Required information for this issue:
- Your VS Code Version: 1.96.2
- Your OS Version: Windows 11 23H2
- Is this extension running on VS Code Remote or https://vscode.dev: No
Steps to Reproduce:
- Use the sample file below
Snippet of note:
upstream big_server_com {
server 127.0.0.3:8000 weight=5;
server 127.0.0.3:8001 weight=5;
server 192.168.0.1:8000;
server 192.168.0.1:8001;
}
VS Code doesn't properly highlight the line after a parameter is used:

I think what is happening is that on the final group of the regex on this line, the semicolon punctuation is being captured and then not being parsed as punctuation.

match: /(?:^|\s)(weight|max_conn|max_fails|fail_timeout|slow_start)(=)(\d[\d\.]*[bBkKmMgGtTsShHdD]?)(?:\s|;|$)/, |
(Same line but in the XML)
|
<string>(?:^|\s)(weight|max_conn|max_fails|fail_timeout|slow_start)(=)(\d[\d\.]*[bBkKmMgGtTsShHdD]?)(?:\s|;|$)</string> |
You can see it work correctly if you add a space before the semicolon like this:
server 127.0.0.3:8001 weight=5 ; # <-- notice added space here
server 192.168.0.1:8000;

This can be fixed by changing the final group from being a non-capturing group to a lookahead.
Current final group: (?:\s|;|$)
As a lookahead: (?=\s|;|$) (notice the = instead of :)
I can open a pull request for this if you'd like.
