SyntaxSuggest::ExplainSyntax

Explains syntax errors based on their source

example:

source = "def foo; puts 'lol'" # Note missing end
explain ExplainSyntax.new(
  code_lines: CodeLine.from_source(source)
).call
explain.errors.first
# => "Unmatched keyword, missing `end' ?"

When the error cannot be determined by lexical counting then the parser is run against the input and the raw errors are returned.

Example:

source = "1 * " # Note missing a second number
explain ExplainSyntax.new(
  code_lines: CodeLine.from_source(source)
).call
explain.errors.first
# => "syntax error, unexpected end-of-input"
