So, just like the title of the question entails, my .eslintignore is threated as a markdown file by prettier.
So tl:dr, I only recently started using eslint in projects, and I was surprised to see that when I ctrl+s to save the file, some of the entries were overwritten by prettier and replaced.
For example, stuff like
# Minified files
*.min.js
*.min.css
Would be formated to
# Minified files
_.min.js
_.min.css
I solved this by telling prettier to ignore the .eslintignore file by adding an entry to the .prettierignore file, but is this really the intended way of doing so?
The Background
(Within JetsBrains / WebStorm IDE) Initially I created a file called HelloWorldContainer - accidentally left out the .js extension (I meant to create HelloWorldContainer.js).
WebStorm asks what file type I would like that file to be (e.g. JavaScript? Text File? HTML? etc.). I accidentally hit the enter key - and WebStorm has treated it as a text file.
Realising my mistake, I renamed the file to HelloWorldContainer.js (adding that .js to the end`). Hoping this will change the file type back to a JavaScript file.
The Problem
For some reason, WebStorm is still "seeing" HelloWorldContainer.js as a text file??? (snapshot below). This is a problem as now my JavaScript Live Templates no longer load for this file.
Snapshot 1: showing HelloWorld.js as a JavaScript file, whilst HelloWorldContainer.js showing as a text file (huh?).
Snapshot 2: for HelloWorld.js, WebStorm knows it is a JavaScript file - Live Templates successfully loaded as a result. (Cmd + J)
Snapshot 3: for HelloWorldContainer.js, WebStorm (for some reason) fail to recognise it as a JavaScript file - the JavaScript Live Templates fail to load as a result. (Cmd + J)
How to I make WebStorm recognise HelloWorldContainer.js as a JavaScript file again?
Note: I've tried...
delete the HelloWorldContainer.js and recreate it again, WebStorm is still seeing it as a text file.
rename HelloWorldContainer.js to HelloWorldContainer2.js - WebStorm now sees it as a JavaScript file. But if I rename it back to original name, WebStorm sees it as a text file again. (I really want to call my file HelloWorldContainer.js! :-)
The Solution
Just tried out the solution provided below (by #LazyOne)- works like a charm! Some snapshots for note keeping...
Snapshot 4: remove the offending pattern.
Snapshot 5: WebStorm now sees the file as a JavaScript again!
Settings/Preferences | Editor | File Types
Locate Text entry in top list
Remove offending pattern from bottom list -- most likely will be HelloWorldContainer.js or very similar
Hit OK and wait till project will be re-indexed.
I inherited an old Zope project, and I am also new to Intellij.
Template files got the file ending .xpt (eXtended PageTemplates)
They contain mostly html, but also tal-tags, which either include syntax like person/getName or even "name python: user.getName()".
Currently, those files show white text on black background.
I want those file endings associated with html/xml whatever, so I get a better overview visually.
BUT I really need to keep the Intellij functions like refactor and find usages and so on working, so Intellij finds methods, which are only called inside those templates.
Any help is appreciated!
Go to File -> Settings -> File types. There in Recognized File Types you can find XML files template, then in Registered Patterns add your file pattern: *.xpt
In my Django projet, I have one models.py file that PyCharm is only partially syntax coloring: it's coloring the Python keywords and comments but not other things it normally does like coloring method names, keyword parameters. This is the only file in my project like this -- all other .py files are fully syntax colored.
It's the file name not contents that is the issue. I know this because when I rename the file, PyCharm immediately fully syntax colors it. When I rename it back to models.py, it goes back to partial coloring.
Note it's not just the syntax coloring that's off -- it's also other code analysis-related tools for this file.
What could be causing PyCharm to be treating this one file differently?
In the PyCharm status bar, there is a "Highlighting level" indicator. Clicking on it allows you to choose the highlighting level between "None", "Syntax" and "Inspections", and the selected value is persisted per file. Please try clicking on it and making sure that the level is set to "Inspections".
