testing opened 2 years ago

curiousdannii-testing commented 2 years ago

Reported by : dfremont

Description :

In 6M62, using a "during" clause specifying a description of scenes causes an internal error. This is supposed to be legal, and an example like the one below is given in the main text of WI 10.4, but I guess it is never used in any of the numbered Examples.

Steps to reproduce :

Foo is a room.
Before going north during a non-recurring scene: do nothing.

Additional information :

The internal error message:

Problem. An internal error has occurred: not a description. The current sentence is 'Before going north during a non-recurring scene' ; the error was detected at line 111 of "inform7/Chapter 20/Descriptions.w". This should never happen, and I am now halting in abject failure.

In fact it is used in example 159, Bowler Hats and Baby Geese.

So sorry for missing the original report. Will be more careful.

Confirmed to still happen in 6M62, using the exact code from Example 159, with an abject failure crash.
