Not sure if this should work​:

09​:39 < isBEKaml> rakudo​: enum somenum <a b c d e>; my somenum $temp =
3; say $temp.key;
09​:39 <+p6eval> rakudo 982e8e​: OUTPUT«Type check failed for
assignment␤current instr.​: '&die' pc 18373 (src/builtins/Junction.pir​:373)␤»

But this should work for sure​:

09​:39 <@​moritz_> rakudo​: enum somenum <a b c d e>; my somenum $temp = d;
say $temp
09​:39 <+p6eval> rakudo 982e8e​: OUTPUT«Type check failed for
assignment␤current instr.​: '&die' pc 18373 (src/builtins/Junction.pir​:373)␤»

@coke - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

Still don't know if the first one should work, but the second one does
work now​:

15​:27 < [Coke]> rakudo​: enum somenum <a b c d e>; my somenum $temp = 3;
say
  $temp.key;
15​:27 <+p6eval> rakudo ce15be​: OUTPUT«Type check failed in assignment to

15​:27 < [Coke]> rakudo​: enum somenum <a b c d e>; my somenum $temp = d;
say
  $temp;
15​:27 <+p6eval> rakudo ce15be​: OUTPUT«somenum​::d␤»

Hearing no objection, closable with tests.

From @usev6

stmuk added a test for this recently​: Raku/roast@b4fc0fe

I moved the test from S02-names/75370.t to S12-enums/basic.t (which is in 't/spectest.data').

@usev6 - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
