Working here with a fresh install of 4126 and ColorHelper:

So, my question is are you using the default XML syntax or some other syntax? Are you using any ColorHelper settings overrides? Are you getting errors in the console?

From what I'm seeing, there are no issues.

[facelessuser]

Also, make sure you restart ST after installing (in case you haven't).

[alvarolm]

Have tried restarting and reinstalling multiple times, also I'm using the default syntax, tried with the default plugin settings and debug set to true, no visible errors from the console, seems very odd, here is all the console output:

I'm going to need some more information or something as I simply cannot reproduce using a clean Sublime install.

- ST ver.: 4126
- Platform: osx
- Arch: x64
- Plugin ver.: 6.0.3
- Install via PC: True
- mdpopups ver.: 4.2.2

Do you have ColorHelper accidentally disabled in Package Control? Has it ever worked for you before now? Does this happen with all tmTheme files or just a very specific one, and if so, can you point me to the tmTheme file.

I do use ColorHelper on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and I've not seen any issues myself. I'm not discounting your issues, but it sounds like you have something local that is interfering. I'm not sure if that is other plugins, or what.

I would consider potentially disabling certain plugins to see if that allows things to start working. I'm just not sure what is different about your environment vs mine.

[alvarolm]

of course.

Do you have ColorHelper accidentally disabled in Package Control? no, checked before and just stared disabling other packages thinking there may lay the culprit.

Has it ever worked for you before now?

no, I haven't seen hints working yet (will try with other file types), the color help commands work fine (color info, palettes etc), and the plugin seems to load perfectly in the console.

Does this happen with all tmTheme files or just a very specific one, and if so, can you point me to the tmTheme file.

Just checked with a css file, and it works as expected, while doing this just realized that in the lower right corner the syntax indicator appeared: "XMP (Plist)" happens with the command "UI: customize color scheme" changing to XML work as expected.

file source: https://pastebin.pl/view/4d617a9a

adding a color rule to consider xml plist resolves the issue:

        {
            "name": "XML (Plist)",
            "base_scopes": ["text.plist"],
            "color_class": "css-level-4",
            "scanning": [
                "text.plist -meta.tag.xml -comment -string, string.unquoted.cdata.xml"
            ]
        },

[facelessuser]

Okay, that makes much more sense.

It appears this is not a bug, but a currently unsupported syntax file, the exact syntax file remains to be declared. Support for a specific syntax file can be requested (or better yet a PR issued). As this issue does not declare a specific syntax file, there is nothing for us to do at this time. I will leave the associated PR open for a little in the hopes that the actual plugin providing the syntax file will be discovered and declared, but if not, I will likely have to close the PR as well.
