Dual Python and Comm language syntax

[Jakob-Degn]

Hello,

Currently, I see no way of having both Python and Comm language syntax enabled. So for a .comm file, I have to choose either:

• Python language server, or
• Comm language server.

As many .comm files are Python based, I imagine that the user experience would be much cleaner if the a .comm file could have Python as the base language, and then add additional Code_Aster functionalities on top, e.g., syntax highlighting, hover documentation, completion.
I am not sure how difficult this would be, but i think it would make the workflow much cleaner.

Hello Jakob,

Thank you for using vs-code-aster.

Following your remarks, I have started working on dual Python & Comm syntax support.
A beta 1.3.0 version is now available on the VS Code Market as a pre-release.

I updated the README on the feature/add-dual-python-comm-syntax branch to explain how to enable dual syntax :

Python + Comm syntax :

• It is possible to enable both Python & Comm language features. In order to do so, click on the "Aster Commands" button at the bottom-right of the window, and select Python.
• To enable it on all .comm files, click on the same button but select Configure File Association for '.comm'... then select Python.

However, there are a couple issues with the current implementation that you should be aware of :

• In Python + Comm mode, Python will not recognize code_aster commands and highlight them in red as an error
• In Python + Comm mode, completions are not working for function arguments

Command hovering and signatures appear to work well.

I will leave this issue opened until a stable release version is published.
