Won't work in TextWrangler #2

Closed jbwhaley closed 12 years ago

jbwhaley commented 12 years ago

It doesn't seem to work at all on either my desktop or my laptop--one is running Mountain Lion and the other is running Lion. My copies of TextWrangler are from the Mac App Store...could this be a sandboxing issue?

dunn commented 12 years ago

It's working for me in TextWrangler (both from the App Store and not), so could you post the text of the .fountain file you're using? (Here, or in a gist if it's long.)

jbwhaley commented 12 years ago

Thanks for your help--text below. (This is just a goofy bit of text I wrote up for testing; pretty weird. Hopefully good for a laugh).

INT. HOUSE - DAY

Bob, smacking his lips:

BOB There's extra butter today!

NED Why?

BOB Because God is good!

EXT. PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Bob and Ned are eating six pounds of butter.

BOB Nomnomnom

NED Numnumnum

The first scene doesn't fold unless there's a blank line above it (which definitely needs to be fixed), but otherwise that snippet works OK for me. If you've got "Fountain" selected as your document language and are getting no syntax highlighting or folding at all, then I'm at a bit of a loss.

jbwhaley commented 12 years ago

The problem is that "Fountain" does not even show up as an option when it comes to language selection. So: nothing folds, nothing is highlighted.

dunn commented 12 years ago

Bizarre. All I can think of at the moment is that you might have installed fountain-clm.plist in the wrong directory. It should be placed in the user directory ~/Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/, not the system-wide /Library/Application Support/....

jbwhaley commented 12 years ago

Nope, it's definitely in ~/Library/...etc. Weird.

jbwhaley commented 12 years ago

Anyone else having this problem? It's driving me crazy.

dunn commented 12 years ago

I'm not sure if either of these actions will help, but you could try

  1. Installing a non-App Store version of TextWrangler; or
  2. Having /Applications/Utilities/Console open when you try to open a .fountain file, and see if Console logs any TextWrangler error messages.

Ah. Here we go. Any ideas?

That's interesting, because the keys that it says are missing are definitely in fountain-clm.plist; you can see them if you look at the source. Maybe your version got corrupted somehow? Try downloading it again, make sure that the downloaded file matches the file hosted here on GitHub, and re-install it.

jbwhaley commented 12 years ago

I finally got it to work by pasting the source directly into the .plist file. Not sure what happened, but it's all resolved now. Thanks for your help.

dunn commented 12 years ago

Great! Sorry this took so long to resolve.
