E0106 error

continue or break outside a loop

area: parsing (x01xx)
fails the build: yes

A break or continue is not inside a loop of the same function. Both only leave or restart the innermost while, repeat or for loop; a loop around the function that contains them doesn't count. Use return to leave a function early.

Example

× failswowlua

local function onEvent(event: string)    if event ~= "PLAYER_LOGIN" then        break    end    print("logged in")endonEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

✓ compileswowlua

local function onEvent(event: string)    if event ~= "PLAYER_LOGIN" then        return    end    print("logged in")endonEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E0106]: no loop to break near 'end'
