I am getting the following error after the fix here, I would appreciate if you could help

raise source.error("nothing to repeat", re.error: nothing to repeat at position 2

[CosySE]

yes yes is thay \ , i mean me happened the same because that \ the correct way will be (r"^$*\w+\W")
try this \before $

[louislove795]

for anyone who might be confused and is getting

raise source.error("nothing to repeat", re.error: nothing to repeat at position 2

the correction that worked for me was:

var_regex = re.compile(r"^\$*\w+\W")

[John4650-hub]

Thanks alot.

Hey thanks alot. I have been stuck here for 2 days.

[mvx20]

kafa karışmış ve almakta olan herkes için

raise source.error("nothing to repeat", re.error: nothing to repeat at position 2

benim için işe yarayan düzeltmeydi:

var_regex = re.compile(r"^\$*\w+\W")

Thank you so much you saved me from a great search

[rishabh3354]

Fixed in this branch.

Hello ! i tried your solution, it moved my error. I have this issue now : AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'.
I already had this error some time ago, which I solved by modifying the parser.py file is more precisely line 152 =>
func_regex = re.compile(r"function([^)]?\ )")
Do you have any idea why and how to fix this error ? thank you !

[Nefhara]

Update : in my case, i need to change the line 152 ( ? by * ) :
func_regex = re.compile(r"function([^)]?\ )")
by this line
func_regex = re.compile(r"function([^)]*\ )")
Thx arturtamborski (#1199 (comment))

Not sure if this is active or not, but I'm not the smartest with software and would greatly appreciate an explanation, if possible, about why that line would suddenly change. The fix worked for me also, but what confuses me to no end is that it worked earlier this morning.
