Feature #11568: Misleading warning for duplicate keys in a hash

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -

[sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)]

When a hash literal has duplicate keys as follows,

{
  a: "foo",
  a: "bar",
}

the warning message goes as follows:

warning: duplicated key at line 3 ignored: :a

This message gives the impression as if it is the value "bar" at line 3 that is ignored, even though in reality it is the value "foo" at line 2 that is ignored. It is misleading. I suggest the message to be changed.
