Any reason this is not just a bug in Lucee?

i=1
do {
    x = randRange(1,10)
    if (x > 5) {
        continue
    }
    writeOutput(x)
} while(++i <= 10)

Syntax Error, Invalid Construct

If one puts a semi-colon after the

continue

, it works. It works as one would expect on CF. https://trycf.com/gist/063a476b5ab7d0e67300fab8e2e55802/lucee5?theme=monokai Looks to me like it doesn't occur to Lucee that

}

can be considered the end of the previous statement, as much as

;

could be. I thought this had been raised previously, but didn't find anything in Jira. I might have been thinking of another situation where behaviour is similarly bung/unexpected. I def know I raised a ticket about

break

, but I was wrong with that one cos there was some legit uncertainty about whether or not the statement had ended with that one.

cfcontinue accepts an attribute https://docs.lucee.org/reference/tags/continue.html but I agree with you, the sending curly brace should be able to clue in the compiler that the statement is over.

Yeah I had a "TIL

cfcontinue

is a thing in CFScript" thing y/day
