Baselines syntax highlighting

[minor scaffold]

Is there a vscode extension that achieves syntax highlighting of the baseline files?

baseline files?

[minor scaffold]

The baselines of the tests in the typescript codebase.

no clue what kinds of files you are referring to

@minor scaffold you mean the .symbols/.types files?

I'd say grab this, set both file extensions to typescript, and add "typescript.comments.lineComment": "> ",. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ArturoDent.custom-language-syntax

Add this to settings.json

"files.associations": {
  "*.symbols": "typescript",
  "*.types": "typescript",
},

Hmm, I cannot get the extension to overwrite the line comments. Even if I was then it would just be highlighted as a comment - meaning the whole line would be a single color, no?

Also, according to the description of the ext, this will not add additional comment syntax, but rather overwrite it, which is not really desirable as it will remove normal comment syntax from normal .ts files.

Ah rip, I didn't look that far I guess.

Then I guess we'll have to slap together an extension for it

Wonderful! It's so hard finding anything related to "developing typescript", most results are always for "developing in typescript". Thanks! 🙏
