template strings are not a single expression

[ZeeD]

When the template strings are converted to pure brightscript they became a complex expression.
this means that you cannot directly call "methods" attached to strings (like encodeUri()) because it will be applied only to the last segment.

minimal example:

sub s()
    example = `${1}${2}`.encodeUri()
    example = `${1}-`.encodeUri()
end sub

translate to:

sub s()
    example = bslib_toString(1) + bslib_toString(2).encodeUri()
    example = bslib_toString(1) + "-".encodeUri()
end sub

As a workaround, for now, I can just "wrap" the template string with brackets (as in

example = (`...`).encodeUri()

) , but it should be bsc job, IMHO

I completely agree. This should be a very quick fix, I'm working on it now.
