Razor TextMate grammar does not handle nullability well in @code blocks

[tn-5]

As soon as a property is declared that is of a nullable type, i.e. ? suffix, the syntax highlighting of the rest of the file seems to get confused.

Reproduce

• Generate standard template project: dotnet new blazorserver
• Open in VS Code
• Open FetchData.razor
• Observe syntax highlighting correctly highlights WeatherForecast as a class/type

Add nullable field

• Add string? test; before the WeatherForecast declaration
• Observe that the highlighting of WeatherForecast is still correct

Add nullable property

• Add string? test1 {get; set;} before the WeatherForecast declaration
• Observe that the highlighting of WeatherForecastnow reverts to generic text

It does not seem to make any difference if the setting on the project file is enabled or not.

I've had to turn off the new Language Services because this has made my tooling completely unusable. I was having to code blind and see if there were errors via build which is no fun.

This project builds successfully but the razor tools break at the ? on line 19:

@JoeRobich does O#'s C# grammar support this in VSCode?

[JoeRobich]

No the C# textmate grammar is still quite a bit behind. We would recommend enabling Semantic Highlighting.

@tn-5 Could you open an issue against https://github.com/dotnet/csharp-tmLanguage?

Good. I also noticed this recently. I think the nullable feature needs some more love in the toolchain if it is gonna be widely adopted.

I also have this issue :(

I am also having this issue as well.

A note since it seems to have been lost, the issue was filed against csharp-tmLanguage as https://github.com/dotnet/csharp-tmLanguage/issues/191.
