E0117 error

import _ combined with other names

area: parsing (x01xx)
fails the build: yes

import _ is combined with other names, as in import _, clamp from "./math". import _ only makes sure a file loads first and binds nothing, so it must be the only name in its import. A named import already loads its module first, so drop the _.

Example

× failswowlua

import _, clamp from "./math"print(clamp(5, 0, 1))

✓ compilessrc/main.wowluawowlua

import clamp from "./math"print(clamp(5, 0, 1))

src/math.wowluawowlua

export function clamp(v: number, lo: number, hi: number): number    return math.max(lo, math.min(hi, v))end

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E0117]: `import _` cannot be combined with other names
  ┌─ src/main.wowlua:1:8
