Description

The JSS parser seems to have issues when it encounters curly braces:

font:{fontSize:15, fontWeight:'bold'};

shadowOffset:{x:0, y:1};

The first line can be rewritten in JSS using CSS syntax as follows:

font-size:15;
font-weight:'bold';

This seems to be magically understood by Titanium.

But the CSS equivalent for shadows does not work:

text-shadow: 0 1 #6E7983;

The parser also requires JSS properties to be separated by semi-colons and not by commas, which means properties can't simply be cut and pasted from code files into JSS files. Not sure if this is by design, but it's a bit of a hassle.

    Maybe also affects android?

    I just verified that this also does not work on Android, and I collected some relevant logs.

    If necessary, I can split off an Android ticket.

    Tested On

    BROKEN on Android Device Samsung Epic 4G running Android 2.2
    BROKEN on iPhone Simulator 4.3
    BROKEN with Titanium Mobile 1.6.2 (03/30/11 17:25 0243d42...)
    BROKEN with Titanium Mobile 1.7.0 (04/05/11 10:30 731db9c...)

    Relevant Logs

    Regardless of the platform, the following syntax errors show up in the build logs:

       Syntax error at 'LexToken(LBRACE,' {',1,106)'
   Syntax error at 'LexToken(S,' ',1,111)'
   Syntax error at 'LexToken(S,' ',1,117)'

    On Android, these errors show up right after "[INFO] Copying platform-specific files ..." and on iOS right after "[INFO] iPhone simulated device: iphone".

    JSS is like CSS and CSS does not allow values to be "objects" with curly braces. Furthermore, Titanium does not support shadowOffset or text-shadow and probably never will. Consider using Alloy.
