Syntax Error - Indicate Location

[bgribaudo]

Preflight Checklist

• I have installed the latest version of Power Query SDK.
• I have checked existing resources, including the common issues and the release notes.
• I have searched for similar issues.

Problem

When a .pq file has a syntax error, the error that is displayed may not identify which file in the project has the problem.

Example

Notice how below reports a syntax error, but not where it is to be found:

[5:58:24 PM]	[Info]	[Task found] c:\Users\ben\.vscode\extensions\powerquery.vscode-powerquery-sdk-0.2.3-win32-x64\.nuget\Microsoft.PowerQuery.SdkTools.2.114.4\tools\PQTest.exe run-test
				--extension "Some.mez"
				--queryFile "Some.query.pq"
				--prettyPrint
[5:58:26 PM]	[Error]	[Task exited abnormally] pqtest run-test pid(23484) exit(3762504530) stderr: 
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to parse the document
   at PQTest.Common.Utilities.Parse(String mashupDocument)
   at PQTest.Common.Utilities.GetDocumentKind(String code)
   at PQTest.Common.QueryFileAnalyzer.PerformAnalysis()
   at PQTest.Common.Commands.PrepareTests(Configuration configuration)
   at PQTest.Common.Commands.<>c__DisplayClass14_0.<RunTestBattery>b__0()
   at PQTest.Common.Commands.ConfigureMashupEnvironmentAndRun(Configuration configuration, Action action)

   at Microsoft.Extensions.CommandLineUtils.CommandLineApplication.Execute(String[] args)
   at PQTest.Console.Program.Main(String[] args)

Desired Solution

Indication of which file contains the syntax error and (ideally) the line and column number of its location.

Alternatives and Workarounds

No response

Additional Context

The above example error was from a syntax problem in the .query.pq file.

This should be resolved in the 0.3.1 release (sdktools 2.127.2).

Syntax errors should now be caught and displayed as an error.

The raw output looks like this:

    {
        "ActivityId": "785b203d-6cf3-4ade-af76-f09e6d0d8422",
        "DataSourceAnalysis": [],
        "Details": "Token ',' expected. Start position: (3, 22). End position (3, 38).",
        "EndTime": "2024-03-18T22:05:19.6392845+00:00",
        "Method": "PQTest.RunTest",
        "Name": "test.query.pq",
        "StartTime": "2024-03-18T22:05:19.6228897+00:00",
        "DiagnosticEvents": {},
        "RowCount": 0,
        "Status": "Failed",
        "Type": "PQTest.Expression",
        "Error": {
            "Message": "Token ',' expected. Start position: (3, 22). End position (3, 38)."
        }
    }

Thank you, @mattmasson! Unfortunately, the line numbers reported appear incorrect. Since I don't have permissions to reopen this issue, I'll open a new one.
