I'm slightly confused - the screenshot shows syntax colouring?

If code completion isn't working correctly, please put the cursor somewhere you'd expect to get completion, then run the Dart: Capture Logs command and select the "Analysis Server" category then while logging press Ctrl+Space to trigger code completion, then provide the log.

Also worth checking Help -> Toggle Developer Tools to see if any errors are listed in the console.

DanTup on 22 Aug 2018

The answer was that VS Code Preferences -> Color Theme controls the syntax coloring, so different themes change from mostly white like the screenshot above to more language elements with color.

How do you get TODO: to show up in problems ?

j-hansen on 29 Aug 2018

Yeah, I think one of the Dark themes is mostly white; I use the other one.

TODOs should be shown by default (the dart.showTodos setting controls this).

If this isn't working, it's worth capturing an analysis server log to see what's going on at startup.

TODOs aren't showing up for me either. I'm capturing the analysis server log but I don't see anything that hints at the problem. All I see is when I typed in TODO: foo but no actual analysis event occurs. Is there anything specific I should look for in there?

PeteJodo on 10 Oct 2018

When you type a TODO, it should be sent back from the server as a diagnostic:

[07:42:52] <== {"event":"server.status","params":{"analysis":{"isAnalyzing":true}}}
[07:42:52] <== {"event":"analysis.errors","params":{"file":"/Users/dantup/Dev/lsp_spec_parser/bin/main.dart","errors":[{"severity":"INFO","type":"TODO","location":{"file":"/Users/dantup/Dev/lsp_spec_parser/bin/main.dart","offset":556,"length":12,"startLine":17,"startColumn":4},"message":"TODO: Fix me","code":"todo","hasFix":false}]}}
[07:42:52] <== {"event":"server.status","params":{"analysis":{"isAnalyzing":false}}}

There's a setting to control whether this is displayed (dart.showTodo) but it should always come back from the server even with this disabled (it gets filtered out client side).

Can you try reproducing in a trivial app and attach the server log? How are you typing the TODO? (even just // TODO should be enough). Are there any errors in the console (Help -> Toggle Dev Tools)?

DanTup on 10 Oct 2018

I'm just getting

[12:44:36 AM]: <== {"event":"analysis.errors","params":{"file":"/home/pete/projects/test_flutter_todo/lib/main.dart","errors":[]}}

and I even set dart.showTodos into my user settings as true rather than relying on the default's true, and as expected, that didn't fix anything. I've tried // TODO and // TODO: foo as well as the same in lowercase and within differing comments like doc comments.

No errors in the console.log either, just a seemingly irrelevant warning Overwriting grammar scope name to file mapping for scope source.js. and INFO no standard startup: panel is active

PeteJodo on 11 Oct 2018

I don't know how the extension works so I'm 90% sure I'm looking at this wrong, but in https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code/blob/master/src/extension.ts#L74 showTodos doesn't even look like it's ever getting consumed. I have to be missing something. I got there looking for what I should be passing to dartanalyzer in the flutter sdk which I couldn't get to return any todo info directly either

PeteJodo on 11 Oct 2018

@PeteJodo Could you attach a full analysis server log of reproing this with a small example?

Create a tiny sample folder with a single Dart script (without a TODO)
Set the logging path linked above
Restart VS Code and and open the folder
Type a TODO in there
Take a copy of the log file
(then remove the log setting and restart VS Code)

showTodos doesn't even look like it's ever getting consumed

The server doesn't support filtering TODOs so we have to do it client side. The server will (should) always send them, and if you don't have that setting set, they'll be filtered out here:

https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code/blob/dcb1638292f8d2188ad83b7e69a1673d9afcde66/src/providers/dart_diagnostic_provider.ts#L17-L18

The code in extension.ts is just to force a reanalyzer (so the above code runs again) if the setting is changed.

Steps I took:

Created the dart_temp folder
Set the dart.analyzerLogFile setting
Created the temp.dart file
Typed // TODO and saved

@PeteJodo Do you have an anaysis_options.yaml file? Looks like it may possible to toggle TODOs coming back in there too:

https://www.dartlang.org/guides/language/analysis-options#the-analysis-options-file

DanTup on 15 Oct 2018

@DanTup added the analysis_options.yaml which made it work! Thanks! The contents were

analyzer:
  errors:
    todo: info

I'm curious if that overrides some default config though?

PeteJodo on 16 Oct 2018

I thought the default was to show them. Do you have any analysis_options.yaml file in an ancestor folder that might be affecting it?

DanTup on 16 Oct 2018

I do not, the folder is at the top of my Projects directory and none was created in that directory or my home directory. Is there any way to determine which analysis_options.yaml file, if any, the server is using?

Ok, by coincidence another issue came up recently that I think explains this:

1257

The reason I couldn't repro is that I tried in a Dart project and you're in Flutter. Flutter has its own default analysis_options.yaml:

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter/lib/analysis_options_user.yaml

And it includes this:

    # allow having TODOs in the code
    todo: ignore

So, I think this is working as intended as far as Flutter is concerned, though I think it's a little confusing/unfortunate that Dart/Flutter projects have different defaults (cc @devoncarew - is this something we might want to change?).

For now, having an analysis_options.yaml file should help (if it's completely empty, I think it'll still work, since that'll cause the Flutter one to be ignored - though that will include all those lint options too).

It does seem overly prescriptive - I'll try and figure out why this is here. Mostly likely just a copy paste from the flutter repo's options?

@devoncarew Thanks!

With https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/23274 open to prevent hiding TODOs by default in Flutter, I think all the issues mentioned here are resolved so I'm gonna close this. If anyone still has problems (besides waiting for that fix), please open new issues.

Dart-code: Extension doesn't show syntax colors or detect TODO, etc. but otherwise works
