No Identical Token Matching

[krusk]

Hi all,

I have Node.JS tools installed in Visual Studio 2013, but in my Node project I don't get an identical token matching. In another project, such as a Web site using JavaScript, it matches without issue where a variable, function, etc. is shown as highlighted with its match. Is there is a configuration I am missing?

Thanks!

K.

JavaScript and Node.js are using different language services, and we haven't entirely reached feature parity yet. See #344 (comment) for more details.

You can also try the ES6 IntelliSense preview and see if you like that better, but I'm not sure you'll get token matching there either.

Alternatively, you can enable the default JavaScript language service by following the following steps

Thanks. I don't see the Set as Content (browser code) or Set as Compile (Node.js code) to toggle between modes in my directories. Is there a way to check my version of NodeTools to see if I need a different one/which one has this functionality?

It should be there for any folder with js files. We only introduced it in 1.1 RC, so I recommend downloading the latest build from https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools/releases
