Expected Behavior

According to the official demo, the variables, methods, and classes in my sample code should be different colors, but that's not the case at the moment. However, when I tried to develop a Go program using Goland, I found that the variables of Golang could change the presentation. At the same time, in IntelliJ Idea, there are different colors for the nodes in xml and html, but there is still no color for the variables in JavaScript.

@izhangzhihao same for me, I was using this (payed) plugin before in AndroidStudio and now installed it in IntellJ Ultimate. But I can't make rainbow variables work for me.

local variable declaration has no color - I also observed that for a short amount of time (<1s) the declaration has a color and then, from one moment to another, the color will applied to the references of this variables. So kind of swapping is happening here

function parameter has no color

Could you please help me

[izhangzhihao]

pls uncheck this option and restart your IDE:

I already did this, nothing has changed then

[izhangzhihao]

So what other plugins or themes you have installed? Maybe a conflict between the plugin highlighting function?

[alexanderfilipzik]

only 3

[izhangzhihao]

Can you disable the other two plugins and restart your IDE then give it a try? Or try start editing the files to trigger the Editor re-highlighting? I need to reproduce your issue but I don't know how.

no luck with that, i tried semantic highlight with a vanilla installation of 2024.1 of IntelliJ Ultimate, and there it was broken also - so seems to be an issue on Jetbrains side.

I'm using this version now and everything works:
