Missing compiler error when assigning a Variant to a RecordRef #8239

Description

@NKarolak

1. Describe the bug
Since BC 26 / runtime 15.2, an implicit conversion between Record and RecordRef is supported.

The compiler now allows us also to assign a (record based) variant to RecRef:
RecRef := SomeVariant;
But this will result in a runtime error:
The expression Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Runtime.NavIndirectValue cannot be type-converted to a Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Runtime.NavRecordRef value.

2. To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add assignment like RecRef := SomeVariant;.
Then run the code in the web client.

3. Expected behavior
Error in the AL compiler for the RecRef := SomeVariant; line, no publish possible.

4. Actual behavior
Error in the web client, which is too late.

5. Versions:

  • AL Language: v17.0.2273547
  • Business Central: 27.1
