Originally created by @StefMa on GitHub (Oct 28, 2025).

Given:

abstract class Bird {
  abstract name: String
  function greet(bird: Bird): String = "Hello, \(bird.name)!"
}

class Pigeon extends Bird {
  // Here, I forgot to overried `name`
}

pigeon: Pigeon = new {}

Leads to:

pkl failed with error Error: Command failed: /var/task/node_modules/@pkl-community/pkl-linux-x64/bin/pkl eval - --no-project --format json --allowed-modules pkl:,repl: --allowed-modules package: --cache-dir /tmp/pkl

@StefMa commented on GitHub (Oct 28, 2025):

If I go with abstract hidden name: String, it works perfectly fine.
Even wihtout overriding it in the child-class.
Seems also wrong to me 👀

abstract class Bird {
  abstract hidden name: String
  function greet(bird: Bird): String = "Hello, \(bird.name)!"
}

class Pigeon extends Bird {
  // Here, I forgot to overried `name`
}

pigeon: Pigeon = new {}

☝️ Works without any issues

@HT154 commented on GitHub (Oct 28, 2025):

The second one is definitely expected behavior: hidden properties are not rendered, and because Pkl evaluation is lazy the entire property is not evaluated, so the error never occurs.
