Single-line Python docstring not detected

[alexreg]

Using a single-line Python docstring like

"""TODO"""

does not get picked up.

On the other hand, the following does get picked up correctly.

"""
TODO
"""

What have you set the regex to?

[alexreg]

@Gruntfuggly My only config setting is the following.

    "todo-tree.general.tags": [
        "BUG",
        "HACK",
        "FIXME",
        "TEMP",
        "TODO",
        "XXX",
    ],

Ah OK, yes, it matches your second example due to the default regex. You'll need to add something to the regex, e.g. change it from (\*|//|#|<!--|;|/\*|^|^[ \t]*(-|\d+.))\s*($TAGS) to ("""|\*|//|#|<!--|;|/\*|^|^[ \t]*(-|\d+.))\s*($TAGS)

@Gruntfuggly That does the job, thank you. Incidentally, the \* wasn't there by default — what's that for?

Also, will you be adjusting the default in a future release? No worries if not.

[Gruntfuggly]

Ah, maybe I had tweaked it for C++.

I don't update the default anymore - every time I used to update it, people complained because it broke the default behaviour. It would never be possible to cover all cases anyway, so it's easier to leave it for people to configure for themselves.

[alexreg]

@Gruntfuggly That's fair enough. Thanks!
