Why does the UUID comment go red

Classic Servoy
1

I have a disconcerting problem in my solution where in the method editor and calculation editor, the normally green comments characters go red (and commented out code becomes normally coloured) in some of my methods. It doesn’t seem to affect the solution. I can’t find any documentation on what it means or what if anything I need to do to fix it.

Thanks for any ideas on what is probably a stupid problem.

It sounds like something in your code is messing up the code coloring.
What version of Servoy are you on?

Does it happen for the entire methods or does it start somewhere in the middle?

Can you post (screenshots of) your methods?

Hi Bevil,

which version of Servoy is this? v4.1.3. has an issue with code colouring when using an odd number of ‘/’ characters.
so: if you’d divide 2 values in your code, all the remainder of the code will colour strange / behave strange in terms of hyperlinks to vars/methods/etc.

The workaround is to complete the number of ‘/’ characters until they’re even again.

So this will mess up the code:

var x = y/10;

Workaround:

var x = y/10;///

This issue is solved in v4.1.4.

Hope this helps
