Bug using slash in string

[LoiKos]

i have a bug using a / in a string that break the syntax coloration :

 let type = null
    if (bill) {
      type = 'Ex/ample' // here syntax isn't render correctly 
    } else if (vn) {
      type = 'Something'
    } else if (ctn) {
      type = 'Something else'
    } else if (imo) {
      type = 'Something else'
    }

Okay, I was able to reproduce this. ~It appears like this is not a bug, and instead a feature.~ It's both I'm not using flow but as I looked into docs, the culprit is your type variable, which is being treated as flow type annotation. Now there are two things —

• Look for flow_types option in your JSCustom User Settings and remove that (Only if you are not using flow)
• Or, avoid using type as a variable name.

I hope this helps.

Oh okay i find that flow_types option i'll take a look... I don't yet if i remove this or if i change my variable name but it helps thanks !

When the flow syntax extension sees type at the beginning of the line, it assumes that it's a type annotation. This should be an easy fix. If I don't get to it today due to the holidays, it should be fixed by Wednesday.

By the way, in the immediate term you can work around this by wrapping the statement in parens:

(type = 'Ex/ample');

v1.0.28 should fix this. Please let me know if it does not.
