haxe-formatter test file highlighting
haxe-formatter uses a custom
.hxtestfile extension for unit test definitions. These files are highlighted by the debug tools: -
Cursor Byte Offset Status Bar Item
The debug tools add a status bar item displaying the current cursor byte offset when in a Haxe file. Haxe
--displayqueries require the cursor byte offset as an argument, making this feature very useful when isolating and reproducing bugs.
