[Harlowe] "...must be followed by a Harlowe-hook" error caused by tabs in code

[sdarkwell]

A passage containing the following code (which contains a tab between ')' and '[' results in error "Story format transcoding failed at passage FirstPassage: 'if' must be followed by a Harlowe-hook.":
(if: $test is 0) [test]

The generated json contains the following entry for the tab character:

{
   "text": "\t\,
   "type": "text"
},

The error can be prevented via the brute-force method of pre-loading the file, removing all tab characters, then saving the file before it is parsed by PhantomJS, but this won't work as a real-world solution.

I spent a number of hours attempting to fix this in a more elegant way, but my unfamiliarity with the code limited my progress. If anyone more familiar with this than I am can push a fix, it would be much appreciated!

This was actually fixed on the develop branch, which is stable and usable, but untested yet unfortunately.

@daterre:

Ah! I see that. I didn't even think to look there.

Apologies. Thank you!

@daterre:

Hello. I've downloaded the development branch and tried it with both the .dll files and the .src files, and the errors still exist. It appears that an whitespace between and (if:) and [] will result in an error.

For example:
(if: $sleepFails is 0) [abruptly awoke in $their bed.]
... has an error, whereas:

(if: $sleepFails is 0) [abruptly awoke in $their bed.]
... does not.

Thank you!

Was this solved eventually? :) I have the same error importing my twine file :(

@keimax The source code is available for you to change.
Maybe you can have a look at the parsing code and see if the space causes issue?
