Parse error on value ":" (tCOLON)

[liamdawson]

The following line of code causes an issue in brakeman:

has_many :security_questions, autosave: false

brakeman 3.0.2, ruby_parser 3.6.5

ruby -c file.rb
Syntax OK

Unlike similar bugs (seattlerb/ruby_parser#143), it isn't broken over multiple lines.

Hi Liam,

I don't think that's the problem:

$ irb
1.9.3-p484 :001 > require 'ruby_parser'
 => true
1.9.3-p484 :002 > RubyParser.new.parse "has_many :security_questions, autosave: false"
 => s(:call, nil, :has_many, s(:lit, :security_questions), s(:hash, s(:lit, :autosave), s(:false)))

I can't reproduce any issues via Brakeman either.

Interesting. I commented all the code after the offending line, and it ran fine. I'll see if I can narrow it down. Guessing I should redirect this to the ruby_parser repo?

[liamdawson]

Ah, the issue seems to be some regular expressions later in the file. I've filed it at seattlerb/ruby_parser#182

Going to close this, since it's not really about Brakeman.
