@tr is not recognized in syntax

[kroltan]

• Plugin version 1.2.0
• RustRover 2024.2.1
• Slint 1.7.2

The @tr("Some text") syntax is not recognised, issuing errors in the code analysis panel. The actual markup seems to survive mostly fine, but the property that uses that directive is not highlighted with the usual color.

Text {
    font-weight: Style.bold-weight;
    text: @tr("Settings");
}

The error tooltip reads:

<expression> or '=' expected, got '@'

While I only reported this now, it's been happening for the couple months I've been using this plugin (which is awesome! thank you for your work), so it's not related to the Slint 1.8 release.

Fixed in version 1.3.0. Please check.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! It's mostly working, but looks like there's still some cases it's not recognising syntax that Slint itself accepts:

ready-text: up-to-date
    ? @tr("Up-to-date: {}", current-version)
    : humanized-ready-size;

Reports 2 errors:

• <builtin functions>, <expression> or '=' expected, got 'up-to-date' in the space after the colon and the start of the condition expression;
• invalid expression in the colon of the else-clause.

If I erase the current-version parameter, I get a different error Format string contains 1 placeholders, but only 0 extra arguments were given at the @, and if I then erase the curly braces so it looks like @tr("Up-to-date") there is no error.

If the @tr is in the else-clause, then there is no error.

Also I just noticed a similar inconsistency in available syntax with the @linear-gradient builtin:

background: @linear-gradient(
    0,
    gradient-steps()[0] 50%,
    gradient-steps()[1] 70%
);

If I use the indexing expression like that, I get the error 'linear-gradient' unexpected just after the @ sign.

If I use a simpler expression like gradient-from() for the color field, then it accepts the syntax. This is not a problem for me since I didn't like the array solution very much anyways, but might hint there's something more generally funny going on.

If it helps you debug, the code I'm looking at is open-source. (The linear-gradient thing is on the ./button.slint file)
