Improper syntax highlighting of shell aliases in v1.75

[fabiospampinato]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: v1.75.0
• OS Version: 12.5.1

Steps to Reproduce:

alias brew_list="brew leaves"
alias brew-list="brew leaves"

As you can see aliases are syntax-highlighted differently depending on if there's an hyphen or an underscore in them, which looks like a bug to me.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.75.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

I read the version number wrong.

Can confirm it working correctly in 1.72.2
but has been broken in 1.75.0

This one doesn't appear to be fixed with the latest out of https://github.com/jeff-hykin/better-shell-syntax. Copied the issue there: jeff-hykin/better-shell-syntax#37

Assigning to the February milestone so I remember to check back in and see if this has been fixed.
