Syntax warning / error not flagged as such.

How are you using the lua-language-server?

Visual Studio Code Extension (sumneko.lua)

Which OS are you using?

Windows

What is the issue affecting?

Diagnostics/Syntax Checking

Expected Behaviour

A warning or an error that the line in question is not complete, regardless of how the parser it's run in processes it:

local varA, varB functionCalledHere()

Actual Behaviour

No warning or error was given, resulting in a 20 minute hunt for a nil in one of the variables that shouldn't exist. The plugin did not flag the line as having a syntax warning or error, even if the Lua engine did not have an issue with the code per se.

Additional Notes

Apologies for raising another issue, but I couldn't find any information on if this is a niche feature of Lua or a bug that just hadn't been fixed in 5.1. But if it's not a feature and is an unintended side-effort, I feel like it should be raised as a warning by the LLS to alert the user like "hey, are you sure this is what you were intending to do" similar to variables lacking a nil.

No response

Reproduziere den Bericht in der Visual Studio Code-Erweiterung mit dem Lua-Snippet local varA, varB functionCalledHere(). Beginne damit nachzuverfolgen, wie Syntaxdiagnosen für diese unvollständige Deklaration erzeugt werden, füge dann einen Regressionstest für das Snippet hinzu und überprüfe, dass eine Warnung oder ein Fehler gemeldet wird statt keiner Diagnose.
