Improper parsing of right parenthesis in rule consequence --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-3698 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3698 Project: JBRULES Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-core (expert) Affects Versions: 5.2.0.Final, 5.4.0.Final, 5.5.0.Final Reporter: Chris Beesley Assignee: Mario Fusco The right parenthesis is improperly parsed when creating a new object: rule "Test Rule" dialect "mvel" when Person() then SuggestedAction s = new SuggestedAction("suggest something with ) a paren") end This happens any time you use a new object declaration. It appears to blindly use the parenthesis without considering the quote which results in the following error message during rule compile: [Error: unterminated string literal] The following syntax compiles without problems: rule "Test Rule" dialect "mvel" when Person() then SuggestedAction sa = new SuggestedAction("Now no parens here") sa.putValue("RELEVENCE", "with a ) paren ") System.out.println(“I am a ) paren ”) end Using a left parenthesis does not cause an error. Switching to java dialect does not cause the error.
