Compiler version

3.0.0-RC2-bin-20210317-758782a-NIGHTLY

Minimized code

def bar2: Int = {
  println(1)
  println(2)
  return
    var x = 1
    var y = 1
    x + y
}

bar2

Output

return              
^^^^^^              
Found:    Unit      
Required: Int       

Expectation

According to:
http://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/other-new-features/indentation.html#optional-braces

... an indentation region can start ... after one of the following tokens:
... return ...

So the code should compile, or the reference should be adjusted.

If you extract the return result to a variable it works:

Though the output is badly-sorted: def bar2: Int should go before function call (REPL issue?)

[abgruszecki]

@unkarjedy did the output look different in Scala2? I don't think there's much we can do about that particular part, considering that one can define multiple vals in one REPL input...

[som-snytt]

I recently revisited a closed scala 2 ticket about order of REPL output, which at least demonstrates that there are differing expectations. scala/bug#10893

This will be fixed by #11752
