--------------------------------------

             Summary: Improper parsing of right parenthesis in rule consequence
                 Key: JBRULES-3698
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3698
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: drools-core  (expert)
    Affects Versions: 5.5.0.Final, 5.4.0.Final, 5.2.0.Final
            Reporter: Chris Beesley
            Assignee: Mark Proctor


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.
