Sass 3.3 &__ and &-- selectors compatibility

[pepelsbey]

This block (which output .block__element) is not highlighted properly: &

.block {
    &__element {
        }
    }

Would love to have this highlight properly.

I would love to see this worked on, too.

Actually, rather than just mindlessly asking for someone else to do the hard work, I'm going to do some exploring for this. I've never created or modified a Sublime plugin, so bare with me. I'm more hoping someone smarter than I can come along with this info and help out.

This file seems to reference all the highlighting rules. Within it there is a group of rules that are directed towards SCSS selectors.

It just so happens that one of these rules references #tag_parent_reference, which is the &. It appears this rule is set to only match to <string>\&amp;</string>.

There's also a number of other examples for selector matching, like placeholder and classes.

My thinking is that we can modify the #tag_parent_reference to match anything connected to it that is not another selector... Unfortunately this is where I'm stuck on how to do :\

Any thoughts?

Josh, I've never done this before, but I'll look into it as well. I just made a comment today because I upgraded to 3.3 and can't find anything that supports the highlighting the way I'd like it to and wanted to bring attention to this.

@kyleatfine, guys: I have switched to P233/Syntax-highlighting-for-Sass a while ago and don’t have any problems… well, I have some, but not so annoying.

Yes, but that requires switching the default .scss file to use .sass highlighting. Plus I don't need/want the other features that package has. I'd prefer to just have the .scss highlighting upgraded to match Sass 3.3, and considering 3.4 is out now, it's just a good idea to keep updating this one, rather than have to switch packages entirely.

I'm more than happy to open up this repository to contributions. I've been looking for someone to take over the development of this project for quite some time.

Maybe someone is willing to help?

For the record - @EnriqueCanals is taking over the project, I just paired with him to get this fixed.

Cheers.

Awesome! Thanks for the update :)

Thank you it's works but their is now a bug with @media (@ highlight syntax error) I use Sublime text 2

otherwise, I cant get this update via package control, I must edit SCSS.tmLanguage manually.
