"Repetition" extension failing?

[daobrien]

I'm trying to use the repetition extension but even when I use example configs (https://docs.errata.ai/vale/styles#repetition) Vale doesn't return any errors.

My test file is very basic ("This is text text.") but no errors are reported. Same happens when the repeated word is mid-sentence.

Any suggestions? Thanks

vale version 2.15.5

The problem is the punctuation at the end of "text."; in other words, "text" != "text." You can ignore this kind of difference by adjusting the pattern, for example:

extends: repetition
message: "'%s' is repeated!"
level: error
alpha: true
tokens:
  - '[^\s.!?,]+'

Thank you for that. I also found something else I was doing wrong. Because this is a new category of styles I'm starting, I hadn't included it in the BasedOnStyles directive in the .ini file. :(

Works fine now. Thanks again.
