Regex with 'u' flag and escaped special characters can't be parsed

[regseb]

Hi,

Regex with unicode flag and some escaped special characters can't be parsed. For example this regex return "/\./u can't be parsed: invalid Unicode escape \." error :

• /\./u
• /\^/u
• /\$/u
• /\{/u
• /\}/u
• /\]/u

The other special characters work (*, +, ?, (, ), |, [, \).

Hi @regseb thanks for reporting the issue. It's a bit strange, but would you mind opening another one at regexp-tree? This plugin is just a frontend for the library. All the regex parsing logic is there. Once it gets fixed, I'll update the dependency

I open an issue on regexp-tree: DmitrySoshnikov/regexp-tree#162

Thanks.

Hi @regseb thanks for that. I'll keep an eye on it

@regseb I will go ahead and close this now; since the upstream issue does not seem to have any activity
