The vertical pipe character
|is neither reserved nor unreserved under RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifiers and therefore it cannot appear within a URI.However,
linkComputer.tsdoes not list the vertical pipe character underFORCE_TERMINATION_CHARACTERS.This makes VSCode's link-opening feature unusable in some circumstances since the vertical bar gets erroneously included in the URL, rendering it invalid. See #225513 for one example.
Note that this issue was reported earlier in #86358, and fixed improperly in this commit.
This pull request adds the vertical bar to the
FORCE_TERMINATION_CHARACTERS, fixing the issue. It also reverts the change made in the other commit.Testing
See the test case provided in #225513. After this commit VSCode behaves correctly.
Closes #225513
