CoffeeScript Syntax-Highlighting does not work #2106

Closed hoffi closed 9 years ago

hoffi commented 9 years ago

The Syntax-Highlighting for CoffeeScript does not work for .coffee files.

When i rename my CoffeeScript file to .js it does work however.

ryanlntn commented 9 years ago

I'm seeing the same issue. Mode doesn't change unless the file extension is .js. Not even .js.coffee works.

bmag commented 9 years ago

What is the value of auto-mode-alist? (type SPC h d v auto-mode-alist) If you add this line to your dotspacemacs/config, does it work?

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.coffee\\'" . coffee-mode))
ryanlntn commented 9 years ago

Adding that to dotspacemacs/config gives me File mode specification error: (void-function coffee-mode)

The value of auto-mode-alist is:

I am assuming you got the mode specification error when you tried to open a coffee file.

Good news: emacs tried to open your coffee file in coffee-mode. Bad news: coffee-mode was not loaded yet. To load coffee-mode, add this line before changing auto-mode-alist:

(require 'coffee-mode)

In theory, coffee-mode should be auto-loaded when it's needed so you shouldn't be getting this error at all. There could be a few reasons for coffee-mode not being loaded:

Out of curiosity, what happens if you try to open a 2nd coffee file (after you already received the error once)?

ryanlntn commented 9 years ago

If you enabled the javascript layer, it should install coffee-mode for you.

Thanks for this. I'm still very new to Spacemacs (and Emacs for that matter) and didn't realize I had enable the configuration layer. Adding this line to ~/.spacemacs resolves the issue:

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(javascript))

bmag commented 9 years ago

Great. By the way, I hope you didn't literally put that line in your config. There should already be a dotspacemacs-configuration-layers variable in your .spacemacs, you should just add javascript to it. You can search github for examples (searching "spacemacs config" gives me some results).
