Accessing passed in variable to a mixin with Jade templates

Question

I have a form helper mixin that I'm passing in a variable to:

mixin form-error(error)
  if (typeof errors !== 'undefined' && errors.#{error})
    .alert.alert-error.form-error
      =errors.#{error}.msg

Calling it and passing a string to it:

mixin form_error('name')

but am getting: 500 SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

Essentially I took everything out and it was upset over errors.#{error} and =errors.#{error}.msg

So I can't use #{error} after a . ?

Do you mean this?

mixin form-error(error)
 if (typeof errors !== 'undefined' && errors[error])
  .alert.alert-error.form-error
   =errors[error].msg
