1. When declaring multi-line imports, pay attention to where you place opening/closing brackets or parentheses.
The extension will skip over multi-line imports that don't use the correct bracket placement.
Examples of incorrect bracket placement are shown below:
Incorrect bracket placement:
//JavaScript/TypeScript
import // <-- Nothing comes after the import statement
{ // <--- This bracket placement is not currently supported
something,
somethingElse,
anotherThing
} from 'somewhere';Correct bracket placement:
//JavaScript/TypeScript
import { // <-- Correct bracket placement
something,
somethingElse,
anotherThing
} from 'somewhere';Same goes for Python:
Incorrect bracket placement:
#Python
from library import (
something,
somethingElse,
anotherThing ) # <-- Incorrect bracket placementCorrect bracket placement:
#Python
from library import (
something,
somethingElse,
anotherThing
) # <-- Correct bracket placementEnjoy!