I accidentally created a file with no extension and I chose the wrong file type association. Text Document I think. I renamed it to have the .js extension which is what I wanted, but now it's stuck without any syntax highlighting. WebStorm doesn't treat it as a javascript file. I can't find anywhere to change how WebStorm treats this file. I've tried renaming it and renaming it back and that doesn't work. With any other name, (with a .js extension) it treats it as a javascript file, but not as the original name.
How can I fix this? The WebStorm documentation is no help.
In Settings (or Preferences for mac) > Editor > File Types you can edit patterns by which a file gets associated as some type or other.
If you select the patterns for a file type you have wrongly selected (in your case Text type) you can remove the filename pattern with which was created to associate you file's filename as a wrong type.
Then click Apply > OK
I've had this problem in php storm 8.0.3 on OSX.
I was struggling with a single file that had been added as a text file, but I'd typed in the .js extension.
I tried deleting and recreating, renaming and renaming back, deleting .idea altogether. Nothing worked.
I found that PHPStorm had added the entire file name to the list of patterns for a text file.
....
*.txt
myfile.js
... etc
This was obviously overriding all other settings. And futhermore it was in the IDE Config not the project config. So I'm guessing every other project would have suffered the same issue.
Once I knew where to look it was easily fixed.
Navigate to:
PhpStorm > Preferences > Editor > File Types > <highlight> Text files
Then find myfile.js in the Registered Patterns panel and delete it.
The file should immediately assume it's correct association.
Go to Settings->File Types and then click on "Text Files". You should see the file if you scroll down. You can then remove it with the association by selecting it and clicking the - (minus) button
Refer to File -> Settings -> IDE Settings -> File Types
In right select "Text files" in Reconigzed File Types then find in Registered Patterns your file and click remove your file
On Windows 8, I was able to remove the invalid association by going under File > Settings > Editor > File Types, then I selected "Text files" as the Recognised File Type and removed the invalid entry from the Registered Patterns block at the bottom.
So much answers and everything is close but no one as in my case.
A had an issue with .vue files. My old PHpStorm version did not track the .vue files, so I somehow associated them as .js files. However, this was a mistake because the syntax is different and I saw a lot of "mistakes" in the code.
Yeah, the solution is really in Settings (or Preferences for mac) > Editor > File Types dialogue. In the window you can see the list of possible associations. At the very bottom of the list you'll see the Vue.js Templates and I had no associations in the bottom window (see the pic), so I manually added *.vue association after clicking green "+".
I think this would be right for any proper file type added to PHPStorm. However, you can add your own file type.
In the new WebStorm versions we can click on the file, select the option Override File Type and change for the type that we want.
Selecting the Override File Type option:
Selecting the file extension:
I have found in phpstorm that I can use the Refactor > Rename... function to associate a file of unspecified file type (e.g. a name with no extension) with a file type.
For example if I have a bash script named do_the_things I can Refactor > Rename it to do_the_things.sh which causes it to pick up the bash highlighting, then when I Refactor > Rename it back to do_the_things it keeps the bash highlighting.
This works in PHPStorm, i can assume in WebStorm should be something similar
Go to Preferences directory
Here is how to find for your OS

Find a file YOUR_PREFERENCES_DIRECTORY/options/filetypes.xml
Edit it with any text editor and delete needed row, for example
<mapping pattern="delete.yaml" type="PLAIN_TEXT" />
Top Menu File->Invalidate Caches / Restart
Enjoy
In my case, the file in question, DepositBreakdownList.js, was associated with a "type" called "File type auto-detected by file content". Selecting it and then removing it (with the minus sign button) allowed the file to be treated as a proper JavaScript file again.
Until I did that, I was unable to use Live Templates associated with JavaScript, even though the file extension was .js, which was just maddening.
I've found a solution,
delete (o rename as .old) the file:
C:\Users\.PyCharmCE\config\options\filetypes.xml
Es:
C:\Users\goofy.PyCharmCE2018.3\config\options\filetypes.xml
After like an hour of searching and screwing around I found a fix:
I renamed the file (through the refactor command) to a temporary file name. Then I created a new file with the correct name with the .js extension and it worked, then I copied the code from the original to the newly created file with the correct extension.
I imagine selecting "new javascript file" and doing the same thing would also work.
