Syntax highlighting disabled when installing "with Vim 8 packages". #143

Closed istvanfedak closed 4 years ago

istvanfedak commented 4 years ago

Syntax highlighting doesn't work when opening a *.tf file after installing the package "with Vim 8 packages"

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run the following command in the terminal: $ git clone https://github.com/hashivim/vim-terraform.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-terraform

  2. Open a *.tf file

The syntax in the file wont be highlighted.

Thanks

This plugin is arranged in a very standard way, and works for lots of people. My first guess would be that you have misunderstood something about how to install Vim 8 packages, rather than there being a problem in this repository.

I don't use Vim 8 packages myself, but I expect that :help packages can help.

Please update here when you figure it out - even if this is not a problem with vim-terraform, maybe the next person will appreciate knowing what happened!

I was able to fix the issue by turning syntax highlighting on.

I added syntax on to my ~/.vimrc

Maybe you could add a line to README.md, since I was new to vim and thought the plugin would automatically turn on syntax highlighting.

Thanks for the help!
