Is it possible to somehow test the implementation of a language grammar? Something besides manually visually looking at code parsed by the language grammar.
What I would like to is to ensure that a given piece of code is correctly recognized/parsed and gets the correct scope.
In theory it doesn't sound that difficult. If one could say, for this line and this column I expect the scope to be something.

yes it is possible. Allan released a tool to unit-test TextMate grammars here: http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2010-May/030881.html

That looks really interesting. I'll definitively have a look. Is someone actually using that? I can't remember seeing anything in a bundle that uses this.
