Broken since last update

[vincent456]

I'm using Visual Studio Code version 1.29.0 and the addon seems to be broken. It used to work very well before. Can anyone confirm or infirm that the addon has broken ?

@vincent456 I'm looking at it :sob:

@vincent456 No issue here (on Javascript files). Can you tell me your configuration and the type of files you are using?

[vincent456]

My versions are : VSCode version 1.29.0 commit 5f24c93878bd4bc645a4a17c620e2487b11005f9 electron 2.0.12 chrome 61.0.3163.100 NodeJS:8.9.3 V8 : 6.1.534.41 architecture x64 latest ubuntu 18.10, everything updated

my settings are

{
    "cmake.configureOnOpen": true,
    "terminal.integrated.rendererType": "dom",
    "editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd",
    "folding": {
        "*": [{
            "begin": "/*",
            "end": "*/"
        },
        {
            "begin":"//region",
            "end":"//endregion"
        }
        ]
    }
}

and I try to appy the custom folds on C++ files (.h,.cc, etc)

[vincent456]

Is there a way to debug these kinds of problems ?

[vincent456]

I got news : the folding region I'm trying to do with the "/" and "/" yeild "syntax error : invalid regular expression "/*//" nothing to repeat"

[daiyam]

Ok, the markers are RegExp. So it should be:

"folding": {
        "*": [{
            "begin": "\\/\\*",
            "end": "\\*\\/"
        },
        {
            "begin":"\\/\\/region",
            "end":"\\/\\/endregion"
        }
        ]
    }

But I have an issue with c++ files. I will try to look into it this week-end. I have to look into VCS and understand what have been changed since my extension hasn't changed...

I have a PR in VCS to allow more flexibility more but right now, it's a dud!

[vincent456]

it's fixed : the extension is using regular expressions, so in order to do "/" I had to do "\/\" instead

[daiyam]

Great! I will update the README to clearly indicate that it's using RegExp.
