Movefile syntax higlihgting about wordmove

[alessandro-fazzi]

I think that despite I'm really used to not have the extension, I'm totally with you. So if any follower of this conversation would not have something to argue, I'll choose to accept your reasons and implementations

[alessandro-fazzi]

Mmm...I think this was just a sort of borrow from Gemfile , Rakefile and families. I'm quite agnostic about the topic, so I'll let other maintainers drop some words on it.

Meanwhile: have you ever seen this ST package?

[Arkham]

I've added some code that should implement this, you should be able to use seamlessly Movefile, Movefile.yml or Movefile.yaml

Basically what @pioneerskies is correct: the Movefile is another child of the family of Makefile, Gemfile, Cakefile, Rakefile, which are all generally used without extensions.

This will get published in a new version before the end of the week, let me know if there are issues|

Hi,

Thank you for accepting and applying this change so fast.

@pioneerskies : I've added the ApplySyntax package to my ST and created my own rule to allow syntax highlighting on Movefile. Thanks.

[alessandro-fazzi]

@nlemoine you're welcome and we're glad of your contribuition

[nlemoine]

@pioneerskies Any chance you may mention in the docs that Movefile can also take the yaml or yml?

[alessandro-fazzi]

I could say yes, but I'd be happy to see a wiki contribution or a pull request against the README 💃
If you can't it'd be probably better to open a new issue in order to keep it in mind

[nlemoine]

No problem, I just wanted to ask before submitting a PR 😉

Just in case, I'm taking a chance to go further, would you consider default Movefile to become a Movefile.yml file (e.g. file created with wordmove init)?

As you explained earlier in this ticket, I know you borrowed this file name from some Ruby world convention (Gemfile, Rakefile, etc.) but:

• those files are ruby, not yaml
• those files come from widespread and well known libraries and are therefore recognized by most editors. Although Wordmove is an awesome package, I don't think code editors will add some rules for Movefile

I think it would bring some benefits and clarifications about the file format to Wordmove users:

• requires no extra editor configuration (adding a package, configuring it, etc.)
• automatic indentation detection (no need to mention some basic advices on yaml like those)
• automatic syntax highlighting in any editor

What do you think?

[nlemoine]

Thanks for considering the request. Let me know when you will start doing this, I can provide some help with the docs (I suck at ruby).

[nlemoine]

@pioneerskies Seems like no one have something to argue :)

Would you consider adding the yaml extension as the default behaviour?

[alessandro-fazzi]

@nlemoine you are "lucky" I've got a cold and I'm in the bed with my headache and bored as hell...and so #424 :P

Tests are passing. I'm going to di a live test before merging on master.

[nlemoine]

Sorry about that ^^ Hope you'll be better soon.

Thanks for taking care of this change. Since you're bored, sorry for being picky but could the default could be Movefile.yml? The shorter extension is kind of a convention when using YAML files (Symfony, etc.) and keeping the capital M will probably handle better some retro compatiblity/OS filesystem edge cases and cause less trouble and misunderstanding around Wordmove users.

Let me know if I can help.

Pls, let's discuss in the PR
