Is it possible to ignore specific syntax errors?

[yiruzu]

I’m trying to use the ? optional chaining operator, but since it’s not supported by default, StyLua treats it as a syntax error: unexpected token ?``

I’ve tried using -- stylua: ignore, but it seems this only bypasses formatting and not syntax validation.
Is there a way to make StyLua ignore specific syntax errors like this?

Unfortunately this is not possible right now. We need to have a successfully parsing syntax tree to perform formatting. Right now this is mainly for safety to verify we don't mess anything up. The --stylua: ignore comment is found based off the syntax tree.

Is this syntax from a particular project? e.g., I have in my backlog to see what it takes to support GMod Lua (#930) and FiveM Lua (#855)

[yiruzu]

Yes, this is for FiveM Lua. Just to make sure I understood correctly, supporting it is already on your to-do list, right?

Correct, can't promise when, but i do want to try it out sometime
