Markdown checkboxes no longer working

[mhkeller]

This plugin used to find things like

- [ ] this line was highlighted as a todo
- [x] this was already done and was not picked up 

For example it shows up in this person's issue as working correctly https://github.com/Gruntfuggly/todo-tree/issues/256

I'm using version 0.0.214 and these are no longer being detected. Is this a bug or did something change in the regex?

Can you post your todo tree settings?

[mhkeller]

{
  "todo-tree.highlights.defaultHighlight": {
        "foreground": "#fff",
        "background": "#00a1ff",
        "iconColour": "#00a1ff",
    },
  "todo-tree.tree.hideTreeWhenEmpty": true,
  "todo-tree.filtering.excludeGlobs": [
        "**/node_modules",
        "**/site-packages",
        "**/env",
        "**/venv"
    ],
  "todo-tree.filtering.ignoreGitSubmodules": true,
    "todo-tree.tree.flat": true,
    "todo-tree.highlights.highlightDelay": 133,
    "todo-tree.general.statusBar": "total",
    "todo-tree.general.debug": true,
    "todo-tree.general.tags": [
        "BUG",
        "HACK",
        "FIXME",
        "TODO",
        "XXX",
        "@TODO", 
        "@todo"
    ]
}

I have a temporary fix adding - [ ] to my tags list

[mhkeller]

I dropped the default regular expression into regexpal.com with some sample text and it correctly highlighted the - [ ] line so I'm not sure why it's not getting highlighted in the doc or showing up in the tree.

Yes, the default regex was updated in 0.0.214, so that it handles markdown in a more logical way. It expects [ ] and [x] to be added as tags. I had done this as a pop up option previously - now the default has changed I should have added the tags automatically. 🤦

Sorry about that - I will add them in the next release.

Thanks for looking into it!

This should be fixed in the latest version
