VS Code Highlight Text Mate Rules Priority

Is there a way to make the meta.function-call text mate rule to take precedence over entity.name.function?

In VS Code Crystal (Ruby-like language) setting both method definition and method call marked with the entity.name.function token.

I would like to have method definition as bold but method calls as not bold. But it doesn't work as I can't override entity.name.function with meta.function-call

enter image description here

My setting.json:

{
  "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "textMateRules": [
      {
        "scope": [
          "entity.name.function"
        ],
        "settings": { "foreground": "#3730A3", "fontStyle": "bold" }
      },
      {
        "scope": [
          "meta.function-call"
        ],
        "settings": { "foreground": "#111827", "fontStyle": "" }
      }
    ]
  }
}
Solution

  • Specify multiple scopes delimited by whitespace:

    {
    "name": "function definition",
    "scope": [
        "entity.name.function"
    ],
    "settings": {
        "foreground": "#ff0000"
    }
},
{
    "name": "function call",
    "scope": [
        "meta.function-call entity.name.function"
    ],
    "settings": {
        "foreground": "#0000ff"
    }
},
