Title:
Invalid escape sequences in regexes when installing gedit
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On a clean install of the 24.04 beta, if you do a "sudo apt install
gedit", you get the following messages at the end of the install:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/externaltools/library.py:212:
SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\-'
RE_KEY = re.compile('^([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_.\-]*)(\[([a-zA-Z_@]+)\])?$')
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/snippets/substitutionparser.py:162:
SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\s'
match = re.match('\\\\?%s\s*' % self.REG_GROUP, tokens)
So there are 2 issues with regexes.
Bug #2055010 reports the first of these, but not the second, and it
also reports a different issue as "the huger problem" (one that I
can't reproduce). I hope I'm making the right call in opening a new
bug report specifically for these regex issues.
Some more details:
- on the clean install, I did apply all available updates before trying to
install gedit
- you can also reproduce this issue from the live ("try ubuntu") environment
