Hi, so I'm trying to create two java.io.File objects. It seems like the it works the first time but fails the second time. Both files exist and switching file names doesn't make a difference. Similar code works in a .fan file (tested with fanide.) I wonder what I'm missing? Thanks.

D:\Java\fantom-1.0.56\bin>fansh
Fantom Shell v1.0.56 ('?' for help)
fansh> using [java]java.io::File as JFile
Add using: using [java]java.io::File as JFile
fansh> f1 := JFile("c:\\autoLog.txt")
c:\autoLog.txt
fansh> f2 := JFile("c:\\autoexec.bat")
ERROR(16): Expected ')', not 'java'

here's code fansh tries to compile

using [java]java.io::File as JFile
class FanshEval {
new make(Str:Obj s) { _scope = s }
Str:Obj? _scope
Obj? _eval() {
  f1 := ([java]java.io::File?)_scope["f1"];
f2 := JFile("c:\\autoexec.bat"); return "__void__"; } }

Actually, anything except using after f1 := JFile("c:\\autoLog.txt") will fail. Seems like cast operator doesn't work with FFI types.

Renamed from fansh error to fansh doesn't handle Java FFI variables

Promoted to ticket #1344 and assigned to brian

Ticket resolved in 1.0.57

Fixed - fansh should handle using and using as for the Java FFI correctly now
