I discovered a problem today in VA Outline that I believe is a bug. I'm using a string format expression in C# that appears to cause problems with parsing the code file. The result is that any methods after the method that contains the expression do not appear in the outline.

I created a simple console app that replicates the issue. It builds and runs but the outline does not display Method2. Here it is:


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace TestConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TestClass tc = new TestClass();
            tc.Method1(2017, 1);
        }
    }

    class TestClass
    {
        public TestClass()
        {
        }

        public void Method1(int DatabaseYear, int DatabaseMonth)
        {
            string fileName = "test";
            string folder = "testFolder";
            string errorMessage = "Failed to copy";

            // this is the line
            string s = $"Error while copying {fileName} to {Path.Combine(folder, $"Data{DatabaseYear}{DatabaseMonth:D2}01.dat")}. {errorMessage}";
            Console.WriteLine(s);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        private void Method2()
        {

        }
    }
}



Here's my version information:

Thank you for the very clear example, having working code that shows the problem always makes things easier to test :) I am seeing the same problem here:

case=104114

It's not just VA Outline that is having a problem here, it is also showing up in the Alt-M list and colouring. I had to look up the $"" syntax to see what it was doing. For now, if you don't have to many of these lines, turning them back into String.Format calls should fix this, but this will require changing your code to work around this problem.
