Recent Perl change to parsing extended regexps

by Dave Winzler

A recent change to the Perl bundle had the effect of highlighting large chunks of code as if they were match or replace statments. For example, it parses this line as if the slash were the start of a m/ regexp/ statement: local $/; It does the same to pretty much any line with a slash in it, for example when dividing two numbers. As a workaround I've added '#/' as a comment to the end of these lines, but I'm hoping that's a very short-lived hack ;) Many thanks in advance, - Dave

Fwd: [TxMt] TODO to ignore archive folders?

Web Preview broken?

by Martin Backschat

I'm editing a Dashboard widget as a TextMate project. It took me a while to figure out that **updates to CSS are not reflected in the Web Preview** of the corresponding HTML page of the widget. I can even completely delete the contents of the CSS file, and still, the preview renders with the old version of the CSS file. I tried Command-R, manual reloads in the preview windows etc - nothing worked except quitting and restarting TextMate, which is obviously not a satisfying solution. Do I miss something here? (For me, this feature seems to be broken, and I found some mailing list posting from 6 months ago; but I hoped that the current version has fixed these problems). My configuration is TextMate 1.5.3 (1215), Mac OS X 10.4.7 Latest update, No HTML/CSS bundle modified by me. Thanks for your help, Martin.

CSS (overtype broken/removed?)

by Josh

Before the last update I could type something like: div { color:red; } And all was well and good. Now TM throws a space in automatically which is fine. I just have to get used to that. But now I can't overtype the semi-colon. I used to be able when I got to then end of the statement type ";" and it would overwrite the one that was already there and place my cursor outside the statement. Now it puts 2 semi-colons and i'm still stuck in the statement. div { color: red;; } What happened to the ability to Overtype the semi-colons in the css context? And how do I bring it back? Josh

Navigating fields in templates

by Chris Rose

I'm not sure what the TextMate terms for this are, so please bear with me (I'd have searched the help file more thoroughly, if I knew the right terms) When, for example, creating a method declaration using m(tab) in the Objective-C bundle, you get this: -(id) method:(id)aparameter; (or something close to it). The caret is on the first id, which is selected. So far, so good -- type in, and the "id" is replaced, as expected, with what you typed. However, and this is probably something I just got used to with Eclipse, there doesn't seem to be a way to jump to, and select, the next replaceable field, for example the word "method", which is done by pressing 'tab' in Eclipse, navigating from field to field until all are set, with the last caret position being a specified insert position. I'm not sure I'm explaining myself well, but I hope that what I describe is fairly clear. So, is there a way to do this? If so, how? And, what is it called, so that I never have to ask this question again? ;) -- Chris R. ====== Not to be taken literally, internally, or seriously.

scoping blank lines

by Oliver Taylor

In my language I'm using: { name = 'meta.blank.line'; match = '^\n'; }, which works great for identifying blank lines. The problem comes when I get to the last line of the document. Textmate usually uses the character to the right of the caret for scoping, but when at the end of the document the scope switches to the left side of the caret. And because I'm on an empty line there's nothing to match. So is it even possible to scope the last line of the document when it's empty? I thought I had an answer with \z but Textmate doesn't seem to support \z in the language grammar - or maybe I'm using it totally wrong. Any help is appreciated. --oliver

Perl Language description misparses multiline regexen

by Joshua Keroes

To replicate: my ($match) = / \s* (match_me) /x; my $syntax_coloration_broken = 'from here down'; What appears to be happening is that the \s* is interpretted as a substitution, e.g. s*search*replace*; Suggestions on fixing thing? Thanks, Joshua

subversion bundle, handling SSL keys with passwords

by Chris Rose

To any users of the Subversion bundle: How can I add support for providing passwords to svn when I'm using DAV_SVN with SSL and key-based authentication? For example, right now in the svn info output, there are six requests for the password. If those are all ignored, I believe that I don't get an SSL connection, which is... undesirable. Any advice? I'm certainly willing to code the solution myself, if needs be. -- Chris R. ====== Not to be taken literally, internally, or seriously.

q regarding language grammars/begin/end patterns

by Patrick Gundlach

Hi there, I've got a new language for which I'd like to create a new grammar. It's a LaTeX alike language, but environments look like this: \startsomething \stopsomething The language grammar doesn't seem to accept the backslash (it does so in the LaTeX bundle, so I must be doing something wrong). The following works fine: { name = 'meta.foo.bar'; begin = 'xx'; end = 'yy'; }, and in my text between 'xx' and 'yy' the scope is also 'meta.foo.bar'. But when I chage the grammar to { name = 'meta.foo.bar'; begin = '\\xx'; end = '\\yy'; }, I can't see that the scope changes to 'meta.foo.bar' within \xx and \yy. Can somebody tell me what to do?

