Nand and xor operators not working

Hi

I am using logstash 1.5.4 version on Ubuntu 14.04. I am unable to make use of nand, xor operator in conditionals.

The error resulted and the configuration used for xor operator example is given below: (similar error appears for nand operator as well)

Error:

SyntaxError: (eval):22: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER
if (((x = event["[type]"]; x.respond_to?(:include?) && x.include?(("cwout")))) xor (event["[type]"] == ("cricket"))) # if "cwout" in [type] xor [type] == "cricket"

Configuration used is:

input
{
stdin
{
type => "stdin-input"
}
}
output
{
if "cwout" in [type] xor [type] == "cricket"
{
stdout {}
}
}

Can anyone tell me the solution for this ?

AFAICT this is a bug in Logstash. I've reported it as github.com/elastic/logstash issue #4012. You can obviously work around the bug by rewriting the expression.
