Unsupported language using C# as driver

[erizocosmico]

If you set C# as the language, bblfsh says "unsupported language", but if you use csharp it works. The thing is, C# is what enry returns, so it should work on bblfsh as well.

Until we have a language aliases support bblfsh/bash-driver#39 (comment) on the driver manifest level - we better off keeping our current re-mapping strategy that is already in-place for number of languages.

Right now this is already working for the case of C# + language detection on bblfshd side.
Going to add the same re-mapping for case of user-provided language name.

This way it will also work for any scala-client users as well.

If you set C# as the language, bblfsh says "unsupported language",

If you could be so kind and provide an API call and exact error message on this failure in C# case -
that would help to make sure I did not miss it in the fix.

So far I got

$ bblfsh-cli -l 'C#' ./smth.cs
couldn't parse ./smth.cs: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = unexpected error: runtime failure: missing driver for language "C#"

Would that be the same case you are talking about, right?

[erizocosmico]

Yes. That's the same issue

Will be part of the next v2.12.0 release scope - let me know if you need it sooner and I'll be happy to 🔪 it asap, otherwise will wait to have more fixes for the release (next week?).
