[Pas2js] Pas2js fails to produce valid code for default constructor expressed with empty parentheses... (techsupport)

[Frameworks]

Corrected/clarified DPR project file attached now distinguishing local "l'TestObject (used to hold a reference to each class instance whose default constructor is being tested with and without empty parentheses) from the unit global "g" test fixture status variables used to track test progress/results -- apologies for any confusion.

Hello,

 

The tests carried out within the attached Delphi unit test project (a single .DPR created with TMS WEB Core v0.9.8.3) demonstrate an apparent bug in Pas2js v0.9.32+beta wherein the default constructor of an object of any class type (i.e., a constructor having no arguments) fails IFF said constructor is invoked with empty parentheses:
//
//    TObject.Create( );   // <--- this fails in browser
//
//  rather than simply:
//
//    TObject.Create;      // <--- this does not fail in browser
//
Per the attached project which tests default creation of a TObject, TStringList and TWebDataModule (each with and without empty parentheses), this issue has been confirmed on the latest versions of Chrome and FireFox running on Windows 10. As "Create( );" is indeed valid Pascal code and not to antagonize those Pascal language purists (like me ;-) who hate to chase such non-obvious YET seriously annoying bugs, this issue should be fixed soon (please).

 

Appreciatively,
