Strange behaviour with buttonSetAction

[mind 60]

Hi all,

 

I encountered rather strange and very dangerous bug.

 

Following code will execute, but will ignore structure elements like IF blocks. Resulting in both lines written.

_action = '
   if (true) then {
      hint "This line MUST print"
   } else {
      hint "This line MUST NOT print"
   }
';
_button buttonSetAction _action;

Pressing this button will result in printing both lines with no errors, it is if like there were no IF block or it`s evaluation skipped.

 

However following code will execute as expected

_action = 'if (true) then {hint "This line MUST print"} else {hint "This line MUST NOT print"}';
_button buttonSetAction _action;

It looks like newlines and tabs, causing this strange behaviour.

 

P.S.

Other workaround for buttonSetAction is using calling global function.

Strange indeed, but not really if you consider that the button statement is expected to be in SQS format: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/SQS_syntax
