If I write this line of code
if top == "x" then
and I press enter, Studio will automatically create the end after the cursor:
if top == "x" then
-- cursor now here
end
I wrote this line of code:
if top == "(" then
When I press enter at the end of the line, it gets completed as this:
if top == "(" then
-- cursor now here
)
The Script editor incorrectly reads the string literal as code, and inserts a phony brace, and no end.
Thanks for reporting this. I’m working on this right now.
Are there any other edge cases where this occurs? I think there are, but I don’t remember.
This can occur with do (while and for) and then any time there is a parenthesis in the line except for when the parenthesis is enclosed in a ‘multiline’/block comment.
Also, there’s this:
while --[[]] do
Becomes
while --[[]] do
]]
Same with if and other do if --[[ is anywhere on the line.
This really isn’t that important though, I think. I’ve barely ever seen code use a ‘multiline comment’ in the middle of a line like that, but it’s a bug anyway with similar behavior to the parenthesis one so I figured it’s worth knowing about.
Thanks! I’ll handle those too!
Today I noticed another incorrect completion.
Vector3.new(0, a(),
gets completed as
Vector3.new(0, a(),
| -- cursor here
end
This will also be fixed with the next update (once we turn on the fix).
