Elvis Operator

[Sean Daniels]

I assume there is a good reason why you can't do:

name = contact.getName() ?: 'Unavailable'

The code above throws "left operant of the Elvis operator has to be a variable declaration". Is there any way to remove this limitation?

please open a ticket for this in the JIRA.

thanks

interestingly, if you enable "magic getters" you can do

name = contact.name ?: 'Unavailable'

so this is probably just a syntax parser issue
