Vim plugins for development with Robot framework

FUNCTIONALITY

• {rtp}/after/syntax/robot.vim - Robot syntax plugin for text, space-delimited files.
• {rtp}/ftdetect/robot.vim - Robot filetype recognition plugin for text, space-delimited files.

INSTALLATION

Quickly install by:

• git clone git://github.com/mfukar/robotframework-vim.git
• cd robotframework-vim && cp -R * ~/.vim/

USAGE

• To enable syntax highlighting in vim, you may add this line at the beginning of a Robot Framework file(s):

  # -*- coding: robot -*-

• Alternatively, set the g:robot_syntax_for_txt global variable to treat .txt files as Robot files.

• Or to enable the syntax highlighting for just a specific file you can issue the following command from vim:

  :setf robot

robotframework-vim's Issues

Plugin is not pathogen-compatible on Windows 7

trailing comments should be highlighted

Currently it seems that only comments with the # character in the first column are highlighted as comments.

Comments trailing a command, or on their own indented line are not:

 Set Test Message  %{PATH}  # tbd: explain "why"
 # log  something

I think they should be.

Feature request: include AutoItLibrary syntax highlighting

It would be lovely for AutoItLibrary syntax also to be highlighted.
Thanks!

Syntax highlighthing for RF does not works on Vim v 7.3.429

I had update my Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04 and so vim was updated from 7.3.154 to 7.3.429. After this syntax highlighting
for Robot Framework files stop to work. Please help. Thak you.

Highlighted predefined keywords are highlighted even if they are only a part of another keyword

Library is a robot setting that is highlighted by the syntax file. Now, if I have the word Library anywhere, it is highlighted even if it is not part of the setting. And this is applicable to other words highlighted by the library.

I checked the syntax files. Seems to me, the only way to fix this would be to update the regexes to do some kind of lookahead and lookbehind matching for a non-space character. Are there any other ways that this might be fixed?

I am not that familiar with vimscript.

Update syntax with Selenium 1.7.0 keywords

Hi Michael!
Could you, please, update the syntax file with Selenium Library keywords (current version is 1.7.0)?
Thanks!

One double quote highlights whole rest of file as string literal

Given this

${string}=  Replace String  ${string}  "  ${EMPTY}

(should be string.replace('"', '') in python) .. while it is perfectly valid robot framework syntax, the highlighter marks the rest of the file green (in my color scheme). Any idea how to fix that ?
