Why 'Operators must be spaced properly &&'?

[kongakong]

Here is the coffeescript code. The line that causes the exception is marked with ## <- Error at the end.

SAFETY_EXPANDER_TIMEOUT = 300#ms
...

      startExpandingAt = _.now()

      while @_someCondition()\
      and _.now() - startExpandingAt < SAFETY_EXPANDER_TIMEOUT  ## <- Error

Why it causes the exception 'Operators must be spaced properly &&? How can I fix it? I am using version 1.14.2

This is the first example I've seen in coffeescript of using \ for a line continuation and putting the and on the next line. If you move your and to the previous line you won't need the \ for line continuation and it will fix this error.

while @_someCondition() and
_.now() - startExpandingAt < SAFETY_EXPANDER_TIMEOUT  ## <- Error

I'm not closing the issue because this still seems like a bug that could be addressed.

Hmm I would have to say this is not an error. The backslash is right next to the right paren so it sucks up the next available tokens (and) right next to it so the lexer (and therefore linter) sees it as

while @_someCondition()and _.now()...
