Version 2023.2 removes syntax highlighting from Javascript and Typescript files in Eclipse

[mondjunge]

Describe the bug Version 2023.2 permanently removes syntax highlighting from Javascript and Typescript files. Removing the plugin will not restore it. It affects all workspaces.

To Reproduce Install or update Codetogether Plugin version 2023.2 in Eclipse WWD

Expected behavior CodeTogether should not mess with Syntax Highlighting or remove it.

CodeTogether Host

• IDE: Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers
• IDE Version: 2022-06 (4.24.0)
• OS: Linux
• OS Version: 22.04

Workaround (if any) Did not find any way to fix the issue. You need to reinstall Eclipse

Hi @mondjunge, thank you for reporting the issue.

I have just tested the following configuration:

• Ubuntu 22.06
• Eclipse 2022-06
• Default light color theme
• React project with JS and TS files

I have tried both sharing a new session and joining an existing one (where also React project was shared). Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce the issue.

Would be great if you could share the following information:

• Is there any concrete flow that leads to the broken state? Or maybe after plugin installation and Eclipse restart, the syntax coloring is gone?
• Do you use any custom theme (e.g. DevStyle)?
• Could use share the log with us? There are multiple ways to get it. One of them is to open the Error Log view and use export action from there. Please review the log to ensure that you do not share any sensitive information.

Hey, I am sorry to inform you: The logs are gone, since the workspace was corrupted by Codetogether Plugin and I deleted the corrupted and created a new one. 😔 I currently don't have the time to reproduce and debug the problems any further.

As I said, we are using Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers not plain Eclipse IDE for Java. We also have Tomcat Plugin and ECL1 Plugin installed.

I don't know what DevStyle is. Theming is disabled in my Eclipse Preferences.
