PHP Syntax Highlighting

[Evanslooten]

For some reason, I had to rebuild my containers this morning. Afterward, Theia is not doing any syntax highlighting for PHP files. When I run the container, in the console I see the following errors which I believe may be related.

I am using Laradock.

@Evanslooten without any additional information it is hard to help unfortunately. Do you mind sharing your application’s package.json?

@Evanslooten it does not look like you've included php in the list of plugins (theiaPlugins) entry of your package.json. You can include vscode-builtin-php, it provides syntax highlighting for php files.

[Evanslooten]

This configuration is generated by Laradock, which hasn't changed. Up until today, the code highlighting was working, so I believe it may already be part of the build. Plus this error makes me think something from vscode is loading a php specific library.

ide-theia_1 | root ERROR [6cfeae16-b080-4d31-9e8f-6d38b3936e81][vscode.markdown]: Language for 'meta.embedded.block.php' not found.

[vince-fugnitto]

This configuration is generated by Laradock, which hasn't changed.

There is nothing present in the package.json that would contribute syntax highlighting, and since I am unsure about the history of the configuration I cannot tell for certain why it was working before. I suspect it used to use the deprecated @theia/textmate-grammars extension (which contributes syntax highlighting for a large number of languages).

Plus this error makes me think something from vscode is loading a php specific library. ide-theia_1 | root ERROR [6cfeae16-b080-4d31-9e8f-6d38b3936e81][vscode.markdown]: Language for 'meta.embedded.block.php' not found.

The error is related to markdown files only, when using embedded languages (guard when using backticks) not php syntax highlighting.

[vince-fugnitto]

If this is the file you're referencing, then the base image is incorrect and used to include @theia/texmate-grammars but it no longer does (reason why php syntax highlighting was present and no longer is):

[Evanslooten]

OK thank you for the information. I will poke around and see what I can figure out.

No problem! The theia-php image might be a better candidate as a base image.

[Evanslooten]

Switching to that image corrected my issue. Thanks a bunch for your help!
