Syntax seems to break at a certain point

[lichenophile]

Cheers for this neat extension. I'm having some trouble though, I wonder if you could shed some light?

I appears that {} brakets are breaking the syntax coloring

Hi @lichenophile,

I'm unable to replicate that issue here. Are you using VSCode or VSCode Server in HA? Also, do you have any other syntax highlighting plugins that may be causing a conflict?

Hey

I'm using VSCode for windows using Remote SSH.

Using this plugin and HA Config Helper, disabled everything else related (aside from "built-in" features/languages)

I have more precisely noticed ', " or ` following a return wrapped text when within { and } to cause it, though I have noted some instances of code where it works

Simplified code that color breaks:

            state_display: >
              [[[
                if (variables.state === "playing") {
                  return 'Playing';
                }
              ]]]

Rubbish code that formats color correctly despite quotes/backticks:

A colon after the quotes, such as this style of statement (just the colon on its fixes color too)

                if (variables.state === 'playing') {
                  return 'Playing'
                    ? 
                    :  ;
                }

• Removing quotes

            state_display: >
              [[[
                if (variables.state === 'playing') {
                  return Playing;
                }
              ]]]

• any amount of = but not something such as !=

                  return ='Playing';

• a number character

                  return 2`Playing`;

Figured out by breaking down at a few more complex templates that fit the criteria but didn't fail

No idea if this is actually useful info tbh, syntax highlighting (regex?) is a bit above my head

That's very strange, I still can't replicate it on my local copy of the browser version in HA. the only thing I can think that may be causing this is Windows, I'll have to spin up a Virtual Machine and see if I can replicate the issue, I'll let you know what I find.

@lichenophile Just out of interest could you try using >- instead of > proceeding your block string? It might be Windows line breaks causing the issue. Make sure you use semicolons ; at the end of lines strictly if you do this because it will strip out the line breaks from the javascript.
