882 :: undeclared identifier: 'stdlin'

• joseki (orginal) [2015-02-16T22:30:05+01:00] view original

  Just installed win-builds and nim for windows 8.1 and tried to run the following code :

  ---

  echo("What's your name? ")

  var name: string = readLine(stdin)

  echo("Hi, ", name, "!")

  ---

  only to result in the following error:

  greetings.nim(3, 28) Error: undeclared identifier: 'stdlin'

  Process terminated with exit code 1

  what am i missing?

  Are you sure you don't have a typo somewhere? stdlin is in the error message, not stdin

  Your example doesn't work for me either, but I get a different message (I'm using Linux though): Error: ambiguous identifier: 'stdin' -- use a qualifier. To fix this, I'm able to use system.stdin. Are you?

  Edit: I just realized that this only happens when using the REPL, whoops

  Error: ambiguous identifier: 'stdin' -- use a qualifier

  That means you have defined stdin somewhere else.
