Auto-close problems

[redtopia]

The auto-close feature appears to assume that all CF tags need to be closed. In my codebase, it's common not to close the ones that are not required to be closed (<cfset> and <cfmodule>). Other problems:

<script> - not closed correctly
<cfcatch> - not closed at all
<cfelse> - closed with </cfelse>

[redtopia]

I am also finding it impossible to turn off this feature. In my package settings for "Settings - User", I have "auto_close_cfml": false set, but the package still auto-closes.

[redtopia]

Bump... I am finding it incredibly frustrating to work with the constant incorrect auto-close markup insertions. Is there any way to turn this feature off until it works better?

I don't know I've been busy with devops stuff. Are you using the development branch for ST3?

[redtopia]

I'm using the latest beta... build 3065

[redtopia]

Any movement on this... there are numerous problems with this feature and all I want to do is turn it off. Here's one that messes me up all day long:

    <cfif NOT IsDefined("Session.mlErrors")>
        <cfset Session.mlErrors = []>
    </cfset>

As you can see, autoclose is trying to close cfset.

I realize I could modify my coding and close all CF tags, but I would much rather simply turn this feature off. Is there any way for me to do that????? PLEASE HELP!

You can remove the ">" keybinding in the CF package all together if you don't want autoclose but disabling it via settings works for me.

Here's my User Settings under: Package Settings -> ColdFusion -> Settings - User

{
    // setting this to true will enable verbose tag completions
    // cf10 only for now
    "verbose_tag_completions": false,

    // will close block coldfusion tags on ">" keypress
    "auto_close_cfml": false,

    // will auto indent tags on auto_close_cfml
    "auto_indent_on_close": false,

    // enables method completions in cfscript components
    "component_method_completions": true,

    // cf7, cf8, cf9, or cf10
    "dictionary": "cf10"
}

Here are the default package settings: Package Settings -> ColdFusion -> Settings - Default

{
    // will close block cfml tags on ">" keypress
    "auto_close_cfml": false,

    // will auto indent tags on auto_close_cfml
    "auto_indent_on_close": true,

    // enables method completions in cfscript components
    "component_method_completions": true,

    // railo4, cf7, cf8, cf9, or cf10 (restart required)
    "dictionary": "cf10"
}

I just installed the latest release of ST3 (3066), and restarted. With the settings above, I cannot turn off this feature. I've restarted... autoclose continues to happen. Going the other route, by changing the key bindings, I'm assuming I would need to add something in the Key Bindings - User for the ">" key. In the Key Bindings - Default, I see this:

// Auto-close ColdFusion block tags
{ "keys": [">"], "command": "close_cftag", "context":
    [
        // selectors aren't working as I expect, we'll just use general scopes here
        { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "text.html.cfm, source.cfscript.cfc"},
        { "key": "following_text", "operator": "not_regex_contains", "operand": "^>", "match_all": true }
    ]
},

Exactly what should I do to this, and should I edit the Key Bindings - Default file, or add something to the Key Bindings - User file?

Is this project dead, or will is any work being done to support ST3? I really need a solution to this problem or I need to find a new editor.

[jimpriest]

This project is open source, free and hacked on by various people in their free time.

The important part is 'in their free time'.

There are two things in play here, Sublime Text, which you've indicated you are using the latest version of (3066), and the CF package.

Are you using the latest 'develop' branch of the CF package? Installation instructions are outlined at the top of the README.md file of this Github project.

[jimpriest]

I'm running a recent version of ST3 and the development branch of this package (on Windows).

I turned auto_close_cfml to false and if I now type it no longer automatically creates the closing , so it does appear to work.

[redtopia]

I don't have git installed... can I download the zip folder and unzip it into my packages folder? That's how I originally got it working.

[jimpriest]

That should work. Change the branch on Github to "Development" and then when you download the zip it should be 'development.zip'.

Then unzip and figure out where your 'Packages' directory is. What OS are you using?

[redtopia]

Thanks... I'll try reinstalling. I'm running Windows 7.

[redtopia]

Still not working. Here's my test case, which demonstrates the problems I'm having with this package.

<cfif x EQ 1>
    <cfset y = 1>
</cfset>

After typing x EQ 1>, the suggestion menu is highlighted to "bitMaskClear", so if I hit the ENTER key, bitMaskClear is inserted into my code. I have to hit ESC first, which is also a huge problem I need to fix. Then, I enter cfset y = 1>, no problems... phew! Then I enter </ and as soon as I enter the forward slash, auto-complete tries to close my cfset tag.

Is there anything I can do to make this work better?

Let's start by trying to get a super-clean repro. Remove or disable all other pugins except this one and make sure your problem still exists.
