Linguist: Typescript syntax highlighting breaking on certain regex following !

[infinnie]

Funnily enough, it appears this code breaks GitHub's syntax highlighting as well.

Forwarded from: microsoft/TypeScript-TmLanguage#806

Preliminary Steps

Please confirm you have...

• reviewed How Linguist Works,
• reviewed the Troubleshooting docs,
• considered implementing an override,
• verified an issue has not already been logged for your issue (linguist issues).

Problem Description

When using the TypeScript as the language, syntax highlight breaks.

class Foo {
    public foo(): boolean {
        return !/[():\w]/.test('foo');
    }

    private bar(): void {}
}

The JavaScript one, unlike in VS Code however, works:

!/[():\w]/.test('foo');

It seems related to the aforementioned upstream bug.

It seems related to the aforementioned upstream bug.

And because it's an upstream bug, this issue shouldn't be reported here. 😉
