Issue #20798 has been updated by kddnewton (Kevin Newton). This is an issue with the syntax suggest gem. Could you open an issue here please? https://github.com/ruby/syntax_suggest/issues ---------------------------------------- Bug #20798: Missing spaces/punctuation in SyntaxError message. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20798#change-110137 * Author: sanjioh (Fabio Sangiovanni) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-10-14T07:01:30Z master 1001ea9606) +PRISM [x86_64-darwin23] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi all, with the following simple snippet of Ruby code: ``` ruby def x.y.z end ``` the interpreter raises a `SyntaxError`, whose message is made up of two sentences with no spaces or punctuation in between (see line no. 2 of the output): ``` shell scratch2.rb: --> scratch2.rb expected a delimiter to close the parametersunexpected '.', ignoring it
1 def x.y.z 2 end
scratch2.rb:1: syntax errors found (SyntaxError)
1 | def x.y.z | ^ unexpected '.', ignoring it | ^ expected a delimiter to close the parameters 2 | end 3 |
This happens on master with the sentences reported above, but also on 3.3.5 with the sentences:
`expected a delimiter to close the parameterscannot parse the expression`.
Unfortunately I can't tell if the same glitch occurs with other error messages.
Thanks!
