include grammars don't load within captures #242

@RedCMD

Description

@RedCMD

Embedded grammars are not loaded from disk when inside a captures rule

If the embedded grammar was pre-loaded by another include in the same grammar
OR loaded via another grammar in another language in another file
then it works as expected

  1. Don't open a file that loads the C grammar
  2. Open a file with the following grammar loaded
  3. notice no syntax highlighting. test(5);

  1. Close the file
  2. Reload VSCode
  3. Open a C file
  4. Reopen the file with the following grammar loaded
  5. notice syntax highlighting now working

{
	"scopeName": "source.capture.load",
	"patterns": [
		{
			"match": ".+",
			"captures": { "0": { "patterns": [ { "include": "source.c" } ] } }
		}
	]
}

from my testing getExternalGrammar() is never run when directly inside captures
