Bug in the js code editor: brackets correctly ignored in /* */ comments but not in // comments

[DhyanMikael]

The js code editor has a great feature which highlights corresponding brackets {()}

If a comment section /…/ contains brackets, they are - correctly - ignored in the bracket analysis.

However, if a single line comment is used with //, then brackets contained in the comment are - incorrectly - accounted for in the bracket analysis.

For instance, this code

function test(){
    alert("test");
    /* this bracket is ignored correctly: } */
}

highlights the function brackets {} correctly, while this code:

function test(){
    alert("test");
    // this bracket is - incorrectly - NOT ignored : }
}

highlights the bracket } in the comment line as closing bracket of the function.

Hi Mikael,

It is working correctly on my test site. Can you share a page url where this issue happens so we can investigate further?

Hi Lely,

thank you for getting back to me.

Please log into https://alimaarden.live-website.com/ and look at Footer “Test Footer”. There I pasted the test code into the js page. See login credentials in my secure note below.

This is how it looks for me:

When cursor is at last closing bracket, it is shown in red because editor thinks it is without corresponding opening bracket:

When cursor is at opening bracket in the second test function, it shows the closing bracket in the comment line as corresponding closing bracket:

Hi Mikael,

Thanks for pointing it out. The code is actually still read as a comment which is working correctly it’s just that the using the single line comment does not get the same formatting in the code editor.

I have already added this to our issue tracker so that our developers will be aware of it.

Thank you.
