system example code results in error

[gorlak]

Running the example code on the docs page for system results in:

Error: expected string; got table

Also, it doesn't report the line number, which isn't particularly useful when encountering this.

Are the docs out of date, or maybe it's a bug?

I don't think I've ever used system as a table personally, so I'm not sure if it's bug vs out of date docs. @starkos any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure the documentation mixes up "system" and "platform" here.

The correct example would be:

workspace "MyWorkspace"
   configurations { "Debug", "Release" }
   platform { "Windows", "Unix", "Mac" }

   filter "platform:Windows"
      system "windows"

   filter "platform:Unix"
      system "linux"

   filter "platform:Mac"
      system "macosx"
