20:26:44 <tomman> well, it seems Gitlab just deployed its latest load of Chromeisms™, as it broke again on Seamonkey (even with JustOff's addon)
20:26:56 <tomman> SyntaxError: invalid regexp group  21.4fceb368.chunk.js:1:37724
20:29:19 <tomman> this regex, specifically: Re=/^&(?<iid>\d+)$/
20:33:39 <tomman> I'm a total moron with regexes, so can anyone please tell me what's wrong with that one?
20:51:16 <robobox> probably another WebComponents thing
21:50:24 <tomman> it's a regex, tho...
22:01:21 <tomman> let's test what that regex actually does...
22:01:25 <tomman> https://regex101.com/
22:02:05 <tomman> it matches digits preceded by &, i.e. &12345
22:02:13 <tomman> and the digits are captured in a named capture group
22:02:30 <tomman> (the ?<iid> part, "iid" being the actual name)
22:05:45 <tomman> https://developer.mozilla.org/es/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions#compatibilidad_del_navegador
22:06:02 <tomman> ...aaaand that was implemented on Firefox 78
22:06:05 <tomman> Bummer...
22:06:17 <tomman> ...at least today I learned something new (and useless... to me!)
22:06:48 <IanN_Away> tomman: I think frg_Away was looking at the new regular expression stuff
22:06:52 <tomman> if we rewrite the regex as Re=/^&(\d+)$/, it works
22:07:25 <tomman> so not exactly a Chromeism™ this time then :/
22:08:15 <IanN_Away> tomman: not sure, frg_Away probably has all the gorey details
22:09:55 <frg_Away> tomman Waterfox Classic has imported it. https://github.com/WaterfoxCo/Waterfox/pull/2229
22:09:56 <frg_Away> Will öick it next but I am on the parser currently for the optional chaining operator. Trying to get both in but not done in a day :)
22:10:21 <tomman> oooh~
22:10:55 <tomman> Regexes are not my friends anyway :P
22:11:40 <tomman> TIL you can name your capture groups - I guess it's easier to remember match.group("foo") instead of match.group(2)
22:11:44 <tomman> but then you end writing more code!
22:12:25 <tomman> wtf, Java supports those since Java 7
22:12:54 <tomman> why bother with naming your capture groups for such a short regex, why why why?!
22:13:03 <tomman> (it's the one and only group in this example!)
22:15:40 <tomman> https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=27135&p=218048&hilit=capture+group#p218048 similar issue at the other side of the fence
23:56:32 <robobox> people still use java in browsers?
23:57:51 <tomman> robobox: I'm pretty much sure that somewhere, someone is still being forced to use some horrible KVM Java applet for managing their server...
23:58:24 <frg_Away> robobox not in the current ones I suspect. java plugin is dead as a doorstopper.
