E0118 error

export function with a dotted or method name

area: parsing (x01xx)
fails the build: yes

export function is followed by a dotted or method name (M.f, M:m). An export names a module-level local, so it takes a plain name. Export the function by its own name, or export the table and add functions to it.

Example

× failswowlua

export local M = {}export function M.greet()    print("hello")end

✓ compileswowlua

export local M = {}function M.greet()    print("hello")end

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E0118]: `export function` takes a plain name
  ┌─ src/main.wowlua:2:17
  │
2 │ export function M.greet()
  │                 ^^^^^^^ here
