Incorrectly flags string decorator
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Another P8 language server plugin has a similar problem.
Zep added string decorators, one of which is the combination \^
The use of this decorator causes this plugin to complain
SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence
Thanks for reporting!
This has to do with the underlying parser (pico8parse) which poorly handles P8SCII.
In this case, \^
requires a command character.
print("\^")
will raise the SyntaxError you saw, but for example print("\^1")
shouldn't.
I'll either update pico8parse properly, or remove checking for escape correctness altogether...
Well, I didn't put the full string I was using down, but I wasn't trying to print just the raw \^
without the command characters.
For example, with "one off characters" like the cat example Zep gives
print("\^:447cb67c3e7f0106")
, this will raise the SyntaxError.
This should be "fixed" in 0.0.5 (ie. it no longer complains).
