This works now:
$ $ perl6 -e 'class A {has Str $.n; has Str @.m}; for A.^attributes -> $attr
{say $attr.name, $attr.type};'
$!n(Str)
@!m(Positional[Str])
It looks like the problem back then was related to using gist. I tried with an
older rakudo:
$ $ ./perl6-m --version
This is Rakudo version 2015.12-60-g37e998d built on MoarVM version 2015.12
implementing Perl 6.c.
$ ./perl6-m -e 'class A {has Str @.array}; say A.^attributes[0].type.gist'
Method 'shortname' not found for invocant of class
'Perl6::Metamodel::CurriedRoleHOW'
in block <unit> at -e line 1
$ ./perl6-m -e 'class A {has Str @.array}; say A.^attributes[0].type.perl'
Positional[Str]
I added a test to S12-introspection/attributes.t with commit
https://github.com/perl6/roast/commit/b06e156032
I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.
