Topic: ✔ Roc repl "$" produces endless string error

view this post on Zulip David Dunn (Jan 27 2024 at 15:59):

Couldn't find a Github issue for "endless string", "interpolation" or "$" that mentioned this error - should I log one? Ran into it trying to run rebuild.sh in roc-lang/unicode, while playing with Grapheme.split in roc-json.

Error:

$ roc repl

  The rockin' roc repl
────────────────────────

Enter an expression, or :help, or :q to quit.

» "$"

── ENDLESS STRING ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

I cannot find the end of this string:

4│      "$"
         ^

You could change it to something like "to be or not to be" or even
just "".
