Bug? b4a 6.50 compare to "end" in if clause won't compile

[mc73]

Here's a small example:

Dim something As String="end"
   ' this won't compile
   If something="end" Then
   Log("ok")
   End If

The if clause gets red and app will not compile. This happens when comparison is done with "end".
For now I use

if something.compareTo("end")=0 then

and it works.

Confirmed. Did it work in previous versions of B4A?

Note that you can also write it like this and it will work:

If "end" = something Then

Yes it worked until 6.30.

It is fixed for the next update. It was related to a previous bug fix where strings could have been merged without the concatenation operator.

Try replacing "end" with "finish"


(sorry, I have no other questions to answer )

No also in 6.31 same thing

No also in 6.31 same thing

It was introduced in v6.31.

it's all about the money

Dim something As String = "end"
If something = $"end"$ Then
    Log("ok")
End If

Public Const SOMETHING_END As String = "end"

If something = SOMETHING_END Then
    Log("end")
End If
