E3040 error

Local or parameter named super inside a class body

area: classes (x3xxx)
fails the build: yes

A local or parameter named super inside a class body. There super means the superclass (super(...), super:speak()), so a local of that name would hide it. Rename the local.

Example

× failswowlua

class Animal    function speak()        local super = 1        print(super)    endendprint(Animal)

✓ compileswowlua

class Animal    function speak()        local base = 1        print(base)    endendprint(Animal)

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E3040]: `super` cannot be a local name inside a class body
