Cannot evaluate regex

[patrickpichler]

I encountered a strange bug with some regex.

When trying to evaluate the following form, I get no result, nor any logs.

  (re-seq #"(?:((\d+|(?!no)\w{2,})) )?(\w+ \w+) bags" "drab coral bags contain no other bags.")

Note: When selecting the line in visual mode and pressing \E I get a result.

I'm running neovim 0.4.4 and conjure 4.9.0

Hmm I'll investigate! Not sure why this would happen, Conjure doesn't care about the code, it just grabs strings and sends them off to the nREPL, so it's probably something surprising and maybe unrelated to Conjure but worth getting to the bottom to.

Oh yeah, I can repro! I have a hunch it's to do with the paren matching / searching, I think I need to add a special case for regex that contain parens like I do strings. I thought they'd be under the same part of the nvim syntax tree but I guess not!

Should be alleviated / fixed on develop 🙂

It still behaves weird if you try to eval from within the parens inside the regex, maybe that can be improved, although I think this allows you to eval commented out forms if you need to, which is kinda useful?

Thanks for the fast response!

I will give the develop branch a shot.

Closing because I think this should be enough for now, further improvements to not getting confused by parens in strings will come with tree-sitter soon (tm).
