Bug 336665

Syntax error on token "get", : expected after this token (JSDT with object getter setter) 

when using this syntax to define getter and setters;
get name() { return this.aName },

the javascript validator doesn't like the syntax with this message;
Syntax error on token "get", : expected after this token

Here is the full file;

However this syntax is used for developing XPCOM objects for firefox plugins. any suggestions on how to fix that?


It looks like the validator does not support this operator;

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
define a getter on some object value;


var o = {
  get latest () {
    if (this.log.length > 0) {
      return this.log[this.log.length - 1];
    }
    else {
      return null;
    }
  },
  log: []
}
