syntax: selector with string literal doesn't support interpolation
commit 00c5ddf5e4ed1781cbf07b9b941a1c7c36a62d87
The spec says of selectors that the field selector "must be an identifier or a string literal identifying any definition or regular non-optional field".
A string literal containing an interpolation is still a string literal, so I'd expect that to work, but it doesn't.
Here's a testscript reproducer:
exec cue export x.cue
cmp stdout expect.json
-- x.cue --
x: a: 10
y: x."\("a")"
-- expect.json --
{
"x": {
"a": 10
},
"y": 10
}
I see this error:
expected selector, found 'INTERPOLATION' "\(:
./x.cue:2:6
but I'd expect to see the output in the expect.json file above.
