Language Definition Inheritance/Injection (Shoulda/Rails bundle)

by Gabe da Silveira

Even though I'm #1498 I have to admit I'm quite a bundle newbie. One of the issues that I recently came across was that the Shoulda Bundle was not recognizing "context" and "should" blocks within test classes. This is important, because the symbol navigation is extremely useful for these. At first I thought there was maybe a conflict or something else going on, but when I moved these blocks into the root scope of the file they worked. I realized that the shoulda language was built on source.ruby.rails, which meant it wasn't being picked up inside source.ruby.rails.meta.rails.unit_test or source.ruby.rails.meta.rails.functional_test. I solved this problem by adding: { include = 'source.ruby.rails.shoulda'; }, to those definitions within the Rails bundle. However I feel dirty. First, because I'm hacking the Rails bundle to make another bundle work. This seems like it will make upgrading complicated since I don't imagine there is any kind of granularity with language updates. Secondly, it feels wrong for the Rails bundle to define an include of a language that is descended from the Rails bundle itself. Apparently TextMate handles this properly because it works fine, but it was a red flag for me. So I guess my question is am I doing this wrong? What do the bundle gurus have to say on the matter? -- Gabe da Silveira http://darwinweb.net

Re: Things to avoid

by brad tittle

The thing that caused the problem was -- "Edit each line in selection." I was able to edit the file without any problem by just doing a search and replace. I don't know specifically how edit each line in selection works, but I suspect that it involves quite a few Allocs, Like one for each line, possibly quite a few more for each line. I was just putting out a warning that you shouldn't edit the entire file with "Edit each line in selection". It could have just been my computer, but I suspect that I was abusing this wonderful feature into something Allan didn't imagine it to be used to do, because as an expert in line management he would never have gone down the path I did. I was just appending ",END_NOTE" to each line. This happened on a Dual Xeon Core 2 Duo Mac Pro with 1GB of ram ( inherited from our graphics guy who doesn't want to learn FCP).

Web preview and root-relative paths

by Gianni

In my html files I use root-relative paths such as: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/screen.css" type="text/css" /> The Web Preview does not work even though the path is also relative to the top level of the project, I have to use paths relative to the current document. <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/screen.css" type="text/css" /> Is there some way to get Web Preview to work with root-relative paths for html development? -Gianni

Theming help

by leif halvard silli

Hi. Some questions w.r.t. getting themes to work as I prefer: Firstly, the manual says [1] that "markup.heading.2.html" can be used in a language grammar. And then subsequently one may use that as a selector in a Theme. I have tried to use the mentioned selector in a theme made entirely from scratch, but whatever color I add for that selector, nothing happens to the styling of the <h2> tags or anything. Do I need to update the language grammar for HTML in order to get it to work or what? Secondly, Brilliance Black seems to be one of the richest themes arround, with colors for many languages. It has a HTML section. And below that it has a "markup" section. The markup selection has e.g. "markup.heading" and "markup.bold". I assumed that "markup.bold" would turn <b>text/</b> into bold face. But, no - doesn't happen. I have misunderstood something? Thirdly: Ideally, what I would like to see was a theme were the /text/ changed styling, more than the tags/code around the text. But TextMate appears to only be able to have one color for text, namely that of the "Foreground" color. Am I right? I hope not. Put on an edge, I would much rather have a permant color for tags etc, but differing colors for text, depending of the context. Can TextMate do this? Or may I just forget it at once? (I have used TextMate for a 2-3 years, but I only used the installed themes. And there are many things with it that I have not taken advantage of.)

Working with "$DIALOG", nib and shell

by Matthew Richmond

Greetings TextMate mailing list. Forgive me if this is child's play, i searched the list archives thoroughly before posting. I am trying (for many hours now) to open a .nib file created in Interface Builder using the "$DIALOG" command from a shell script. My general objective is identical to the screencast Allan created in 2006 (http://tinyurl.com/df3m9r). - Open a .nib file - Wait for user to close nib or hit a ok button - pass default parameters to the .nib - capture user input from the .nib to be used later in the .sh file. Currently i am trying to accomplish this with: "$DIALOG" nib --load ~/Desktop/Test2.nib --center --model '{ classPath = "foo"; }' --parameters '{}' That usually opens the .nib window, when i close the window all i get is an integer. Then it usually stops working all together, no matter how many time i try and execute the line of code (control - R) nothing happens, i have tried what Allan suggests in the post "So either press ⌃D to “close” stdin, or give -p '{}' as argument, and things should work as expected." And i cant get it to work, if i trash TextMate prefs and reinstall, it works for a bit more. I am not yet as familiar with Ruby as i would like to be and i have an immediate need to implement this within an existing bundle using shell. The screencast made it look so nice and easy...

