notebook cell doesn't get document highlight request about vscode-languageserver-node HOT 4 CLOSED

this might be a bug in vscode - microsoft/vscode#202293

from vscode-languageserver-node.

another issue found was in Server Capability that is returned from initialize,

it has documentHighlightProvider?: boolean | DocumentHighlightOptions; instead of documentHighlightProvider?: boolean | DocumentHighlightOptions | **DocumentHighlightRegistrationOptions**; unlike typeHierarchyProvider?: boolean | TypeHierarchyOptions | TypeHierarchyRegistrationOptions

also, I am not sure why
documentFormattingProvider has this signature export class DocumentFormattingFeature extends TextDocumentLanguageFeature<boolean | DocumentFormattingOptions, **DocumentHighlightRegistrationOptions** instead of DocumentFormattingRegistrationOptions

from vscode-languageserver-node.

Reason is Backwards compatibility. We had document highlight before a server could provide a selector on initialize. If we want to support this we need to make this a client capability since forcing clients to support this would be a breaking chance.

Very likely a copy / paste mistake. Fixed it.
