IF doesn't fetch values in a hash from stash

[dagurval]

Given %a = (b => 'b')

This template:

[% IF a.b %]
[% a.b %]
[% END %]

Will produce this output:

return sub ($context) {
 my $stash = $context.stash;
my $output = '';
$output ~= Q{{{{}}}};
if a.b {
$output ~= Q{{{{}}}};
$output ~= $stash.get('a.b');$output ~= Q{{{{}}}};

}
$output ~= Q{{{{
}}}};
return $output;

Hash values are not fetched from stash in an IF statement.

Thank you for documenting this. It is an issue I'd planned to work on back when I was more active on these projects.
Template6 is probably the most ambitious of the three or four template engines I started writing for Perl 6, and getting it "right" will likely take some time, and more than my own effort, especially as I haven't found much time for any of my Github projects in the last several months.

For now, the workaround is: setting a variable to the nested value, and using that in the condition.
