Overriding terminal indirectly through multiple module imports fails when using separator repetition

[Tiger-Tom]

• parglare version: 0.18.0
• Python version: 3.12.2
• Operating System: Linux 6.8.7-arch1-1

Description

When overriding a terminal through multiple layers of grammar (base.sub.SEP), all rules using separator repetition syntax with the overridden terminal as the separator will fail with a KeyError whilst constructing Grammar

What I Did

Say I have three files:

• base.pg, which imports sub.pg and defines a rule utilizing sub.Rule
• sub.pg, which defines a terminal SEP and a rule Rule that uses +[SEP]
• overrider.pg, which imports base.pg and defines a terminal base.sub.SEP

Example files

base.pg

import './sub.pg' ;
main: sub.Rule+ ;

sub.pg

Rule:  ITEM+[SEP] ;
terminals
ITEM: /\w+/ ;
SEP:  '.' ;

overrider.pg

import './base.pg' ;
main: base.main ;
terminals
base.sub.SEP: ',' ;

When constructing grammar from base.pg, everything is fine.
However, upon constructing grammar from overrider.pg: parglare.exceptions.GrammarError: Error at /home/shae/Desktop/Coding/Caustic/CausticGrammar/src/caustic/grammar/test/sub.pg:1:7:"Rule: **> ITEM+[SEP]" => Unexisting module "ITEM_1_base" in reference "ITEM_1_base.sub.SEP"

[igordejanovic]

Looks like a bug. Thanks for the detailed report.

[Tiger-Tom]

Let me know if you need any more details. This is a great library and I'm happy to help in whatever way I can.

[igordejanovic]

Would you be able to provide a failing test for this?
