Error resolving untitled html- en js-documents

[MomoPZ]

Encountered the following while working on a template extension:
As soon as I add 'html' or 'js' as file-extension to DocumentManager.createUntitledDocument(counter, fileExt) an error from the ScopeManager is written to the console: "Error resolving /bracketsrandomFileNumber"
If you pass an empty or different string as file-extension no errors occurs.
The error seems to be caused by code hints as mentioned in a comment here: #4368 (comment)
Besides the error message it seems to work fine. So probably it's not a big deal.

Full error:
Error resolving /_brackets_31559423/ ScopeManager.js:1071
(anonymous function) ScopeManager.js:1071
(anonymous function) /filesystem/FileSystem.js:594
(anonymous function) /filesystem/impls/appshell/AppshellFileSystem.js:210
(anonymous function) appshell:273

@MomoPZ Yes, this is a known issue -- untitled documents should not have any file extension yet, specifically because the JS code hinting code may choke on untitled documents. This is why PR #6409 disables the language switcher UI for untitled files so far. (I think we actually didn't intend for people to call createUntitledDocument() directly, btw -- it's better to invoke the whole FILE_NEW command).

I'm not sure we have anything tracking the untitled-JS/hints issue specifically, but it probably boils down to one of these user stories:

• https://trello.com/c/FaoluhZ5/336-2-user-defined-language-syntax-mode-per-file
• https://trello.com/c/cNVSkHPV/62-javascript-code-hints-cleanup
• https://trello.com/c/8RrVHHJK/951-remember-syntax-mode-for-untitled-documents

So I'm marking this 'move to backlog' -- it should probably get closed against one of those existing user stories.

I made a more specific backlog card to track this now: https://trello.com/c/CNXuU4TY/1369-fix-js-code-hints-to-support-untitled-documents, so I'll close this bug to avoid duplication.

Thanks for reporting the problem @MomoPZ! If you're interested, you can set a watch on that item in Trello to get update notifications.
