This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
This consists of several "sub"-bugs: * Out of the box, Action Items (e.g. "TODO") do not work in YAML files (.yml). * I registered "yml" as a new Extension (under Tools > Options > Team > Action Items) with Line Comment Pattern: # The registering worked (seemingly) but the Action Items still don't show up. * Only when I uncheck "Show ToDos from comments only" it works (even though my TODO's are in comments). * When I change the file extension from .yml to .php it works too. Putting all this together, I'm quite sure it's a yml-related bug ;-) Note: By "not working" I mean that the Action Item is not showing up in the "Action Items" window (Ctrl+6).
I have recognized that the comments work correctly only if they are at the beginning of a line. See more issue #255455. Is it your case as well?

Yes, this is the case here too; I just voted for that other bug. However, the Action Item doesn't show up, no matter where it's located in the line ;-)
Problem is that there is test, whether the begin start blog pattern is null, but is not tested whether is empty. It belongs to tasklist.todo module. Anyway i fixed it in web-main.
