wat2wasm fails converting .wast files in testsuite: error: unexpected token (, expected EOF.

[AbeWJS]

Fresh clone of WABT on macOS built with CMake and make results in wat2wasm reporting errors like this one:

local build % ./wat2wasm ../third_party/testsuite/f32.wast -o ~/wasm_test.wasm ../third_party/testsuite/f32.wast:19:1: error: unexpected token (, expected EOF. (assert_return (invoke "add" (f32.const -0x0p+0) (f32.const -0x0p+0)) (f32.co... ^

Perhaps a configuration issue, but unsure why this would happen, everything suggests this should work out of the box.

wat (webassembly text format) 2 wasm does not support wast (which we believe originally stood for webassembly spec test?) files

If you want to process .wast files, the only option in wabt is wast2json.

As mentioned above, the other other tools only accept wat and wasm files.

Aye, understood. Thanks!
