Custom static atom encoder causes errors in the Elixir tokenizer's error formatting
Elixir and Erlang/OTP versions
Erlang/OTP 27 [erts-15.0.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1]
Elixir 1.17.2 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 27)
Operating system
macOS Big Sur 11.7.10
Current behavior
Code.string_to_quoted("Module(", static_atoms_encoder: fn atom, _metadata -> {:ok, {:atom, [], atom}} end)
Produces:
** (ArgumentError) argument error
(stdlib 6.0.1) io_lib.erl:297: :io_lib.format(~c"unexpected ( after alias ~ts. Function names and identifiers in Elixir start with lowercase characters or underscore. For example:\n\n hello_world()\n _starting_with_underscore()\n numb3rs_are_allowed()\n may_finish_with_question_mark?()\n may_finish_with_exclamation_mark!()\n\nUnexpected token: ", [{:atom, [], "Module"}])
(elixir 1.17.2) src/elixir_tokenizer.erl:1366: :elixir_tokenizer.handle_terminator/6
Expected behavior
Not sure 😅
One one hand, this is a pretty weird edge case (I'm using the Elixir parser as the base to parse expressions provided by users), so it might be find just leaving it as is.
On the other hand, it would be nice to not raise and return:
{:error, {metadata, "unexpected ( after alias. Function names and identifiers...", "("}}
