Think this is a bug.

I had an entity:

entity Day {
name :: String
}

with some initialisation:

init {
/*
var day : Day;
day := Day { name := “Monday” };
day.save();
day := Day { name := “Tuesday” };
day.save();
//…
}

Then converted the entity to an enum:

enum Day {
mon(“Monday”),
tue(“Tuesday”),
wed(“Wednesday”),
//…
}

Kicked off a build, forgetting to remove corresponding code in the init function. All 9 webdsl stages ran successfully; error only surfaced during java compilation.

Shouldn’t there be a typecheck rule to catch this? Init code tries to create instance of enum - which I’d expect to be illegal.
