Issue Description

The Textmate scopes or token is wrong on negative numeric literals

image

Working behavior

Non-parameters, and positive numbers are okay

textmate_scopes-example1

Expected Behaviour

To share similar tokens/scopes

To reproduce

It seems to occur when:

  1. it's a negative numeric literal (int, or decimal)
  2. it's a parameter
  3. the parameter type doesn't matter

Code used:

function DoNothing {
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory, Position = 0)]
        [int]$Number
    )
}
function DoMoreNothing {
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory, Position = 0)]
        [string]$Text
    )
}

$x = 6                                               ; $x
$x = -6
DoNothing -6
DoNothing 6
DoNothing -Number 6
DoNothing -Number -6
DoMoreNothing -Text 6
DoMoreNothing -Text -6

    Rob Holt (@rjmholt) I'm unclear, is this a semantic highlighting issue, or an editor syntax grammar issue?

    Andy Jordan (@andschwa) It looks like

    • the textmate scope is right
    • the semantic scope is overriding it as a function
    • If I wrap it as (-6), it gets the expected semantic scope

    I created a new image that's more clear.

    Technically negative numeric constants as an argument are considered unquoted text by the PS tokenizer (as indicated by PSReadLine highlighting). So the TextMate scope is wrong. But the sematic highlighter is no better, as 'function' is definitely not the right scope. Neither of these things are what the OP wants to hear.

    This is a very important demonstration.

    Echo -0006

    outputs

    -0006
    

    but

    echo (-0006)

    outputs

    -6

    Actually, I give a bad example with 'echo' (Write-Output) because the output processor (formatter) just provides the original text behind the argument, so:

    echo 0006

    results in

    0006
    

    This provides a more meaningful demonstration:

    (echo 0006).GetType().Name
    (echo -0006).GetType().Name
    (echo (-0006)).GetType().Name

    which results in

    Int32
    String
    Int32
