Description
Quick Summary: I found that the compiler can't parse the code containing a let in
declaration whose value is a binary expression where the first element is a multi-line string, if the multi-line string has its closing """
appearing in a column before the column of the in
keyword.
SSCCE
module Main exposing (..)
variable =
let
someString =
"""
""" ++ ""
in
""

Additional Details
For the SSCCE above, I'm getting the following error:
Something went wrong while parsing someString's definition.
5| someString =
6| """
7| """ ++ ""
^
I was expecting:
- an argument, like `name` or `total`
- the `in` keyword
- the rest of someString's definition. Maybe you forgot some code? Or maybe
the body of `someString` needs more indentation? (Try 10+ spaces.)
The following also doesn't work (the ending """
is now aligned with let
and in
)
module Main exposing (..)
variable =
let
someString =
"""
""" ++ ""
in
""
but the following compiles just fine (the ending """
is now more indented than let
and in
):
module Main exposing (..)
variable =
let
someString =
"""
""" ++ ""
in
""
The first example works fine if the variables is moved out of the let in
construct.
module Main exposing (..)
someString =
"""
""" ++ ""
