@pmahony893 I didn't see !---
and #---
to be mentioned in the Oracle's Java Properties spec at all. Are you sure you are not confusing Java Properties format with YAML? YAML format properties can have the above doc separators but doesn't look like Java Properties format can have doc separators... Ultimately contents of the Java Properties file land in java.util.Properties
type object which is really a wrapper around a map.
@BoykoAlex I'm referring to the Spring Boot feature described here, whereby a properties file may be split into multiple documents, similar to yaml files.
There is already some editor support for this, however, it is incomplete, as only the # variant is recognised, and comments on neighbouring lines are not taken into account.
@pmahony893 I see - thanks for sharing the link to the doc. Looks like we need to extends the Java Properties Grammar and parser to handle this... There are other tools that work with application.properties
files, i.e. OpenRewrite recipes which also unlikely to recognize this new feature...
Fixed with 32c8a86d8691f878f7dbb6cdf2f69a548d0a69ca
Expected Behaviour In properties files,
!---
and#---
can both be used to separate documents (as long as there's no neighbouring comment with the same prefix). The editor should recognise this when parsing properties files.E.g. the following properties file should show an error about duplicate properties
def
, but notabc
:Current Behaviour With the properties file, above, the editor raises errors for duplicate properties
abc
, and notdef
, because it does not recognise!---
as a document separator, and it does not take notice of the# some comment
line "cancelling" the#---
separator.Context
This causes unnecessary errors to show up in the problems view, and also causes actual errors to not appear.
