W8354 warning

Binding default key ignored on a flavor without default-key support

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: with --deny-warnings

The default option of @binding sets the key a binding gets by default, but the targeted clients have no support for default keys in Bindings.xml (no client in the flavor table declares it yet), so the key is ignored. The binding itself works; players bind a key in the Key Bindings UI. Remove default, or keep it for clients that support it later. The module never calls SetBinding for the player.

Example

× failswowlua

import binding from "wowlua:bindings" @binding("MYADDON_TOGGLE", { label = "Toggle window", default = "CTRL-T" })local function toggleWindow()    print("toggle")end

✓ compileswowlua

import binding from "wowlua:bindings" @binding("MYADDON_TOGGLE", { label = "Toggle window" })local function toggleWindow()    print("toggle")end

The compiler reports it like this:

warning[W8354]: the default key `CTRL-T` of `MYADDON_TOGGLE` is ignored: no targeted client supports default keys
