dotenv (.env) not supported correctly

[aschmois]

Comments inside of a dotenv file don't wrap correctly. When wrapping a line the # is not added automatically. And sometimes will try to wrap non commented lines as well.

Hi, this should now work correctly if you have a dotenv language extension installed in VSCode, eg mikestead.dotenv (I just tried it myself)

On newest version 1.11.1

Running rewrap on the long line produces:

Running rewrap on the short line produces:

Do you have the mikestead.dotenv extension installed?
Please otherwise go to Help -> Toggle Developer Tools and then the Console, and see if there are any related errors.

Yep

No errors appear when rewrapping.

One note: I am running this through ssh remote workspace. However everything else seems to work fine.

Ok I think that's why it's not finding the extension. Any chance you can test it just locally?

It does work locally, I guess the issue really is on DotENV since it should be an ssh compatible extension like rewrap is. My only concern is that maybe rewrap shouldn't solely rely on other extensions for comment support? Something like DotENV is nice to have for syntax highlighting but I can see a lot of users not installing this extension often since it's not a common ocurrence to edit DotENV files.

Saying that though I haven't looked into the source for rewrap so I can't make assumptions on how it structures what is and what isn't a comment. Any workarounds that you know of or just kind of stuck waiting for DotEnv to support installing into ssh?

On the note of installed extensions, does vscode not abstract away a list of installed extensions regardless if they're loaded on the client or the server it's connected to? I would have thought they merged at one point.

@aschmois VSCode provides a list of installed extensions; and while I'm not certain, I think that for extensions installed on the server the list would be only the other extensions installed on the server.

Even if it were for all extensions, Rewrap needs access to the Dotenv extension's files, which it won't have if it's installed on the server and the Dotenv extension on the client.

However thankfully I think the problem has been easily solved by declaring Rewrap as a UI extension (#231), so it shouldn't be installed on the server in the first place. This change is in the next version (and the current beta version).

Fixed in v1.14.0
