psc-bundle is unable to parse module when purescript-spec is installed

[ghost]

psc-bundle (and pulp build with the --to flag) gives me the error The module could not be parsed. whenever Test.Spec.* modules have been built to the output directory. When I delete those directories, I am able to bundle. Any idea what's causing this?

Hmm, not able to recreate this. Could you provide a minimal project and list the commands you're running? Which versions of purescript-spec, psc and pulp are you using?

Thanks!

Sure, here's output from my shell; let me know if you need any more info:

==> mkdir example

==> cd example

==> pulp -v
4.3.0

==> psc --version
0.7.0.0

==> pulp init

Thank you!

It seems that the escape sequence at https://github.com/owickstrom/purescript-spec/blob/12ee764274c0900c4f8167dd2ecb2b5f815a9280/src/Test/Spec/Console.purs#L22 gets interpreted during the PS -> JS compilation. The module in output/ contains the unescaped character which causes the bundle to fail. I'll try to move the string literal with the escape to a foreign function and see if that works.

I did a workaround for this and released a new version 0.7.1. Please let me know if it works out.

Thanks for your feedback!

The new version works - thank you!

FYI purescript/purescript#1265 is fixed now!
