Subject: [ruby-core:47441] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5024] ruby-mode.el syntax highlighting breaks on regular expression with quotes


Issue #5024 has been updated by dgutov (Dmitry Gutov).


This is kinda-fixed in the Emacs trunk, provided that "method" is one of the names in the list `ruby-syntax-methods-before-regexp`.
Otherwise, the whole regexp literal isn't recognized in the first example. It should be obvious, the string-like highlighting would only start after the " character.

Bug #5024: ruby-mode.el syntax highlighting breaks on regular expression with quotes

I am using 1.9.2-p160 revision 29036

If there are an odd number of quotation marks inside a regular expression, the syntax highlighting breaks, continuing the regular expression color until another quotation mark is found.

method /^"([^"]*)"$/ do |arg|
# continues regular expression syntax color until quotation is matched

Syntax continues to work correctly with parentheses around the method, such as
method(/^"([^"]*)"$/) do |arg|

Searching led me to a related bug that was fixed: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4242
