TODO Tree not showing anything after scan

[ZPHannesD]

Hi @Gruntfuggly ,

i just installed TODO tree (v0.0.215) in VSCode and its not showing the "TODO" Tab in explorer and so not showing any TODOS somewhere. Highlighting options work fine. My Debug output is as follows:

}

So I guess scanning files is working fine but why isn't it displaying the TODO tab in explorer?

Same issue here. The plugin stopped working a few months ago.

I fixed this on mine by editing the regex.

I would copy what you have and save it somewhere and then try the generic catchall regex to see if that works.

If the generic one works then you can either keep it or adapt what you had originally so that it recognises the comments of whatever language you are using.

I think it's more likely that the view has gone missing.

If you go to the "View" menu, then select "Open view...", you should find Todo Tree in the list. Hopefully clicking it will reveal the view. You can then drag it to the explorer pane or wherever else you want it.

Closing due to lack of updates - if this is still an issue, please feel free to reopen.
