Color highlighting does not work with .sass or .scss files upon opening them about vim-css-color

[ap]

What does Vim say if you move the cursor somewhere into the rgb part and type this?

:echo map(synstack(line("."), col(".")),'synIDattr(v:val,"name")')

(And for completeness’ sake: what it does say when you do that within a #xxx hex colour or on green etc?)

Here is what is returned when I run :echo map(synstack(line("."), col(".")),'synIDattr(v:val,"name")') while the cursor is over different color declarations:

background: rgba(5, 205, 0, 0.5);  => ['sassDefinition', 'sassCssAttribute', 'cssValueNumber'] 

background: rgb(5, 205, 0); => ['sassDefinition', 'sassCssAttribute', 'cssColor05cd00']

background-color: #ffffff; => ['sassDefinition', 'sassCssAttribute', 'cssColorffffff'] 

background-color: yellow;   => ['sassDefinition', 'sassCssAttribute', 'cssColorffff00']

Curiously – the rgb() one looks right, and should already be highlighted. Isn’t it?

[siddhion]

When ever I open a .sass file that has an rgb() defined in it, it is not color highlighted. same problem with the rgba(). Hex values and color names are highlighted fine upon opening a .sass file that contains them. I must stress that this problem only occurs upon opening of the .sass file. Once I open it and then edit an rgba() or rgb() value, it will immediately get color highlighted.

From the test results above – was the one from the line with the rgb() function after editing or before?

[siddhion]

The one from the line with the rgb() functions (color highlights) only after editing the color value. It is not functioning upon opening a .sass or .scss file. Same problem with rgba().

[ap]

OK, good. I was worried that the colour wasn’t showing up even though the highlight rule for it had been correctly created and had matched, in which case there would have to be something deeply wrong that I don’t understand. I’m still having trouble understanding why the script’s first pass is failing, but at least I understand what the problem is.

[siddhion]

oh good. yeah I wonder why the script is not working at the beginning. I wonder why it would kick in when an edit is made only. well I hope you can figure this out. it would be really great!

[ap]

@siddhion: Can you give the latest version a shot and tell me if this is still not working correctly for you?

[siddhion]

I can't since I switched to Sublime. Old VIM data is gone. I neeed a more reliable editor.

I’m closing this as works-for-me then.
