I don't understand the question, is the title an error message you recieved? What are the steps to reproduce?

I also met this problem when I want to highlight word in a large file.

Command 'Highlight Toggle Sidebar' resulted in an error (Running the contributed command: 'highlightwords.toggleSidebar' failed.)

Command 'Highlight Toggle Current' resulted in an error (Running the contributed command: 'highlightwords.addHighlight' failed.)

Also met this problem while running ''Highlight Toggle Current'.
'Set Highlight Mode' command running fine.

I can not recreate these issues, if someone could please provide the steps to recreate, thanks.

I follow the Microsoft VSCode Extension dev guide, and setup a dev environment with your source code.
I got these Errors while debugging:

node_modules/@types/node/index.d.ts(66,11): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'IteratorResult'.
src/tree.ts(51,6): error TS2611: 'tooltip' is defined as a property in class 'TreeItem', but is overridden here in 'HighlightNode' as an accessor.
../../../../usr/local/lib/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es2015.iterable.d.ts(41,6): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'IteratorResult'.

---

After doing these changes, i can run the extension well:

1. Comment the 'tooltip()' function, for skip 'tooltip' funciton error
2. Add '"skipLibCheck": true' into "compilerOptions" of 'tsconfig.json' file, for fix Duplicate identifier 'IteratorResult' error

I'm not familiar with typescript, hope these info can be helpful, thanks.
