class field declaration and assignment is not respected

[eladcon]

I tried this:

class C {
  s: str = "123";
  init() {
  }
}

This happened:

eladcohen@Elads-w-MacBook-Pro a2 % wing test main.w
error: Preflight field "s" is not initialized
  --> main.w:2:7
  |
2 |   pub s: str = "123";
  |       ^ Preflight field "s" is not initialized

I expected this:

i wont have to explicitly assign to s again in init (or at least a compiler error on the declaration line)

Is there a workaround?

I don't believe this syntax is supported yet (see #3121). Perhaps it should have produced a syntax error instead?

[eladcon]

Wasn't aware of that issue, yeah i guess it should be an error

[staycoolcall911]

I don't think we should keep an issue for adding an error message for this case, since #3121 is p1.
I think we can close this for now.

Semi-related: #3121 will be split to 3 issues for default values in structs, classes and function signatures.
