Support JS with-statements about brackets-outline-list HOT 4 OPEN

This is very hard to diagnose or solve without the actual input.

Does this happen for all JS files or just one?

This extension is using Espree to parse the JavaScript code. The message you cite is shown when the file cannot be parsed. You can use https://astexplorer.net to test the parsing of your file, it might show some more detailed error information.

Thanks for that link.
I ran the script through it, and it flagged 2 types of errors in the code: I was using the "with" keyword in several places, and also the "delete" keyword (to delete an element from an associative array -- is there any other way of doing it?) in local mode.
When I got rid of all lines containing "with" and "delete", the function list indeed appeared nicely in Brackets.
But neither of these are actually errors. Is there any way of allowing them through -- I think in both cases astexplorer mentioned that they were only flagged because it was in "strict" mode. Any chance of being more lenient?

Thanks, great extension, working nicely with the CSS...

According to MDN ...

using with is not recommended, and is forbidden in ECMAScript 5 strict mode.

In order to support parsing with, the parser's ES-version target has to be set to 3 which means newer features (=>, import, ...) would cause syntax errors. If you are targeting that version and don't use any of the ES5+ features, I would consider adding an option to the extension. Please test on AST explorer if that would actually fix the issue for you.

Regarding delete, removing properties from an object is fine, but removing a variable itself is not. See MDN reference.
