Create LICENSE with AL2 doesn't replace author name and date. #86

Closed jmhodges closed 4 years ago

jmhodges commented 4 years ago

Runtime environment

You can confirm installed extensions by calling "Extensions: Show Installed Extensions", or just click extensions tab in the case you are using VS Code 1.3+.

Behaviors

Expected behavior

Creating a LICENSE with Create LICENSE file with AL2 set in the settings should replace the Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner] with the current year and the name of the author. This happens even after reloading the window.

Actual behavior

The line Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner] remains as it is in the template.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Select AL2 in the User settings of the licenser extension
  2. Add a name as the author in the User settings.
  3. Reload the window
  4. Run Create LICENSE file.

As commented in #87, the part you mention is the license header template in Appendix, which is expected.
