BUG - Data Source - BigQuery - Custom Query Editor (breaks on "-" character)

Looker Q&A Looker Studio

Repro:

  1. Create a new Bigquery Data Source

  2. Select custom query

  3. Enter a simple select query such as Select * FROM blah, no issues.

  4. Enter a “-” character, the editor hangs and stops functioning.

  5. This also repros if you cut and paste any query containing the “-” character into the editor area. such as :

“SELECT - 1 as test”

Strange, I haven’t been able to reproduce that myself. Tried both as a -1, - 1 and “-” in a select statement, all worked ok for me.
