Is there any documentation of changes needed to convert 1.5 bundles to work with 2.0? I dragged the 1.5 bundle to TextMate 2 and it asks if I want to install it. Click OK and nothing seems to happen. The bundle is not installed and no errors on the screen or in the log.
Thanks,

No conversion should be necessary.
Though if it’s an old bundle that uses ruby, then upgrading to Yosemite may require updating shebangs.

Does it not show up in the bundle editor?
Is the bundle online somewhere (so that we could try to reproduce)?

No, nothing shows up in the bundle editor for it. You can download it here:
http://pgedit.com/public/pgedit/pgEdit_TextMate_2.1.zip
or on github:
https://github.com/desoi/pgedit-textmate
I'm using Textmate 2.0b6.
Thanks,

Thanks, the issue is that the bundle contains a titlecased “Info.plist” where TextMate 2.0 only looks for the lowercased version (“info.plist”).
For now you can rename the contained “Info.plist” (to be lowercase) but I’ll make TextMate ignore the case of the file starting with next build.

Then TextMate 2.0 is wrong.

No, it shouldn't "ignore the case". It should look for titlecased "Info.plist" - to match what Apple looks for:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/CoreFoundation/Concept...
It happens that your lowercase "info.plist" might work on some people's machines, but you cannot rely on this: a folder that contains a lowercase "info.plist" can break against Apple's expectations, and this thing will then appear as a normal folder in the Finder, not a bundle. You should not _accept_ Info.plist; you should _require_ Info.plist, just like Apple.

TextMate bundles are *not* following the format of an application/framework bundle.
For example in an application/framework bundle the Info.plist is placed in a subfolder named “Contents” which is not the case for TextMate bundles.
So TextMate is not wrong, it follows the standard I did 10 years ago *inspired* by Apple, but with the info.plist in lowercase (and at the root level of the bundle).
I later made TextMate 1.x accept Info.plist as well, but from day one, the standard was info.plist, and that is what I carried over to 2.0.
That's odd, because the version of TextMate.app I have installed, 2.0-beta.6, shows a Contents folder containing an Info.plist file, just like all my other apps. I don't see an info.plist file anywhere.

We’re talking about the bundles, not the application.
Look in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles and select “Show Package Contents”. There you will find no “Contents” folder and all of the root level property lists are named “info.plist”.

Oh, I see. So it is not a bundle in that sense. Sorry about that. m.

Thanks, I was hoping it was something simple.
Interesting that Apple wants it to be an uppercase "I". I tried changing it in the Finder directly and with the Get Info dialog. It reverted back to uppercase. I had to use mv in Terminal.

I upgraded to version 2.0-beta.6.8 last night but it still won't work with Info.plist. I would be happy to just change it in the git repository, but I'm not seeing how to do that. I tried
$ git mv Info.plist info.plist fatal: destination exists, source=pgEdit.tmbundle/Info.plist, destination=pgEdit.tmbundle/info.plist
Do I have to delete it first and add it again? I was trying to just wait until it worked with the current release so I would not have to change it :).
Thanks,

No, I expect you can just do
$ git mv Info.plist foo.plist $ git mv foo.plist info.plist
You have to work around the fact that your file system is case-insensitive, that's all (so that Info.plist and info.plist are seen as identical). m.
