Sublime update

[Doug Hall]

I updated my Sublime editor this morning only to find that my Active4D library (.a4l) files are no longer syntax highlighted. All the .a4d files are fine. Sublime complains when I start it up with my Active4D Project folder, saying there's an apparent recursion within a "with_prototype" action (see enclosed screenshot). That may or may not be related though, because that's been happening for a while. The syntax highlighting of library files only started with the recent update. I made sure my '~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/active4D-st3' repository was up-to-date. Do you think you might have time to confirm and run down this bug? I really enjoy the syntax highlighting in Sublime.

Thanks,

Doug

Yeah, same here.

I pushed a fix to the repo, I assume Package Control will eventually notice it. I honestly can't remember how that works.

In the meantime:

1. Uninstall the Active4D package within Sublime and quit.
2. Go to https://github.com/aparajita/active4d-st3/tree/1.0.4, download the code as a zip.
3. Unzip and rename the folder "Active4D".
4. Move the folder to <data>/Packages  (<data> is ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/ on macOS).

That should do it. Note that previously entering "%>" within a control statement in a library would be marked as an error. Now it will turn everything after it into unhighlighted text.

Perfect. Thanks, Aparajita. Is there some reason why I should use the zip file rather than simply cloning the repository into my <data>/Packages folder (and maybe renaming the folder to Active4D)?

That would also work.

Aparajita, this recursion error is happening again in the recent versions of Sublime. Any chance you'll have time or the motivation to fix it? I understand, if not.

Unfortunately I have neither the time nor motivation to fix it. I suggest uploading the theme file to claude.ai or ChatGPT and asking it if it can fix it.
