command list-highlighted-annotations doesn't work

[DanielJoyce]

I have todos and fixmes in my code, and they are highlighted properly. But when I try and list them from the command pallette, it says none were found

More info is needed.
One possible reason I can think of is that the count of files within your project exceeded the limit of this extension.
Try tune the todohighlight.maxFilesForSearch configuration.

Hi, I'm having the same issue (I set todohighlight.maxFilesForSearch: 512000). The command starts ok and goes really fast to 99% and then stays there forever. I 'm not seeing any output either:

I wonder if this still exists in the latest version.

[haolly]

@wayou Yes, it's still exists in the lastest version, 0.5.3

@wayou I see a similar symptom in a simplified reproduction. The List Highlighted Annotations command doesn't stop at 99% as mentioned above, but does fail to return any results. The status bar shows '0', and when clicked Info: No results is shown.

Image of installed extensions, and VSCode version. The settings.json file is all defaults.

Upon clicking the List annotations icon in status bar:

I'm having the same issue on VS Code 1.13.1
I've tried with a project of only one file and it also does not work.
Is there any fix for this?

UPDATE: It works in a javascript project, but not on a python one.

[Overboard]

Ah! I just noticed there's no *.py in the defaults for "todohighlight.include".
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, @csbatista

For me, the list only works for "ALL". If I choose "TODO:" or "FIXME:", it shows an info message that says "No results".

[wayou]

@DanielJoyce what's your configuration?

i got the same problem when i tried to list highlights in files with the filetype .vba and add that to "todohighlight.include". it highlights both keywords as it should but listing is gives back zero results. is there a limitation on which languages the extension works?

example comment would be: ' TODO: Test Discount Features

[wayou]

erm...I bet this's been solved in the new version.
waiting anyone to confirm and feedback.

Using VS Code 1.25.1

In my minimal testing, this is working for List annotations in current file...

However, when selecting List all annotations... it is not finding any regardless of what I choose. The output shows "Searched 12 file(s), found 0 annotation(s)." which is wrong since I have many more than 12 files. The only setting I've overridden is the following

"todohighlight.exclude": [
    "**/node_modules/**",
    "**/bower_components/**",
    "**/dist/**",
    "**/build/**",
    "**/.vscode/**",
    "**/.github/**",
    "**/_output/**",
    "**/*.min.*",
    "**/*.map",
    "**/.next/**",
    "**/out/**"
  ]

Also, despite enabling todohighlight.toggleURI as instructed, the links are still not clickable.

After looking at the Developer Tools console, I found that it encountered an error when trying to read a .png file and probably stopped there. I added "**/*.png" to the todohighlight.exclude array in my settings and it seems to have fixed the issue for me. Although there are surely other file types might cause this issue.

[wayou]

after v1.0.0 all file types are include by default and none support binary file will be skipped.
but the error I still print it out.
so basically if you are using the latest version of this extension, the png wont stop the searching process.

[KamasamaK]

I am using v1.0.0. I updated before testing.

UPDATE: Actually, it was v1.0.1

[wayou]

The output shows "Searched 12 file(s), found 0 annotation(s)." which is wrong since I have many more than 12 files.

note that the git ignored files (defined in .gitignore) will not be include .

ok, i will look into a bit further.

[KamasamaK]

This is not what caused the issue, but is good to know nonetheless. This should be documented in the README and should probably have a setting.

I even don't know after debugging with the api vscode.workspace.findFiles. So it's the the api behavior and I think it's reasonable.

Same issue here. Installed it today, the links are not clickable.

Edit: never mind, they are. You just have to hold Ctrl when left clicking! Silly me.
