Diagnostics `ignoreDir` not respecting square brackets (`[]`) in paths

[napei]

Describe the bug
Ignoring paths does not seem to work when the paths contain square brackets.

Example path: resources/[folder]/[subfolder]

To Reproduce

• Set Lua.workspace.ignoreDir to contain the path to the folder
• I've tried the following
  • resources/[folder]/[subfolder]
  • resources/[[]folder]/[[]subfolder]
  • resources/\[folder\]/\[subfolder\]
  • resources/\\[folder\\]/\\subfolder\\]
  • resources/%5Bfolder%5D/%5Bsubfolder%5D
• It won't ignore the paths

Expected behavior
The folder should be ignored correctly.

Screenshots
I only noticed this as a problem, as the directory shown below has weird files obsfucated as binary data which of course can't be diagnosed, so what happens is it just sits there constantly trying.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Is WSL remote? No
• Client: VSCode

Provide logs

Potentially this is an issue upstream inside https://github.com/sumneko/lua-glob? Reading through the parser I don't see it handling escaped square brackets? Maybe I'm wrong though, LPeg is a mystery to me.

resources/\[folder\]/\[subfolder\] should works, please use this and show me the new log

@sumneko interesting. it is now working once I disable the trixnz.vscode-lua extension I also have (for formatting). I suppose something there conflicts as they both provide a language server? I'd say this is a non-issue then, apologies for wasting time.

On another note, if you could implement code formatting in your extension that would be awesome. I use the other extension as it's the only somewhat configurable formatter I've found, given how many configuration parameters you expose already I think an implementation by you would be very good!

EDIT: I just found https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua in case you never add formatting, it seems quite nice.

Thanks

It seems not support Lua 5.3+

From the log you provided, I did not see that this extension loaded any file with GABZ in its filename.
In addition, I also installed another extension you mentioned, but it was not possible to reproduce the problem.

One possibility is that you opened this file in a window. When the file is actively opened, I will force the file to be loaded.
I suggest you modify the extension of this file.

Interesting. Regardless, it doesn't appear to be an issue on your end. I'll close this. Thanks for looking into it 😄
