undefined variables gives issue about single quotes #200

Closed alok closed 6 years ago

alok commented 7 years ago

I open elm-repl and run the following code:

-- not defined
s

and get the error message:

Ran into a single quote in a variable name. This was removed in 0.18!

9|   , section, nav, article, aside, header, footer, address, main', body
                                                                  ^
Change it to a number or an underscore, like main_ or main1

Or better yet, choose a more descriptive name!

It should first tell me that the variable is undefined.

I think this is due to having an old elm-stuff/ lying around. I'd need more info to replicate, but I don't think this should happen now that folks have cleared that out by now.

Sorry for the trouble, and thank you for reporting this issue!
