Sample Code to Reproduce

  # Validations
  validates :creator, presence: true, on: :create
  validates :description, length: { maximum: 2000 }, allow_blank: true
  validates :ci_config_path,
    format: { without: %r{(\.{2}|\A/)},
              message: N_('cannot include leading slash or directory traversal.') },
    length: { maximum: 255 },
    allow_blank: true
  validates :name,
    presence: true,
    length: { maximum: 255 }
  validates :path,

Expected behavior Syntax highlighting should work as expected after %r/ Ruby expression
