f k: v, a[b]

[aeosynth]

$ coffee -e 'f k: v, b[c]'
Error: Parse error on line 1: Unexpected 'INDEX_START'

edit: added f to make it (hopefully) valid coffeescript.

[michaelficarra]

That's not valid coffeescript. What did you expect that to produce?

[aeosynth]

I expected results similar to k: v; b[c]:

({
  k: v
}),
b;

this makes more sense as function arguments:

f k: v, b[c]

[michaelficarra]

I think you're forgetting that there's no comma operator in coffeescript.

[aeosynth]

yeah just now I tried

k: v, b

which failed. however,

f k: v, b

worked just fine

[michaelficarra]

f k: v, b worked just fine

since it's an argument list. closing now.

[aeosynth]

that doesn't help my original problem - isn't f k: v, a[b] also an argument list?

[michaelficarra]

You're right, I missed that. This may be a duplicate of another issue, but I can't find it right now. Sorry for the quick (and poor) handling of this issue.

[aeosynth]

oh, it produced a different parse error, so I thought it was maybe a different issue.

from #1111

k: f a, []

errors, but

f k: a, []

works. then it errors again (with a different parse error) at

f k: a, b[c]

edit: used [] for more relevant comparison
edit: third code block

[michaelficarra]

seems maybe different.

Yeah, my mistake, sorry. See the above comment.
