Type does not support array initialization syntax

[quasi dagger]

is this not possible in zig? do I have to specify all the properties explicitly?

const TestCase = struct { input: []const u8, operator: []const u8, intLit: i64 };
    const tests = [_]TestCase{
        .{"!5;", "!", 5},
        .{"-15;", "-", 15},
    };

Yep, you can't initialize structs with array init syntax. Your main options are:

• specify all the field names, as in .{ .input = "!5;", .operator = "!", .int_lit = 5 }
• make a trivial constructor, so you can write TestCase.init("!5;", "!", 5)
• use tuples:

const TestCase = struct { []const u8, []const u8, i64 };
// then the declaration you gave works

(Minor note: standard naming conventions in Zig are to use snake_case for most variables and fields, so it'd be int_lit)

Thanks a lot. I was actually using the tuples and though it would be easier instead using index in my test. regarding the the naming convention I am currently lost on the rules so if there is place to read all the rules I would be happy. At the moment i have seen pascal case in some context but i don't know when to use snake case over pascal case.
