Comment 1 Brian Svihovec CLA 2011-10-31 23:18:11 EDT 
Does this testcase fail when generating Java as well?  If not, this should probably go to the JS Gen component.
Comment 2 Paul Harmon CLA 2011-11-02 09:24:20 EDT 
I am routing this to JSGen, since this is working in JavaGen.

The "+" operator to concatenate elements to a list is being removed (will give errors in validation). The only valid operator for concatenation to an array is "::", and the only valid concatenation assignment is "::="
Comment 3 broy2 CLA 2011-11-02 09:52:48 EDT 
OK, changed the program to use ::.
Still have errors in the editor which prevent testing in Java and JS.

    myNames string[] =["Carolina", "State", "Duke"];
    element string = "Meredith";
    newList string[];
    function main()
        newList = myNames :: element;  
    end
end

This is a regression of bug 362155.
Widget qualifier has to be handled differently.
