Vscode-terraform: Broken highlighting with curly brackets

[queglay]

You can see here below 'id' which should be a string, the highlighting persists as a string for the rest of the document.

This is another example of broken syntax highlighting in a different scenario.

Downgrading to 2.1.1 fixes both problems.

I think this is a duplicate of #466 ?

Yes it is! Remove the equal sign after "query" and the highlighting would work instantly - though breaking the code.

These are similar and potentially related, thought this seems to be more about everything following the curly brackets (see the code for locals) while #466 is breaking already within the curly brakets.

Hi, I've had the same issue, and as pointed @queglay, downgrading to 2.1.1 fixed the issue (in my case because using /* as a suffix in the ARN).

The steps that I followed to downgrade (I followed this guide):

1. Download the 2.1.1 manually (click on the link) https://hashicorp.gallery.vsassets.io/_apis/public/gallery/publisher/hashicorp/extension/terraform/2.1.1/assetbyname/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.VSIXPackage
2. Rename the file to use the file extension VSIX only (without Package).
3. In VS Code, open the Command Menu (Cmd + Shift + P on Mac OS X), and search for Install from VSIX and select the file that was downloaded/renamed.

I hope that this helps someone :)

It's a lot easier to just use the built in feature to install previous versions. Simply go to the extensions manager in VS Code, search for the extension, click the cog icon and select "Install another version"

Oh, thanks @ruankr!

I didn't know about this way (actually, it was the first time I needed to install a non-the-last version), but this is pretty easier!

I think this is the same as #466, going to merge them together. We are currently investigating the syntax issues and plan to publish a hotfix once resolved.
