      19 or 58, nothing works. Where can I find a corrected functionList.xml?

        There are two different files named functionList.xml. One is in Program Files (x86)\Notepad++. The other is in User\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++.

        The latter one is much bigger and more comprehensive, and by default, uses 58 for the association ID. This file also has the apparently incorrect statement “Don’t use L_JS (19) use L_JAVASCRIPT (58) instead!”

        When I change the association to 19, the function list works!

          depending on your configuration whether to use %APPDATA% configuration or not the respective
          functionlist gets loaded. I’m still confused that your saying that after changing the id it is working for you.
          Could it be that you use an embedded js version as in html?

          Cheers

            No, I am using straight-up JS files, Claudia.

              ok - I can confirm. After complete deinstall and a wiping of all files and folders in
              my installation directory and under %APPDATA% (which I thought I never used)
              I reinstalled npp7.2.2. 32bit. Now I have the same behavior. The reason why it was working before is that I run into the doLocalConf bug.
              I can’t say which version started ignoring the file but it seems 7.2.2 is doing it.
              So @MAPJe71 was completely correct and I have to apologize.

              Cheers

                @MAPJe71 said:

                Notepad++ should assign the “L_JAVASCRIPT” language ID (= 58) to JavaScript files. It appears to assign the “old” language ID “L_JS” (= 19).

                @donho is this a regression or am I missing something?

                – Ver 7.4.1 32bits. for me the problem is still here. so I patched again my functionList.xml

                  Hi @all,

                  I also found a bug in the regular expression of the JavaScript parser for matching the pattern of a function header. If between the function name and the left parenthesis of the parameter list have been inserted one or more blanks the parser failed to find the function header.

                  Npp version

                  v7.4.1, 32 bit

                  File

                  C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\functionList.xml
                  copied to
                  C:\Users<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\functionList.xml

                  Corrected JavaScript parser

                  <parser
                  	displayName="JavaScript"
                  	id         ="javascript_function"
                  	commentExpr="(?s:/\*.*?\*/)|(?m-s://.*?$)"
                  >
                  	<function
                  		mainExpr="((^|\s+|[;\}\.])([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|^|[\s;\}]+)\s*function(\s+[A-Za-z_]?\w*\s*\([^\)\(]*\)|\([^\)\(]*\))[\n\s]*\{"
                  	>
                  		<functionName>
                  			<nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|[A-Za-z_]?\w*\s*\(" />
                  			<nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]?\w*" />
                  		</functionName>
                  		<className>
                  			<nameExpr expr="([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\." />
                  			<nameExpr expr="([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*" />
                  		</className>
                  	</function>
                  </parser>
                  

                  The bug was located in the value of mainExpr.

                    I improved the parser for Inno Setup scripts too. Now it is also able to find procedures as well as functions/procedures with no or an empty parameter list. Furthermore forward declarations are no longer matched.

                      doesn’t work anymore for 7.4.2, why is this even an issue? this is the most basic ui test possible, very disappointing. But looking at the “new” xml structure, no wonder people have problems navigating to this custom xml interpretation.
                      Switching ID to 19, even though a random comment says not to, fixed this for me…

                            Notepad++ uses the commentExpr to determine which parts of the text to skip when searching for classes, methods and/or functions.
                            “Embedded” comments are not supported.

                                C# function list fix for v7.4.2
                                Basically copy the function section inside classRange and paste it at the same level of classRange.

                                  Thank you for the explanation about comment handling. Of course I assumed Notepad++ would strip comments lexically, replacing them by an empty string, and only then apply mainExpr, but it seems not to be the case.

                                  For my situation and needs I prefer to disable commentExpr at all, and do the other minor improvements written in my comments. I do get all functions, and do not get false functions. Reasoning, I do not have functions inside comments, and I do not place comments in function headers except between ) and { . Besides that, functions temporarely commented out, may still count as functions.
                                  At least the <parser> above is a partial proposal to my and other’s issues.

                                  By the way do you have an idea how to remove the mis-written earlier posts. I was not fluent with this BB and with markup language, and is there a preview?

                                    how to remove the mis-written earlier posts

                                    Use delete in the three-dots menu right next to ^ 0 v .

                                    is there a preview?

                                    As soon as you hit reply to open the edit pane you get either a preview pane on the right or a show preview option in the top right corner of the edit pane.

                                      I’m only allowed to delete within 180 seconds. And today I get the preview, but yesterday there was none (preview availability depends on browser window width) . The BB is not easy but I’m motivated.

                                      About the issue, I propose to disable commentExpr because of the following cases:

                                      function setdata(x,y,z,w) // set coordinates x y z w

                                      function setdata(x,y,z,w) /* set coordinates x y z w */

                                      Functionlist will detect the function if there are two spaces between ) and the comment, but will not detect the function if there is just one space. My mainExpr as above given, stops after ) and does not eat one space.

                                          i have problem too with Javascript functionList. I change the langID=58 (L_JAVASCRIPT) to langID=19 (L_JS) at :

                                          <association id= “javascript_function” langID=“19” />

                                          and it work verywell.

                                            This was bothering me for a while - turns out that even though I tick “don’t use roaming profiles” when installing, it still does so.
                                            And the old config file was from 2016. So I simply copied the new version over from the notepad install dir and everything is OK now!
