Description
Bug Description:
Diagnostics generated by custom problemMatchers are displayed correctly in the problem view but cannot be retrieved programmatically with vscode api:
vscode.languages.getDiagnostics()
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a workspace
- Create tasks.json in '.theia' folder at root level with task and command that should generate a diagnostic entry something like:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "shell",
"label": "echo error",
"command": "echo",
"args": ["src/main.c:6:11: error: expected ';' before '}' token"],
"problemMatcher": {
"label": "matcher test",
"name": "matcher-test",
"source": "matcher-test",
"pattern": {
"regexp": "^(.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s+(warning|error|note):\\s+(.*)$",
"file": 1,
"line": 2,
"column": 3,
"severity": 4,
"message": 5
}
}
},
]
}
If contributing with a command as of a vscode extension, the following:
vscode.languages.getDiagnostics();
will not return the diagnostic for the corresponding file entry.
This is probably the root cause of the error lens extension not reflecting diagnostics from a problemMatcher contribution (confirmed this is working as expected in vscode)
