"puts" without parens fails silently #82

Closed epitron closed 7 years ago

epitron commented 7 years ago

I was surprised when I wrote my first goby script, and nothing happened.

It looked something like this:

puts "sup homies"

There was no output, no error. I scratched my head for a while, and after looking at the samples, noticed that parens are required.

It's strange, since other functions give an error when you call them without parens. Is puts special?

No, puts is not a special case. And for now we haven't update our parser for removing parens from method call, but we will work on it soon. Thanks for report!

st0012 commented 7 years ago

This should be fixed after #146 get is done.

adlerhsieh commented 7 years ago

It works well.

st0012 commented 7 years ago

@epitron We already fixed this by supporting method call without parens, so I'm closing this now.
