random recognition of javascript files?

[petah]

Hi Eran,

It seems that CL recognizes javascript inconsistently, i.e. sometimes syntax highlighting works perfectly; at others it colors blocks of lines seemingly randomly.

The attached file is part of a C++ CL project; the js file gets fed to a 3rd-party application after my app launches, so it's really a resource file as far as CL is concerned. The javascript code isn't pretty, mainly because I'm a Lua-head and hence not exactly a javascript fan, but AFAIK it's valid syntax.

I know CL makes no promises outside C/C++ files (doesn't claim to be a generic editor supporting other languages) but am wondering what affects js recognition. It's the only js file in my CL project and I edit it pretty rarely; there seems to be no relationship between the js file's content and it being recognized, but I could be wrong.

Is there a log that could give me a clue to either enable or disable syntax coloring consistently? If there isn't and/or my question falls outside CL's scope I can configure CL to open it with an external editor like Geany but it'd be nice if I could stay within CL.

thx & cheers!

Which version of codelite are u using?
It works perfectly for me (Windows, codelite 5.3 - git)

Notice that I am using wxWidgets 2.9.5 - which has a much more up to date version of wxStyledTextCtrl which fixed various colouring issues (including sometime colouring grey blocks)

I'm using CL 5.3, compiled on July 25 from git and wx295, under Debian x64.

My problem is indeed that some blocks were colored grey and black.

I just built wx/samples/stc and opened the js file; it's completely grey but the code folding markers on the left seem to indicate syntax is properly recognized. When I open a cpp file it's fully colored as inside CL.

I'll look at the wxSTC doc for how/where syntax definitions are declared and any error indicators. I'll also do a rebuild all in case some older wxstc had been cached.

thx,
