Regression when using OneOrMore with nestedExpr

[Tobias Urdin]

Hello,

We tried upgrading from 3.0.9 to 3.1.0 and noticed the following regression in that the error message changed, is this intended? Thanks!

import pyparsing

v = '(metroc foo bar'

try:
    v = pyparsing.OneOrMore(
            pyparsing.nestedExpr()).parseString(v).asList()[0]
except pyparsing.ParseException as e:
    print(str(e))

Thanks for submitting this issue. I made some updates in the recent 3.1.1 release around the changes in error messages, but those changes did not address this issue. I agree that the previous error message is clearer and more helpful. I'll try to get a 3.1.2 out with a fix, but it will probably not be for a few weeks.

thanks! :)

Hello @ptmcg 👋 Sorry for the bump – is there any plan to release a new 3.1.2 with a fix for this anytime soon or should we adapt to the new error message instead?

Thanks again for your patience. I will look at this by the weekend at the latest.

Hi, I was looking at this issue a little bit. I wanted to fix it, so that gnocchi can unpin pyparsing. I am unsure what is the correct way to change that error message, but at least I found what change caused this error message to change. Maybe it'll help with fixing the issue. Using the tobias' test code, the pyparsing falls into the except there and rewrites the old "Expected ')' ..." error message to "Expected nested () ...".

Thanks for the research - looking at this this evening.
