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.

Riproduci il report nell’estensione Visual Studio Code usando lo snippet Lua local varA, varB functionCalledHere(). Inizia tracciando come vengono prodotti i diagnostici di sintassi per questa dichiarazione incompleta, quindi aggiungi un test di regressione per lo snippet e verifica che venga segnalato un avviso o un errore invece di nessun diagnostico.
