Wish Build configurations 3 or 5 lines into 1 (Condition)

[Peter Simpson]

Hello,
I know it's not really a big issue, but when using Build Configurations B4X developers do the following.

Example using 3 lines:
        #If Developer
            Log($"3 lines into 1 = "${MakeItSo}$)
        Else
            Log($"5 lines into 1 = "${MakeItSo}$)        
        #End If

It would be nice if we could just have the above work with one line just like the normal If > Then > Else condition.

Like this example using 1 line:
        #If Developer Then Log($"3 lines into 1 = "${MakeItSo}$) Else Log($"5 lines into 1 = "${MakeItSo}$)

Just like the standard conditions in the B4X suite of tools.

Thank you...

By the way, I did not know "if developer" until now.

If setup 2 conditions, Developer and Release, I use developer to view logs, to bypass the licensing library, to ignore warnings like file not used etc.

But I wish it was more like the standard if else, that way we can either use 3 into 1 line or better still 5 into 1 line of code.

While the syntax is indeed nice it is more complicated to implement then it might seem. The parser must build the document structure in a very efficient way. Many optimizations can be done based on the assumptions that subs and conditional symbols start on a new line.
