E8390 error

Invalid color hex literal

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

A literal passed to color.hex is not a color. Write six hex digits rrggbb, or eight aarrggbb with the alpha first, optionally after #. Literals are checked and folded into CreateColor(r, g, b, a) at compile time, so a wrong one is caught before the addon runs.

Example

× failswowlua

import * as color from "wowlua:color" local orange = color.hex("ff880")print(orange:GetRGB())

✓ compileswowlua

import * as color from "wowlua:color" local orange = color.hex("ff8800")print(orange:GetRGB())

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E8390]: `ff880` is not a color: write "rrggbb" or "aarrggbb" in hex digits, optionally after `#`
