This is a quick post with a workaround to a bug in VS Code that occurs when you use string with @$
– the verbatim character and the interpolation characters.
If you have a piece of code that looks like this –
string text = @$"any text as long as there is a new line /*";
Everything that comes after it will look commented out, like so –
This is a bit annoying because all coloring is lost below that /*
.
You might not have hit this, but if start using Pulumi for IaC in AWS, you will because many permissions on resources often end with /*
, or if you want to print some slashes and stars to the console.
Fortunately, there is a very easy workaround! Use $@
instead of @$
.
string text = $@"any text as long as there is a new line /*";
Much better!
