Colon in call

warning A warning says what Statac did instead, and the build goes on.

An argument in a snippet call was named with a colon, caption: 'Post 1', where a call names its arguments with =, caption='Post 1'.

What you’ll see

warning  Colon in call: `caption:` was read as `caption=`
  Write `caption=` instead.

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac warns

The meaning is clear, so Statac uses the value as though you had written = and tells you. A call is written the same way in your writing and in a template, and a template names arguments with =.

How to fix it

Write = in place of the colon.

Example

In content/post-1.md:

@image('photo-1.jpg', caption: 'Post 1')

Write it as:

@image('photo-1.jpg', caption='Post 1')

Its name

Name	`colon-in-call`
In the terminal	`statac explain colon-in-call`
To stop showing it	`quiet: [colon-in-call]` in `statac.yaml`, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
