Description

Attempting to change my default language syntax highlighting for double-barrelled file extensions. I do a lot of Shopify development which uses it's own .liquid file extension, but when working on Liquid-powered JS/CSS/SCSS files, the extensions retain their old extension: *.js.liquid, *.css.liquid, *.scss.liquid.

So, using a plugin, *.liquid files are highlighted as Liquid files, but I want SCSS/JS/CSS-powered Liquid files to follow their original extension highlighting.

Here is everything that's in my brackets.json document. `{ "fonts.fontSize": "14px",

"fonts.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro-Medium', ＭＳ ゴシック, 'MS Gothic', monospace",

"themes.theme": "brackets-material-dark-theme",

"bb.beautify.hideDialog": false,

"noDistractions": false,

"styleActiveLine": true,

"linting.collapsed": true,

"language.fileExtensions": {

    "scss.liquid": "scss"

},

"language.fileNames": {

    "js.liquid": "javascript"

    }
}`

Versions

Linux Ubuntu Brackets 1.9

I can't reproduce. Tried mapping *.scss.liquid and *.js.liquid to scss and javascript as default, reloaded, and both files with those extensions open in scss/javascript mode as expected.

Your preferences also seem wrong, put both mappings under languages.fileExtensions instead:

"language.fileExtensions": {
    "js.liquid": "javascript",
    "scss.liquid": "scss"
}
