After updating my rails syntax isn't detected anymore

[mhenrixon]

Something must have changed recently to break how rails syntax was found and set. Any ideas?

ApplySyntax: Syntax file for Ruby on Rails does not exist at Packages/Rails/Ruby on Rails.tmLanguage

No wonder ST3 doesn't keep packages that way anymore. I don't want to have to copy language files to that directory for every syntax I want to support. So how can we fix this?

So I tried installing it from the package manage:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_plugin.py", line 207, in on_load callback.on_load(v) File "/Users/mhenrixon/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/ApplySyntax.sublime-package/ApplySyntax.py", line 63, in on_load self.detect_syntax(view) File "/Users/mhenrixon/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/ApplySyntax.sublime-package/ApplySyntax.py", line 80, in detect_syntax if self.syntax_matches(syntax): File "/Users/mhenrixon/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/ApplySyntax.sublime-package/ApplySyntax.py", line 140, in syntax_matches result = self.function_matches(rule) File "/Users/mhenrixon/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/ApplySyntax.sublime-package/ApplySyntax.py", line 201, in function_matches function = self.get_function(path_to_file, function_name) File "/Users/mhenrixon/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/ApplySyntax.sublime-package/ApplySyntax.py", line 173, in get_function with open(path_to_file, "r") as f: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ApplySyntax/is_rails_file.py'

I am not sure what your problem is yet. First are you using the ST3 branch? The ST3 branch can find and use syntax files inside of sublime-packages. You can ignore Packages/Rails/Ruby because ST3 takes that path and resolves it internally using load_resources so that output can be a bit misleading. I use ST3 right now, and I have tested Rails and it seems to work fine. I don't think you are using the correct ST3 branch at all because your debug output lines don't match with the ST3 branches source code, but instead matches with ST2 branches source.

In short, use the ST3 branch and report back.

hmm so odd I deleted PM installed version and re-cloned from git and checked out the ST3 branch again (just like I had it before pulling changed on the ST3 branch and now everything was back to working again). The git pull must have gotten messed up or something. Maybe I pulled from master, that would explain it. I've done it before.

I have this problem again even though I checked out "ST3" branch.

ApplySyntax: Syntax file for ApacheConf does not exist at Packages/ApacheConf/ApacheConf.tmLanguage

This is what I've done:

Apply Syntax only sets the syntax. Some of the syntaxes in the settings you have to install yourself via PackageControl. Apply Syntax does not add any new syntaxes to your Sublime Text install.

I did installed the ApacheConf package but it goes to Installed Packages folder. This is the problem of ApplySyntax not be able to read from this folder and .sublime-package file, I suppose.

[facelessuser]

Apply Syntax can read from Installed Packages just fine. I added that code myself and use it as well. The problem is that the Apache package is installed with a different name now than it probably was at the time the setting was added. You need to change the setting to look for ApacheConf not Apache.

If that works for you, you can create a pull request.

[ngocphamm]

Could you please send me the zip file of the ApplySyntax you are using?

I'm not a Pythonist but I tried to read the code at https://github.com/facelessuser/ApplySyntax/blob/ST3/ApplySyntax.py. It doesn't really reveal anything related to using Syntax file installed inside Installed Packages/.

Of course I changed the detecting rule to ApacheConf. See below.

"syntaxes": [
        {
            // This doesn't really need to be here as ST2 identifies Apache files correctly, but I leave it
            // for instructional value
            "name": "ApacheConf",
            "rules": [
                {"file_name": "^.*(\\.htgroups|\\.htpasswd|httpd\\.conf|_htaccess|htaccess\\.txt)$"}
            ]
        }
    ]

And this is what inside Installed Packages

Sublime text takes care of "Installed Packages" if you use the format Packages/Plugin/mysyntax.tmLanguage.

Here you see I use load_resources to see if the file exists. Load resources can read files in installed packages zip archives. If it throws an error, I know it doesn't exist. If there is no error, I continue loading the syntax

            try:
                sublime.load_resource(new_syntax)
                self.view.set_syntax_file(new_syntax)
                log('Syntax set to ' + name + ' using ' + new_syntax)
            except:
                log('Syntax file for ' + name + ' does not exist at ' + new_syntax)

As for your problem, I made a mistake. I didn't realize that "tmLanguage" was now alos part of the package name. This works, I verified it myself (this looks in the package ApacheConf.tmLanguage for a tmLanguage file called ApacheConf):

{
            // This doesn't really need to be here as ST2 identifies Apache files correctly, but I leave it
            // for instructional value
            "name": "ApacheConf.tmLanguage/ApacheConf",
            "rules": [
                {"file_name": "^.*(\\.htaccess|\\.htgroups|\\.htpasswd|httpd\\.conf)$"}
            ]
        }

[ngocphamm]

Yeah. That works! Thank you for your attention. :+1:
