Types that function returns is not highlighted

All other types do get highlighted literally everywhere, but function returns are an exception, it seems?I’m pretty sure it’s not intended.

I think its a bug becouse even function arguments do get highlighted.

Could you post (or direct message me) more of the context of this code? Function returns should be highlighted. But I cannot find a case where they aren’t.

My best guess from the posted code is - it looks to me like the parser thinks you are calling a function named “thread” on an object returned from the “Thread” function in this snippet, rather than declaring a function named Thread returning a thread. But it’s hard to say without seeing the surrounding code.

It does not highlight any function:

local function Hello():string
	return ""
end

I am experiencing the same issue. The return types used to be colored but that broke ever since the update before the most recent one. Type autofill also broke for a bunch of things

(uint is just a type alias for number, in the top i have type uint = number)

Release Notes for 672

This update has broken a lot of the typechecker autofill annotations for me. I do not use strict typechecking, but I use some annotations to get the autofill working. Because of that, my type annotations are obviously incorrect and would raise a bunch of strict typechecking errors, but i don’t have strict turned on, but up until recently, the autofill would still work at least --example of what broke type entry = { property1: boolean, thing2: CFrame, num: number, } local list :{e…

Thanks, as it turns out I couldn’t reproduce the bug because I was trying with an unreleased version of Studio that already has it fixed. I’ll reach out again when it releases to see if there’s still a problem.

the typechecker parser has been broken across the board, it doesn’t matter how explicit, how obvious a function definition is, if it were the case that the parser assumed something like

function something(param: number):object

was actually

something(param:number):object()

i.e. calling a method called "object instead of assuming object is a type, then that means its not looking for the () and its also ignoring the function keyword. In the first example object is clearly a type and not a call.

I can’t find a single line of code anywhere that has the return type highlighted on my end. Is your testing version using the same parser as the rest of us?

This should now be fixed! Types returned by a function should now receive highlights.

ye it does work now
