Plugin doesn't seem to recognize syntax #75

Closed miguellavalle closed 5 years ago

Hi,

This is a continuation to https://github.com/pearofducks/ansible-vim/issues/74. Trying to debug the issue, I added the following to my .vimrc:

map :echo "hi<" . synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name") . '> trans<' \ . synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name") . "> lo<" \ . synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name") . ">"

When editing this file https://github.com/miguellavalle/OpenStack-tools/blob/master/ansible/nova-net-migration/prep-compute-nodes-migration.yml, if I place the cursor on top of "name" in line 8, the echo I get is:

hi<> trans<> lo<>

So it's not recognizing the syntax. The only thinks that seem to be recognized are attributes like "path" in line 9 (hi trans lo and jinja variables and delimiters, like in line 13 (hi trans lo and hi trans lo). Would this be attributable toi the plugin?

No, this still doesn't sound like a problem with this plugin.

What do you get if you do echo &ft with that file open?

I get: ansible

I cloned this repo: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples. With the playbooks in this repo I do get what seems to be proper syntax highlighting. So it is something with my repo. Maybe I am missing files in my repo. What are the assumptions made the plugin in regards to the structure of the entire repo?

Now I know what the problem is: https://github.com/miguellavalle/OpenStack-tools/blob/master/ansible/nova-net-migration/prep-compute-nodes-migration.yml#L1. If your ansible project / repo is not structured with the correct directories to enable automatic file type recognition (as per https://github.com/pearofducks/ansible-vim#introduction), then that line has to be:

vim:ft=yaml.ansible:
