Syntax highlighting is not working

[JustScreaMy]

After installation the babi command is working, but the syntax highlighting is not working at all.

Some maybe useful info:

Python 3.9.5
pip 20.0.2
babi v1.5.1
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release:    20.04
Codename:   focal

please include your installation instructions -- babi works best when installed in a virtualenv or with pip install --user (sudo pip install is not recommended and not supported)

[JustScreaMy]

i have installed it with python3.9 -m pip install babi without sudo and it is launching from .local/bin/babi so that should be alright I hope.

what is your $TERM set to?

[JustScreaMy]

xterm-256color

[asottile]

can you ls -al ~/.local/share and ls -al ~/.config/babi and echo $XDG_DATA_HOME and echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME

ls -al ~/.local/share

ls -al ~/.config/babi

ls: cannot access '/home/krop/.config/babi': No such file or directory

echo $XDG_DATA_HOME echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME

[asottile]

how about tree ~/.local/share/babi

okay this might be stupid but I was able to resolve my issue with just reinstalling the package with some extra flags python3.9 -m pip install babi --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir, not sure where was the issue but it works now. sorry for this

[asottile]

seems like everything is in the right place -- let's see if it's a problem with your python interpreter. can you run this script for me?

import curses

from babi.highlight import Grammars
from babi.user_data import prefix_data, xdg_data, xdg_config
from babi.theme import Theme

def c_main(stdscr):
    return curses.COLORS, curses.can_change_color()

colors, can_change= curses.wrapper(c_main)
print(f'{colors=}')
print(f'{can_change=}')

prefix = prefix_data('grammar_v1')
print(f'{prefix=}')
xdg = xdg_data('grammar_v1')
print(f'{xdg=}')

grammars = grammars = Grammars(prefix, xdg)

python_grammar = grammars.grammar_for_scope('source.python')
print(f'{python_grammar.scope_name=}')

theme_filename = xdg_config('theme.json')
print(f'{theme_filename=}')

theme = Theme.from_filename(theme_filename)
print(f'{theme.default=}')
