Hey all.. has anyone come across this before? It seems one cannot use the Elvis operator with the return value (struct) of a function.

v = foo()["bar"] ?: "xxx";

v = foo().bar ?: "xxx";

Bug in Lucee. Works how one would expect in CF.

Thanks Adam, it’s well covered then.. VERY annoying having to set an interim variable after calling a getter..

Also annoying it's been sitting around since 2015...

idk, I kind of prefer to dramatically sigh about such things until Zack stumbles on it and fixes it, the end result seems to be better than if I try to patch Lucee myself

There are more ways to contribute to an OSS project than doing pull reqs. And the whole "you can do a pull req" is just unnecessary passive aggressive patronisation of ppl already trying to help with things.

but if you can contribute pull reqs @sknowlton , you'd make me very very very happy, so far our attempts at cloning me haven't worked

@chapmandu You can do this though...[v = foo()?.bar ?: "xxx";] https://trycf.com/gist/b8dea3ffef361fe4763aba1c6c88e972/lucee5?theme=monokai

@ian.hickey Thanks, I didn't know this was available in Lucee.. not a terrible workaround..