Use PPI for Perl parsing?

by Joshua Keroes

The PPI module[1] on CPAN is designed to parse Perl (no small task there). It was designed for projected /exactly/ like TextMate. Why is PPI worth looking at? A few brief reasons: 1. It parses Perl wiithout executing it, so stuff like 'BEGIN {system "rm -rf ~"}' won't do naughty things. For the record, Textmate doesn't suffer from this problem. 2. It can parse 99% of the documents in CPAN [2] Comparatively, TextMate isn't quite there yet. :-) 3. It's fast enough [3]. I watched a demo at OSCON 13 months ago with a demo of PPI parsing the contents of a generic wx-based editor [4]. It responded in real-time. TextMate is probably faster because it parses a smaller DOM than PPI. The module PPI::XS, a Perl-C tokenizer hybrid, is an attempt to write a faster tokenizer. 4. The Perl DOM class tree looks sane enough to use as the basis for colorization. There are 62 classes, which should map neatly into the TextMate model [5] 5. Adam Kennedy, the author, is a fantastic guy. He stayed at my place for that OSCON. Not to put words in his mouth, but I'm sure he'd be delighted to offer help integrating his baby into TextMate. 6. Once integrated, TextMate would benefit from future PPI improvements for free. And PPI is under continual development since 2001. Updates are released about every two months, the most recent being today, Sep 2. Thanks for entertaining this idea, Joshua [1] http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/PPI-1.117/lib/PPI.pm [2] http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/PPI-1.117/lib/PPI.pm#How_good_is_Good_Enough(… "The goal for success was originally to be able to successfully parse 99% of all Perl documents contained in CPAN. [...] At time of writing there are only 28 non-Acme Perl modules in CPAN that PPI is incapable of parsing. Most of these are so badly broken they do not compile as Perl code anyway." [3] http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/PPI-1.117/lib/PPI.pm#The_Tokenizer "The target parsing rate for PPI is about 5000 lines per gigacycle. It is currently believed to be at about 1500, and main avenue for making it to the target speed has now become PPI::XS, a drop-in XS accelerator for PPI." (At the time of this writing, PPI::XS is in the proof-of-concept stage) [4] http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/PPI-Tester-0.06/ A wxPerl-based interactive PPI debugger/tester [5] http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/PPI-1.117/lib/PPI.pm#The_PDOM_Class_Tree

svn hangs

by Lewis Overton

I run a script to update bundles. At the moment it seems to hang trying to update Rails. Anybody know what's happening and what to do about it? Everything seems fine until near the end of the process, when I see: Fetching external item into 'Bundles/Rails.tmbundle/Support/plugins/textmate_footnotes' External at revision 121. Fetching external item into 'Bundles/Rails.tmbundle/Support/plugins/engines' ... and there it sits. The script is #!/bin/sh cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/ /usr/local/bin/svn up osascript -e ' and has been working for months. I tried exiting terminal, which ended the script but left "engines" locked. svn cleanup resolved that. PowerBook G4 12"/Mac OS X 10.4.7

Specifying Folding Regions in PHP

by Derek Belrose

I have a strong background in .NET and Visual Studio 2003/2005. I'm used to being able to wrap blocks of code around #Region "Fold this" and #End Region markers and the UI would allow that block of code to fold up. Is there a way of doing this in Textmate with the PHP bundle or any other bundle? I figured I'd ask before trying to reinvent the wheel. Thanks! Derek

Hi all, I am having trouble with the Go to File command. It works fine from the menu bar, but command T does not trigger it. I have double checked and I have not assigned command T to any other command and I have not created any ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict. I am using TextMate Version 1.5.3. Any help debugging this would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. All the best, Mark

Re: [TxMt] java ant [run]

by Jerzy Gangi

Allen - Cool, thank you. So: 1) Yes, when I was using XCode bundle I was doing the Build & Run command. I did NOT import, but followed directions someone had (maybe it was on your wiki) put the textmate project file and the xcode project file in the same path. Again, that seemed to work, but was not getting anything "back" from ant. 2) I have been doing this on my new Macbook pro and I haven't touched the /etc/profile or ~/bash_login or ~/bash_profile. I followed the directions on 8.2 Search Path: my bash_init.sh and ~/.bash_profile are identical to the ones in the manual. No luck - same problem: ant runs, when you quit the app, everything displays. 3) I did check in the shell (using Terminal) and running ant there works as in XCode: the targets are displayed as they are run, and my lovely println() statements shine thru. Sorry, I've never done anything beyond creating symbolic links and using top in the shell. Not really my forte. But your wiki pages are nice and helped, on this subject and everything else I've referenced. -Jerzy

