PeopleCode Color Coding for Comments


If you are PeopleSoft Developer you must have noticed this annoying bug which was introduced in PT 8.56. As you can see in the screenshot below, the color coding for comments (green) does not work anymore for multi-line comments!

Demo of the Problem

We can see from the demo video that it is easy to get lost while reading/writing PeopleCode without proper color coding for comments.


Workaround

A colleague at work showed me a trick to force the color coding in PT 8.56 to workaround the original problem. Simply add a SPACE after /* or <*.

PeopleTools 8.57

I can confirm that this bug is fixed in PT 8.57.01!
