Dylan Language Support on VSCode

[Gareth Baker - UKRI STFC]

I’ve been editing Dylan files in VSCode and I tried the Extension that is available.

 

Out of the box it does not work but after a bit of trial and error and some searching, it turns out that it seems to be quite easy to fix.

 

Locally, I converted the two tmLanguage files in the syntaxes folder to json format (using a convert facility in the TextMate Language extension), updated the package file and bingo – it works.

 

How easy is it to get the master changed?

Was the code from this repo:

https://github.com/dylan-lang/dylan-syntax-support

used to generate the .tmLanguage file in the VScode extension (https://github.com/dylan-lang/vscode-dylan)?

I use and like vscode; it would be great in the future if Dylan had an implementation of the language server protocol, but that is a big project for sure.

I cloned the vscode-dylan extension git repository - It's that code that I started with, not the dylan-syntax-support one.

Hope fully you should have 3 pull requests - more hopefully, I've done it correctly :-)

I've figured out how to publish again ... and I've published a 0.2.0 version with your changes.

Looks good! I filed an issue (sorry) https://github.com/dylan-lang/vscode-dylan/issues/4

Finally got round to having a look at this.In the area of the file Pete suggested looking in the filed issue.

I think the end: regex string is incorrect matching BeginOfLine and either \t or \v

I changed it locally to "^|\\s*|$" to match BeginOfLine or spaces or EndOfLine. This seems to fix Pete's example.

I'll do a bit more testing and then issue a Pull request.

I did notice a bit further down and end: clause "(?!\\G)" - not sure where you would want to capture "MatchOnlyIfNotFollowedBy G"
