[babe] :var assignment no longer of tolerant of whitespace

[Martyn Jago]

Hi

It used to be the case that you could assign a variable and any
whitespace would be chomped:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var a = 1 :var b = 2

(+ a b)

#+end_src

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However it is now required to remove the whitespace:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var a=1 :var b=2

(+ a b)

#+end_src

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I haven't noticed any announcement of a change in terms of whitespace
use, so I'm mentioning it in case it is actually a regression, or is it
by design? If the change has been announced, then I apologize in advance
for the noise.

Best, Martyn

Hi Martyn,

Tom mentioned this regression earlier and I treated it as a new
restriction on variable specifications, but if multiple people are
running into this issue I suppose spaces around equals should be
supported.

I have just pushed up a change and a test case ensuring that examples
like yours below will work.

Cheers -- Eric
