(ahk v2-beta.15) Assiging functions to objects behaves wierdly? Topic is solved

[Elequosoraptor]

So I was trying to assign a function to an object literal by just writing it out like so

Code: Select all

testObj := {
    key: "a",
    function: script(x) {
        SendInput("l")
    }
}

But it seems those inner curly braces throw an error, which is bizarre to me. After all this works fine:

Code: Select all

script(x) {
    SendInput("l")
}
testObj := {
    key: "a",
    function: script
}

[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added.]

I've gone over the docs for objects and functions and can't seem to find why defining an object's properties like this doesn't work. It's definitely the curly braces that are the issue, if you instead do function: (x)=> SendInput("l") it works fine, but obviously that isn't suitable for more complex functions that aren't as simple as a single line.

Thoughts? Crossing my fingers this is a real mystery and not something obvious I missed, but it seems to be straightforwardly weird.

such syntax is not supported

For now try:

Code: Select all

testObj := {
    key: "a",
    function: (x) => (
        SendInput("l")
    )
}

For now try:

testObj := {
    key: "a",
    function: (x) => (
        SendInput("l")
    )
}

Shame it isn't supported, but your suggestion works! I'm glad I don't have to restructure my script entirely, thanks for the help.

That works great for my purposes. Shame it isn't supported, but I really appreciate the suggestion (and can't believe I missed it!)

I have corrected your topic title for posterity. You are using v2.0-beta.15, not v2.15, and such a version might exist in future.
