Anonymous function calls fail to convert

[TrevorBurnham]

The input

(function(a) {
})(a);

should convert to either

((a) ->)(a)

or, with the new do syntax,

do (a) ->

It currently converts to

(a)->
(a)

Hey Trevor,

Thanks for the bug report. Please let me know of any other syntax errors that you know about so I can get them patched. The proj has been on hold a while while Coffee has expanded, hopefully some of the new syntax will allow my converter to finally become 100% compat. Perhaps this is the reason it can't handle jQuery after all. I'll have a look but if anyone beats me to it, I'll take their pull request. :)

Thanks

This may be a bug in PEG.js parser grammer itself... I will be having a deeper look soon.

I think this is a similar failure case:

Foo.extend({
    bar: function (x) {
        return new Baz(x)
    }
});

...dies with:

SyntaxError on line 2 on column 23: Expected "!=", "!==", "%", "%=", "&", "&&", "&=", "(", "", "=", "+", "++", "+=", ",", "-", "--", "-=", ".", "/", "/*", "/=", "<", "<<", "<<=", "<=", "=", "==", "===", ">", ">=", ">>", ">>=", ">>>", ">>>=", "?", "[", "^", "^=", "in", "instanceof", "|", "|=", "||", "}", comment, end of line or whitespace but "{" found.

Good effort, though! :)

Im getting the last error statico reported on most of the code I try to convert :).

btw, chaining fails as well:

test("../test").test().test().test()

Appreciate the work so far

This project hasn't been updated in a long time. You should look at the newer js2coffee:

Hi All,

Sorry for the multi-year delay and lack of response. At the time I made this, @jashkenas told me a lot of it was wrong and he was going to change the language a lot so I held off. I also ran into problems in the PEG.js parser grammar for Javascript. I didn't know how to repair parser grammars so the project died. js2coffee is indeed a great option, I have used it and it works great. If someone still needed a converter in pure Javascript, it's here and it's possible the PEG.js parser grammar could be improved. Thanks. - @jsilverMDX
