I have both dart.previewFlutterUiGuides and dart.previewFlutterUiGuidesCustomTracking enabled.
I've restarted vscode.
When I write new code, the guidelines appear.
But they don't appear on code that I've already written.
Edit: Seems to not appear only on some code I've already written.
Is that expected behavior?
DanTup commentedon Jun 1, 2019
@digitalhurricane-io it's not expected behaviour :( Do you have any syntax errors in the file/code that isn't working? Would you mind opening a new issue specifically for this, and include screenshots of the code that's not working? Thanks!
digitalhurricane-io commentedon Jun 1, 2019
I'm nesting widgets inside a ternary operator on the offending code. Perhaps this is why?
Edit: I've opened an issue with a screenshot of the code here #1771

UI guides do not work inside the builder.

Guide formatting breaks when using tabs for indentation
DanTup commentedon Jun 12, 2019
@marcoms good catch - I opened #1791 specifically for that and will fix for vNext.

Only works in some files for me... not sure why or what I'm doing wrong.
Here it works great:
Here it doesn't seem to work (at least not how I would expect):
(Both are files I wrote before enabling the UI guides)
This is such a great idea in theory though, will make writing code in Flutter so much nicer.

@jckpn the second screenshot uses builders, which didn't support these. I believe that's been improved in a later SDK, but hasn't made the Flutter stable channel yet. Hopefully it'll just start working when it does :-)

not sure why it looks like that for me..
a-eid commentedon Dec 25, 2019
could be the custom line height I think..
DanTup commentedon Jan 2, 2020
@a-eid what is your line-height set to? Custom line heights will cause gaps (see #1902) but it shouldn't have such large spaces unless you've set your line height really high.

Italic multiline comments causes the guidelines within the comment to also tilt.
See screenshot:

@emme1444 looks like that's been filed at #2239 - thanks!

Thanks for all the feedback. I don't think there's much more to collect from this issue so I'll close it. The UI guides feature remains behind a preview flag because it's method of rendering is not too reliable but there are currently no other available APIs.
If VS Code gets a better API for this in the future (microsoft/vscode#73780), we can move them over and hopefully have something good enough to ship on-by-default.
