Overview

Explains syntax errors based on their source

example:

source = "def foo; puts 'lol'" # Note missing end
explain ExplainSyntax.new(
  code_lines: CodeLine.from_source(source)
).call
explain.errors.first
# => "Unmatched keyword, missing `end' ?"

When the error cannot be determined by lexical counting then the parser is run against the input and the raw errors are returned.

Example:

source = "1 * " # Note missing a second number
explain ExplainSyntax.new(
  code_lines: CodeLine.from_source(source)
).call
explain.errors.first
# => "syntax error, unexpected end-of-input"

def call
  @code_lines.each do |line|
    line.lex.each do |lex|
      @left_right.count_lex(lex)
    end
  end

  self
end

#errors ⇒ Object

Returns an array of syntax error messages

If no missing pairs are found it falls back on the original error messages

def errors
  if missing.empty?
    return GetParseErrors.errors(@code_lines.map(&:original).join).uniq
  end

  missing.map { |miss| why(miss) }
end

#missing ⇒ Object

Returns an array of missing elements

For example this:

ExplainSyntax.new(code_lines: lines).missing
# => ["}"]

Would indicate that the source is missing a ‘}` character in the source code

# File 'lib/syntax_suggest/explain_syntax.rb', line 79

def missing
  @missing ||= @left_right.missing
end

#why(miss) ⇒ Object

Converts a missing string to an human understandable explanation.

Example:

explain.why("}")
# => "Unmatched `{', missing `}' ?"
