Web mode regression: evil-matchit not being applied

[posva]

Hello,

After updating to the latest version (tested on the develop branch too), I found out that web mode is not working as well as before. More specifically the the evil-matchit doesn't apply. I tried toggling it with SPC : then evil-matchit-mode with no success. Here is a gif

I'm using == to indent the } at the end. Notice how I manually insert the matching } and '

The issue was opened a while back, it might be helpful if you could post your current system info.

This is what I'm seeing:

evil-matchit-mode is enabled when I open a .html file or switch to web-mode in a new buffer.

Therefore jumping between braces, quotes and tags by pressing: % works as expected.

You mentioned pressing == to indent the closing curly bracket, for me it auto indents after one or two seconds after typing }.

It sounds like you might be looking for smartparens to complete the closing pair. It seems to be disabled by default in web-mode.
