issue with if else stmt

[Ashish Abrol]

Hi 

I have recently started with jsonnet and having trouble working with if else construct.

here is my sample program

*******************************************************

local var=true;

[

if var then {a:1},{d:3} else {a:2},

{c:2}

]

******************************************************

it results in error 

STATIC ERROR: one.jsonnet:4:26-29: Expected a comma before next array element.

I am expecting it to generate the following outcome

[

{a:1},

{d:3}},

{c:2}

]

can someone help me get this result.

thanks

Ashish

The branches need to return arrays, then you add them on to the rest of your array:

local var=true;
(if var then [{a:1},{d:3}] else [{a:2}])
+ [{c:2}]

I see that you have taken out the outer array brackets [] from the program. Although it works but it becomes a nested array structure now. Which i want to avoid?
