Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token .

[n1k0]

While messing around trying to figure out how to reuse message types across modules, I've introduced an erroneous use of a dot notation which compiled fine but generated a SyntaxError once executed in the browser.

Sample minimal code:

module Bug exposing (..)


type Msg
    = NoOp
    | Foo.Bar


type alias Model =
    {}


update : Msg -> Model -> ( Model, Cmd Msg )
update msg model =
    case msg of
        NoOp ->
            ( model, Cmd.none )

        Foo.Bar ->
            ( model, Cmd.none )

Compiles just fine while it probably shouldn't. Generated js breaks with a SyntaxError:

I'm using Elm v0.17 installed from npm on Ubuntu 16.04 64.

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

This is a known problem. As the issue template says, please check the "meta" issues before opening new ones. In this case, #1374.

Sorry, I swear I searched.
