Color picker breaks when rpy file becomes invalid syntax and doesn't recover

[Konayachi]

Extension version

2.2.2, 2.3.6

Issue description

When UI loads/reloads, extension works as expected.
If I modify the file such that the syntax becomes wrong, the extension breaks and the color pickers disappear (see video).
The only way to get them back is with a complete UI is reload.

renpy.plugin.colors.broken.mp4

I notice this also happens when I change to other longer files but I can't find how to reproduce it reliably.

Scope inspector screenshots

Code

define gui.selected_color = '#ffffff'
define gui.insensitive_color = '#8996be'

I found the logs. Unfortunately it has personal data so I'm unsure about sharing the whole file but I found this:

[Default] > Ren'Py extension deactivating

Is this expected to see in the log file when the issue in the video happens?

I decided to take a look at this. When the color is temporarily invalid (while the user is typing or even changing using the picker) this appears in the console:

I hope this helps getting this bug fixed

[duckdoom4]

Thanks for the stack trace, that might help me find the issue.

As for why this happened; the plugin crashes, causing it to shutdown until you restart visual studio and/or maybe if you open another renpy file

[duckdoom4]

I did come across this crash and have included a fix in #410. I'll mark it as resolved, it should be available in the next release.
(Note that you will then have to update to the new official renpy extension!)
