No highlights showing

[MorningGlory747]

Hello, this is probably pretty dumb, but I can't seem to find an answer for this

I'm using Vim v8.0 on a WSL and I can't get any highlights from vim-python (unused imports, unused arguments, misspelled names, etc.)

Here is the vimrc and i'm using vim-plug

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')           
Plug 'altercation/vim-colors-solarized'                         
Plug 'jnurmine/Zenburn'             
Plug 'vim-python/python-syntax'            
call plug#end()                          

if has('gui_running')               
    set background=dark           
    colorscheme solarized                                                                                                                                                                                                    
else
    colors zenburn
endif

set number

filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

I executed :PlugInstall as well.

And a look at my ~/.vim/plugged

>> ls
python-syntax Zenburn vim-colors-solarized

What could I be doing wrong/missing? Thanks

Don't you get any syntax highlighting at all? Try adding let g:python_highlight_all = 1 to the end of your .vimrc to enable all features. See the README for other options.

Not OP, but I installed this a while back and didn't realise that g:python_highlight_all is off by default. For a while I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any changes (and I'm only admitting to this because I saw this issue :laughing: )

Maybe having g:python_highlight_all = 1 by default would be more in line with other plugins? If someone has installed this, it's probably because they aren't happy with the default syntax file.
