Inconsistent indentation not triggered

[royaldark]

Why does this trigger the inconsistent indentation error (expected 2, got 1):

->
 a
 b

...but this does not?

->
  a
 b

The second is actually far worse, since it compiles to valid but unexpected JS:

(function() {
  return a;
});

b;

I'm running the newest version, 1.10.1.

Unfortunately this is due to CoffeeScript's parser. It does not return an INDENT token for b statement, rather it gives an OUTDENT token.

Since spacing of 1 space is allowed in CoffeeScript, it assumes you are indenting by one space, and that the b statement is just a outdent of 1, rather than an indentation of 1 (which would trigger inconsistent indentation rule)

I will try to take a look at this bug, as it may be easier to catch than the other INDENT issues we've had. Thanks for the report.

Hello. Basically what is happening can probably be explained in this issue jashkenas/coffeescript#3998. I don't know if this is really fixable without getting some help from the CoffeeScript developers.
