.nomad files aren't auto highlighted about vim-hcl HOT 13 CLOSED

Hi @mattleong! Yes, with this plugin you should end up with the file type nomad and the syntax hcl. The file type/syntax split is there to improve interoperability with other Vim plugins that might work specifically with either Nomad or Terraform files.

What does set filetype say to you on one of these files? What about set syntax? Do you use some other Vim plugins that might apply to Nomad files?

from vim-hcl.

set filetype says nomad. set syntax says nomad as well.

from vim-hcl.

Do you use some other Vim plugins that could perhaps set syntax=nomad for filetype nomad?

from vim-hcl.

Is there a way to find out how that got set?

Confirming that I do not use any other plugins that would do that.

Which Vim versions are you two using?

Is there a way to find out how that got set?

Yes, I just learned that there is. Give the command :verbose set syntax? to see what last set syntax.

@mattleong @i0rek Did you test :verbose set syntax? to see what last set syntax on a Nomad file?

from vim-hcl.

Just to add that the same is happening to me, but for Terraform files (.tf), while Terragrunt (.hcl) are working fine (I don't use Nomad).
When I manualy set ft=hcl, this is the output of verbose test:

  syntax=hcl
        Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim82/syntax/syntax.vim line 32

When I just open a .tf file it just says:

syntax=

And there is no highlighting.

Oh, and replacing terraform with hcl in ftdetect/hcl.vim:

- autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.tf      set filetype=terraform
+ autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.tf     set filetype=hcl

Fixes the issue for .tf files.

Thank you for the additional details, @orlvn.

I'm also using Vim 8.2, and unfortunately I still cannot reproduce the issue locally. However, I can see that this issue is affecting many. I believe that this issue originated with the commit 13020b3, which started using different filetype and syntax values for Nomad and Terraform. This was in response to #14, which was concerned with the compatibility between this plugin and some other plugins that expected filetype=terraform rather than filetype=hcl for Terraform files.

I will revert that commit for now. I spent some time yesterday studying the built-in plugins in Vim 8.2, and I couldn't find any file formats for which filetype and syntax didn't match. Therefore I think it's safer to just set filetype=hcl (or perhaps start using setfiletype, which does not override an earlier settting) also for Nomad and Terraform files.

#18 hopefully solved the issue for all of you.

Work perfect! Thanks!!!!