Recursive parsing?

by Andreas Pardeike

Hi, last time I asked, this wasn't possible and I did not follow the latest development. So here's my question again: I have a custom html/php dialect. It contains of regions of code that is either html markup or php code. <php>...</php> and <htm>...</htm> Inside a php region, you can use <htm> and inside a markup region, you can use <php> which leads to recursive a structure that is very helpful for programming (at least for me) but harder to colorize, fold or autocomplete correctly. More complex example (outmost default is html markup): <html> <head> <php> echo convert($title); </php> <style> ..... </style> </head> <php> init(); </php> <body> Result: <php> if($someflag) <htm> <table border="0"> <php> foreach $row ($rows) { <htm><tr><td></htm> echo $row; <htm></td></tr></htm> } </php> </table> </htm> </php> </body> </html> Can I customize Textmate so its html and php modules identify my regions? /Andreas Pardeike

Use begin marker of a scope to end the previous one

by Pierre Morel

Hello, I'm trying to enhance the Matlab bundle. Especially by trying to make matlab and texmate to interact (shortcut to launch a script etc...). And I must say I'm pretty bad with shell scripts and regular expressions. I've nevertheless managed to do that, and now I'm trying to recreate matlab "cell mode" : matlab source files are scripts, and it is possible to divide the script in "cells". When you are in the (awful) matlab editor, you can run the current cell just with cmd+enter. This is very useful. The problem is that the cell separator is just a line like this : %% Title of the new cell ...That's it, there is no ending marker for a cell : the current cell ends where the new one starts ! What I've done now is creating a new "cell" scope delimited by these lines, but as soon as one "%% ...." line is used to mark the end of a scope, it can't be used to start the following one. Here's my descriptor. contentName = 'meta.cell.matlab'; begin = '%%.*$\n'; end = '%%.*$\n'; captures = { 0 = { name = 'meta.celltitle.matlab'; }; }; patterns = ( # Here I include all the other scope descriptors, because they can be contained in a cell ! ) For my solution to work, I then have to use two of these "%% ..." lines, one to end the previous cell scope, and one to start the new one. This means matlab files need to be modified to work, which is not so good ! Do you have an idea on how to solve this problem ? A linked problem (but less important) is that I can't get code folding to work with cells : a start marker can't be the same as an end marker. Thank you !

(LoadErrors)

by dmp

Hello, When accessing various bundle features I get (LoadErrors). This is on 10.3.9 using 1.5.7 (1436). On 10.4.9 same version, no errors. First question, is this version 10.3.9 functional. I could not find anything in the notes or on the site. If this is not a 10.3 issue then these are the errors I have been receiving: This is the Error I get issue php-help: /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/web_preview.rb:1:in `require': No such file to load -- erb (LoadError) from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/web_preview.rb:1 env: ruby -wKU: No such file or directory I also the this error when issue html tidy: env: ruby -wKU: No such file or directory I get both the above from numerous commands. I searched the thread, and based upon what I can find, I believe my environment variables are correct. One guess is an issue with this could be a result of an older Ruby install: 10.3.9 uses Ruby ver. 1.6.8; 10.4.9 uses 1.8.2. One post referenced a ruby test: feed these lines to Terminal do you see this output? ===== $ /usr/bin/ruby -r erb -e 'p url_encode("a test")' -e:1: undefined method `url_encode' for main:Object (NoMethodError) $ /usr/bin/ruby -r cgi -e 'p CGI.escape("a test")' "a+test" my results: $ /usr/bin/ruby -r erb -e 'p url_encode("a test")' /usr/bin/ruby: No such file to load -- erb (LoadError) But the suggestion confused me. Suggestions? Thank You, dmp

Things to avoid

by brad tittle

Another example of something to avoid, aka things textMate really wasn't designed for. -- Open a large file (mine was > 7000 lines) -- Select the entire file -- Edit each line in selection -- start typing. This brought the computer to its knees. My bad. Just thought y'all could have a laugh at my expense. There are, of course, at least a dozen other ways to do what I started to do: Filter through command, Command, Search and replace ( $ with [replacement value]), etc Tschuss, Brad Tittle Tech Support

problem with project plus and git: commits not properly recognized

by Max Lein

I'm using git to keep different versions and branches of my projects in repositories. Unfortunately, Project Plus does not properly recognize files that git watches as well as the status of files that it (correctly) recognizes as part of my git repository. I am using `freely' managed projects, i. e. those you can create via File > New Project and drag files into. I do not (want to) drag my whole project folder onto the TextMate icon. If I do that, Project Plus correctly labels the status of my files (part of repository or not, modified or not modified). The problem is not just cosmetic, I've discovered that files which Project Plus does not properly recognize are not part of commits! The solution is that you need to move the location of a file (e. g. by reshuffling or so), then, apparently, Project Plus updates the properties of all files. Is this a known problem? Max
