Is there a way to suppress the Local warning on the a main script

You're supposed to be able to set #AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters with the flags you want (which would be -w- 4 for turning off the local in global scope warning) but turns out there's a bug with reading them in for the diagnostics that I'm fixing right now.

Released v1.3.0!

 

Added

• COM object syntax highlighting for properties and methods using dot notation
• Distinct token scopes for COM identifiers (support.class.com.autoit) to enable theme-specific styling
• Contributors section to README.md with auto-updating contrib.rocks integration
• Added missing AutoIt macros: @exitMethod, @GUI_DropId, and @SW_ENABLE to completions and hovers
• AU3Check parameter parsing support with corresponding tests to improve syntax check behavior
• Parameter validation and improved status messages in OutputChannelManager (#230)
• WinNet API completions added to IntelliSense

Fixed

• Function pattern incorrectly matching COM object methods (e.g., $obj.Method() now correctly identified as COM, not function)
• Incorrect documentation for @GUI_CtrlId macro (now correctly states "Last click GUI Control identifier" instead of "Drag GUI Control identifier")
• Duplicate WinNet signature removed and WinAPI COM signatures added to signature/hover data
• Incorrect CRLF constant definition corrected
• Duplicate parameter documentation entries removed in signature help provider
• Removed stray duplicate (misspelled) Clibpoard completion entry
• Improved parameter checks in runCheckProcess for more reliable regex matching

Changed

• Consolidated macro data into single source of truth (src/completions/macrosData.js) to eliminate duplication and ensure consistency between completions and hovers
• Converted src/hovers/macros.json to src/hovers/macros.js to import from unified macro data source

Released v1.4.0!

Added

• Map variable IntelliSense - Intelligent key completions when accessing AutoIt Map variables
  • Shows available keys when typing a Map variable name (e.g., typing $map shows known keys)
  • Tracks Map keys across your workspace and included files
  • Works with both direct assignments ($map["key"] = value) and declarations with initial keys
  • Configuration options to tune behavior:
    • autoit.maps.enableIntelligence - Enable/disable Map intelligence (default: true)
    • autoit.maps.includeDepth - Maximum depth for resolving #include files (default: 3, range: 0-10)
    • autoit.maps.showFunctionKeys - Show Map keys assigned in functions (default: true)
  • See docs/map-support.md for performance tuning recommendations
• Scope-aware variable IntelliSense - Intelligent context-aware variable completions that respect AutoIt's scoping rules
  • Shows only accessible variables at cursor position (local, static, global, and parameters)
  • Prioritizes local variables over globals for better relevance
  • Respects function boundaries and AutoIt's scope rules (global and function-level scoping)
  • Extends to global variables from #include files
  • Intelligent debouncing (500ms) with concurrent update handling
  • Fallback to regex-based completion when service is unavailable
• Ignore AutoIt Tidy backup files from diagnostics

Fixed

• Improved error handling for variable tracking updates during configuration changes
• Enhanced stderr and process error handling in Au3Check execution

Changed

• Enhanced README documentation with Map intelligence feature details
• Enhanced variable parsing with support for comma-separated declarations (e.g., Global $a, $b, $c) and improved string handling for AutoIt's double-character escaping
• Extracted formatter constants into constants.js file
• Syntax Highlighting Improvements
  • Migrated syntax definition from XML to JSON format (autoit.tmLanguage.json) for better maintainability and IDE support
  • Enhanced function pattern matching to distinguish function declarations from function calls with dedicated scopes
  • Consolidated all 98+ AutoIt macros into dedicated pattern repository for improved consistency
  • Improved numeric constant parsing with better hexadecimal, decimal, and scientific notation matching
  • Refined operator patterns for comparison, assignment, arithmetic, and concatenation with proper precedence
  • Fixed multi-line string handling by refining string end patterns
  • Enhanced preprocessor directive matching (#include, #pragma, #region, etc.) for better accuracy
  • Improved comment block pattern matching (#comments-start/#cs directives)
  • Reorganized send-key patterns into 13 categorized groups (browser keys, media keys, navigation, numpad, lock, editing, system keys) for granular theme customization
