I think there is an incorrect assumption in this if - that is that buffer is the whole file contents. This is probably true for small files, but not so for bigger files. getPointer() is the index in the buffer, and getIndex() is the index in the file (but in code points, not bytes or characters)

This implies that we should/could not rely on the buffer delivered with the exception? If so, I've to re-read the file in the MarkedYAMLException catch clause to determine the document/file length:

			} catch (MarkedYAMLException yamlException) {
                                try (var reReadStream = configFile.getContents()) {
				     var bufferLength = reReadStream.readAllBytes().length;
				      addMarkerToClangdConfig(configFile, yamlException, bufferLength);
                               }
			}

That code snippet is the number of bytes in the file :-( number of bytes, chars and code points can all be different.

Turning the code point index back into char pr byte index is a non-trivial operation. I would say it probably isn't worth it.

What is the problem that using the length of the file is trying to solve? Is it an out of bound exception on the charEnd by just adding 1?

When problemMark.getIndex() == buffer.length() then the marker index points to the non visible \r or \n character and the marker cannot be displayed:

The maker is only visible on the file in the project explorer.

Or, as above, when there is no \r\n, index + 1 > buffer.length

index = getIndexOfLastPrintableChar(buffer);
// When index == buffer.length() the marker index points to the non visible
// \r or \n character and the marker is not displayed in the editor.
// Or, even worse, there is no next line and index + 1 would be > buffer.length
// Therefore we have to find the last visible char:
index = getIndexOfLastVisibleChar(buffer);
}
marker.charStart = index;

There is a small error here, index is in codePoints, but charStart is measured in characters. So you can get some slightly offset files. Consider this file that uses tab incorrectly:

bob:	bob

renders the error as expected:

But if you use a character requiring surrogate pairs such as 😂 you get an off by one error. If there are lots of such characters before the error in the file it can be quite far off.

b😂b:	bob

image

alice: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
john: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
bob:	bob

image

In this case since the error is a single character wide, you can end up having no red underline at all because the range is less than a displayed character:

alice: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
john: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
bob:	bob

This seems hard to solve. As you mentioned above, all we have is the number of bytes:

Yes - it is a small (but interesting) problem. I am not convinced you need to solve it, but just be aware of it.

You can choose to not solve it, and leave it as a known problem that it will get the charStart/End correct only if bytes == chars == code points. I don't know how often this will be a real world problem.

Same thing for the above end of file.

I think it is ok to have this deficiency because the error marker will be present on the file and error message will be correct.

PS If you do want to solve the problem, you can read the number of code points in the file and then you will have exact indexes. To do this you need to do BOM handling (see org.yaml.snakeyaml.reader.UnicodeReader) and convert char to code point (see org.yaml.snakeyaml.reader.StreamReader.update() or org.yaml.snakeyaml.error.Mark.toCodePoints(char[]) for code you may be able to call)

I'll see if I can solve this later. I can open a separate issue for that.

It is indeed a problem on larger files. I've to re-read the file into a buffer stream to get the end of the buffer. The buffer in the MarkedYAMLException was limited to ~800 bytes:

I think it is ok to have this deficiency because the error marker will be present on the file and error message will be correct.

IMO the missing error marker at the end of the file is more relevant, because I think it is more a real world problem to forget the final } than using non UTF-8 characters in a txt file. So I would like to add the re-read of the file to the catch clause at mentioned here.

Sounds good.

In test you can just let the InterruptedException be thrown by the test method. It makes the test shorter, and if a thread is interrupted here that would be unexpected, so having the stacktrace saved in the test results (instead of just stderr) is good.
