Editor highlight colors not shown

[Zorgatone]

I found out that the old todo tree repo wasn't maintaned while I was looking at this issue: Gruntfuggly#898

I seem to also have the highlight color issue happening with Better Todo Tree (version 1.1.20) on VSCodium Version: 1.121.03429

Can this be looked at? It seemed to me like a pretty basic but really vital feature of the plugin (the panel with all todos is also great, but the inline highlight in code is a must IMO)

Let me go ahead and reproduce on my machine to identify the issues; Could you please share your settings and exact scenario(s) in order for me to reproduce exactly? Thank you! ☺️

Is it complaining about "ripgrep" not being found? There was a new VSCode release that broke this and the old extension.

btw @FanaticPythoner, if you need to fix internal ripgrep not being detected, try copying vscode's lookup

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/c2e11bc92fcbeeb0bd150da96a4a441bf5f32cbe/src/vs/base/node/ripgrep.ts#L8-L15

nvm it was fixed already by f05cc09

My user settings are just {} so no overridden options from the default ones, I believe the highlight is turned on by default?
I tried to change settings to turn it on or off but didn't really see a difference

  "better-todo-tree.highlights.enabled": true,
  "better-todo-tree.highlights.useColourScheme": true,

[Zorgatone]

Ah also I have a ripgrep installed with homebrew but I don't think it's relevant here, the default settings will use the default built-in ripgrep right? I can see the todo comments in the sidebar panel / tree just fine, only the highlights are missing in VSCodium text editor (possibly VSCode too? I didn't check that one)

it should be.

Do you have the TODO listed in the tree view?

if not, please try setting better-todo-tree.regex.regex to (//|#|<!--|;|/\*|^|^[ \t]*(-|\d+.))\s*($TAGS)

[Zorgatone]

Yes I can see the TODOs in the tree view, I mentioned that

[Abrifq]

Oh sorry about that.

I don't see any other issues then.

[Zorgatone]

I don't see any other issues then.

you mean apart from the original issue of the highlighting?

I checked on regular Visual Studio Code and the highlighting works with both the old Todo Tree and the new Better Todo Tree.
So the issue seems to only be on VSCodium

@FanaticPythoner @Abrifq can it still be looked at to support VSCodium?

[Abrifq]

I am busy in weekdays but I'll try to give it a look on Sunday.

I am on official VSCode (1.123.0) and I can get neither to highlight properly (the TODOs still show on the sidebar and status bar).
