Assertion doesn't raise an error when it goes over the length of the tested string
Consider the following pattern
{
"name": "string",
"begin": "'",
"end": "'"
}
which is tested by this code:
fun main() {
s:='my string'
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ string
}
The test passes as the first ^
matches the tokens scope.
However I expect the test to fail, as all the following do not match.
@serkonda7, thank you for reporting this bug.
First of all, a "false positive" has a well defined meaning in the computer science. According to wikipedia: "A false positive is an error in binary classification in which a test result incorrectly indicates the presence of a condition (incorrect scope in our case)". In other words a false positive for the grammar test would be reporting errors when the test should pass clean.
I think something like "A test misses lots of required scopes" conveys meaning much better.
Well, I can replicate the behavior but only when ^
are going over the length of the previous string. Is this matches your findings?

Yes, that's what I have observed.
