Broken syntax highlight in vscode with slash and @ symbols
Somewhat related to #822 but I thought I'd make a separate issue. This is not a parse error per se, only the highlighter acting up while the code compiles.
Initially I wanted to suggest pasting this into vscode to see but (I assume the highlighter is using a patched coffee syntax) this is also an issue with coffee syntax below as well (except that in vscode the last line of this code is printed properly as a comment).
class Test
public a : number = 2
public b : number = 4
@()
@b = Math.pow (@b % @a) / @a, (10 / @a) / (@a)
class NotARegexp
some : number
fields : object
to : RegExp
misinterpretation : any
@()
// comments will still be inside regexp
// @misinterpretation = "I am a comment that is highlighted as code"
// ^ this @ sign will fix and break syntax highlighting at the same time
As is, the highlighter thinks it's a regexp starting from (@b % @a) /
and it goes all the way until the @
sign breaks it around the end. If that @
is not there it's fairly easy to have the entire rest of a file stay highlighted as RegExp.
Try removing the parens around (@a)
at the end of the Math.pow
line, everything is fixed now.
Try removing @a
from the (10 / @a)
and replace with a literal like 20
, also fixed.
Something about the slashes and parens and @
angers the syntax highlighter.
