Extension causing exception in VS2017

Postby metal450 » April 1st, 2018, 5:17 am

Using PHP Tools in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise, I'm constantly getting "An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension." Here's what the dialog looks like: https://www.screencast.com/t/GRLwSHmh

It pops up when pasting in a simple single line of code. Simple as in... $var = "text";

The relevant entry in ActivityLog.xml is:

Code: Select all
<entry>
    <record>681</record>
    <time>2018/04/01 05:07:34.524</time>
    <type>Error</type>
    <source>Editor or Editor Extension</source>
    <description>System.InvalidOperationException: Document is malformed.

  </entry>


The relevant section of code (around line 1132) is a mix of PHP & javascript, something like:

Code: Select all
function exampleFunc( $someCode )
{
?>

        FB.api('/me/permissions', function(response)
        {
            <?php echo $someCode;?>
        });
<?php
}


The line of code that I'm pasting in when the exception pops up is nowhere near this block; i.e. if I just paste in a simple line way at the beginning of the file, it still throws up the exception.

...Also, I'm not sure if this is related but I'm guessing it is, it keeps messing up all the formatting in my php document, seemingly without logic or warning. Like I'll paste a line of PHP, and all of a sudden half the document will have reformatted itself. It looks like it's usually removing whitespace or newlines - but not just around the paste, all over the document. For example, I might have:

<div />
<?php /*some php*/ ?>


Then I'll paste something elsewhere in the document (hundreds of lines away), and this will suddenly become:
<div /><?php /*some php*/ ?>


I just lost like 3 hours of development work because upon checking the diffs before committing to git, I discovered that like 80% of the lines had changed. It was impossible to figure out where the actual relevant work was, so I pretty much just had to do it over again. Then partway through doing so, I realized what had happened: I can't ever copy/paste, as whenever I do it takes it upon itself to reformat all the code.

Addendum: I tried disabling everything under Options->Text Editor->PHP->Formatting->General. That made it stop reporting the exception, but it still persists silently reformatting the whole document whenever I paste. Basically, making the addon unusable... :(
