When in Rails - why does if <tab> generate a php snippet?

[saracen]

When I'm working on a .html.erb file in rails and I type:

Code: Select all

if <tab>

I get a php snippet as follows:

Code: Select all

<?php if (condition): ?>
 
<?php endif ?>

Any ideas why? I'm new to Sublime - awesome so far just trying to get the hang of it.

Also, on a related note, what is the snippet for generating an open and close erb tag

Code: Select all

<%= %>

Either with or without the "=" sign?

And is there an easy to view all the snippets along with their tab completion keys other than going into the filesystem and opening up each .snippet file?

Same problem here. In a file named example.html.erb using "HTML (Rails)" when I type "if <tab>" it returns a PHP snippet when it should be Ruby.
I'd normally just remove the PHP snippets but I have to maintain a legacy PHP app too.

Any help appreciated

Not sure about the first one, but I created a snippet that works well for <%= %> and <% %> tags.

Code: Select all

<snippet>
   <content><![CDATA[<%${1:=} $2 %>]]></content>
   <tabTrigger>&lt;</tabTrigger>
</snippet>


If I don't need the tag to output, I can just backspace the '=' after the first tab and then tab again to the middle; otherwise, if I do need the output, I just double-tab and I'm all set.

Hope this helps.

I'm getting PHP snippets showing in a html.erb file as well.

Thanks thetristan for the snippet. It was on my list of things to fix in my ST2 setup before I buy a license.

Using dev build 2207 and the context ST2 is using is "HTML (Rails)" so I don't know why PHP snippets are showing.

I'm assuming I could just delete my php snippets but I would prefer to not have to do that.

the problem is the scope[1] of the PHP snippets. For them it is 'text.html - source'. An .html.erb file has the scope 'text.html.ruby', this is included in the PHP snippets' scope.

I would consider this a bug, since I find it not useful to litter all text.html.* scopes with PHP snippets and suggest to limit their scope to text.html.php.

This is definitely the issue.

Adding a new Ruby/Rails 'else' snippet isn't very helpful, because then ST2 just prompts for which snippet to use. It seems like moving/removing the PHP folder (or just the offending snippets), then creating custom Ruby/Rails snippets is the only workaround until this bug is fixed.

Edit:
Another possible workaround might be to search out all instances of "<scope>text.html" in the ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/PHP folder and replace them with "<scope>text.php".

Has there been any movement on this issue? will it be fixed in a future release?