Error with Ruby->Run Rake Task

I'm using the latest TM, with /Library/Application Support/TextMate updated from svn. TIA Jon

java ant [run]

by Jerzy Gangi

Hi there - I'm relatively new to TextMate, trying to decide if I will buy it (99% sold right now). Previously on XCode - I'm developing a Java application w/swing, using ant to build. When I do ⌘ (open apple) + B to build my TextMate project, and select "1 Ant", the build / Ant window pops up. The jar launches, and runs, but none of my debug println() statements show up in the ant window until I: 1) close the jar myself (aka the program exits), or 2) I force the jar to quit in the build / Ant window. So after the app quits, the entire Ant output shows up for my targets, with my debug println()'s at the bottom. Is there any way to make the Ant display in TextMate "live?" Or not? Or am I just missing something really basic? Also, tried to use XCode bundle for the same thing. This will not display anything until the app closes, at which time it displays the full build output and my println's. Which, again, is good... but a few minutes after I need them. Just as a point of reference, XCode does display my debugging println()'s as the app is running in it's console window. Help! I want to use TextMate! Thanks, Jerzy G.

Bundle for Stata

by Timothy Beatty

I've put together a very basic/simple/uncomplicated/doesn't do much bundle for Stata, available at: http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/people/timothy.beatty/page10/page10.html I'm new to Textmate and so I'm sure the bundle could be improved upon (there are certainly both typos and thinkos). If anyone has helpful suggestions, particularly Stata users, they'd be very much appreciated. Thanks, Tim

TODO to ignore archive folders?

by Andreas Duus Pape

Hello. I have folders throughout my project called /archive/, in which I put old versions of things. I would like the "Show TODO List" command to ignore everything in any folder named archive/. Any ideas on how to do that? I looked at the Show TODO List Ruby script, but I don't know Ruby at all and it was not obvious to me how I would modify (a copy of) the script to ignore specific subfolders. Thanks! --Andreas p.s. I use hard folders in my projects, and would like to continue to do so. Moving the /archive/ folders out of the actual folders on my HD is not an option. However, if there was some way to surpress those subfolders from appearing in the project at all (other than actually removing them), that would be fine. Unfortunately, deleting the references in the project is insufficient; the files in /archive/ nevertheless have their TODOs appear in the list.

Possible fix for strange behavior with AFP volumes

by Trevor Harmon

I used to be able to open remote files in TextMate by mounting the remote directory via the Apple Filing Protocol [1]. Somewhere around TextMate 1.5.2 (I think), this stopped working for me. TextMate's open file dialog showed the volume as empty (?), and dragging and dropping files from the remote volume onto the TextMate icon would do nothing. Other applications, such as TextEdit, did not have these problems, so I figured this was a new TextMate bug. I went back and loaded a copy of TextMate 1.5.1, and it worked fine. I thought this proved the issue to be a regression, but when I closed 1.5.1 and opened 1.5.3 again, it suddenly started working fine, too! So I don't know what's going on, but if anyone has problems opening files via AFP, going back temporarily to TextMate 1.5.1 might magically fix the problem. At least it did for me.

Folder Names in Main Title Bar will not updated after save as

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Dear all, I wonder if this a bug or not. If I'm open maybe three selected files in the Finder with TextMate it opens the project folder and all three files are listed. Fine! If I click at one file TextMate opens it and writes the name and the folder into the title bar. E.g. file index.html folder gnu > title bar 'index.html - gnu' OK But if I save this file called 'index.html' into an other folder, e.g. 'bear', then I would expect that the title bar will change into 'index.html - bear' !? Or I'm totally wrong. My problem is that I'm often editing some files with the same name but in different folders at the same time. So, I need an info which file I'm editing. Many thanks in advance! Cheers, Hans

Double click between words

by Mark Lacas

Hello, I've done some experiments with double clicks between words and it seems inconsistent and not very useful compared to BBEdit. I've been trying to switch from BBEdit in all cases but am finding it sometimes difficult and extra work and clicks. When I double click between two words: Series of spaces get selected - correct One tab - selects the word before the tab instead of the tab - wrong Series of tabs - selects the tabs - correct Series of spaces framed by words with single quote or double quote - selects the spaces and the quotes - wrong Series of tabs framed by words with single quote or double quote - selects the tabs and the quotes - wrong Series of spaces framed by words with $ - selects the spaces and the $ - very wrong, really messes up perl Series of tabs framed by words with $ - selects the tabs and the $ - very wrong, really messes up perl Why would it try to remove the $ in front of variables when all I wanted to do was remove the spaces or change them to tabs? In all cases it seems the invisible space between the words should be selected, but nothing else. Thoughts anyone? Thanks, ml
