[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-4677) Nullish coalescing operator (??) in JavaScript reported as an error in NetBeans.

["Rumi Mohammad (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4677?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17297053#comment-17297053 ] 

Rumi Mohammad commented on NETBEANS-4677:
-----------------------------------------

The same goes for nullish assignments `??=`.

I'd flag this as more than minor because it messes with the Format Code functionality, making everything align oddly and sometimes locking up the CPUs in a lengthy formatting process. It just crashed now, and I lost quite a bit of code. Stupid of me not to save before trying to format when I know this is broken...

My current workaround is to include blank comments above the first line with a nullish assignment in each code block. For example:

 

 
{code:java}
{
  let x = x || 'this is ok';
  //
  let y ??= 'please fix this',
    z ??= 'so formatting can work again';
}
{code}
