@anthonyjvoss Sorry for the delay, could you add Python to the package.json's description and activation events? Thanks! |
Update the package.json file to include Python in the package description as well as the activationEvents array.
|
@chrmarti - I have updated the package.json and pushed the updates to this branch. Thank you for the response. |

A speedy release would be very happy :) |

I realize this shows the code lens above all strings. That seems a bit too much. Is there a way to reduce this to only match actual regular expressions? E.g., by only matching on strings as parameters to re.search and others?

Can you provide a little more detail around what you're seeing and potential drawbacks? This should be providing the same match/highlighting as the other languages.

It seems to match strings that are not used as regular expressions. E.g.:
Since strings are very common this would add a 'Test Regex...' link in many places where it doesn't actually makes sense. (Maybe you disabled code lenses and don't see that.)

Would it be acceptable to change the regex to only match "raw" strings (e.g r"\d{4}-\d{2}")? Sure it's not a perfect solution, as we would miss some simple regexes and also have a bunch of false positives, but if a caveat is added in the doc, it could work.

@anthonyjvoss can you fix this? |
Provide users the ability to use the extension with Python files.
