Java error not shown

[Arthurm1]

Describe the bug

Create a java file with the following...

class Foo {
  String bar = "bar";
}

this compiles fine and if errors are introduced then they are reported on the VSCode Problems page and highlighted in red.

Now change bar to...

class Foo {
  String foo = "\{x} plus \{y} equals \{x + y}";
}

Now there are java tokenisation errors in the logs because the String is invalid which is fine but there are no errors on the Problems page and nothing highlighted in red. Also there are stale bloop error: error: illegal escape character errors but only in the Metals logs. The stale error seems correct - I'd expect that to show on the Problems page.

I'm using Bloop v1.5.3-40-0bd25506 and jdk 17

Expected behavior

I'd expect to see the errors on the Problems page and highlighted in the file.

Thanks for reporting, this might be related to tokenization that we do in Metals :thinking: It's needed to calculate the current position for the diagnostic.
