[UDL] Labels highlight In Custom Batch Doesn't Work As Expected

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse Yes , yes !
Did I miss something in my setup?

Ekopalypse

No, I don’t think so - is the name really BatchNew?
It must be exactly the same as listed in the language menu.

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse
It’s actually User Defined language file - BatchNew (I tried this too, before checking for just BatchNew)
Please see below image

Ekopalypse

@Vin-dickator

OK- then it should be BatchNew, the other stuff gets automatically added.

excluded_styles = [1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23]

this means that regex matches do not get colored if one of the
styles is set to the positions of the match. Maybe you wanna start with
excluded_styles = [] to see if there is something set.

Ekopalypse

If this doesn’t work, can you post or link to the udl so that I can check this
on my side as well?

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse
Yes, I kept empty brackets for ‘excluded_styles’, still no change

Please click here to get the UDL

Ekopalypse

gimme a sec to check it.

Ekopalypse

Seems to work for me

Could it be that you did the changes but haven’t restarted npp?
If so, sorry, there is no restart mechanism in the script - maybe I should add one. What I do, normally, is to edit the script, then run another instance of npp to see if the changes are good and if not, close the new instance, reedit, restart a new instance …
Not very user friendly but most of the time I only need one or two shots to make it work and see if the changes are good.

Vin dickator

I actually did restart several times, I suppose I did a faulty installation with the PythonScript… I’ll redo that one more time,

Ekopalypse

@Vin-dickator

you can check if your PS installation is ok by opening the console from
Plugins->Pythonscript->Show Console
and enter something like notepad.getPluginVersion() in the run box

If this works, then installation is ok.

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse

I just did a new installation of the PythonScript (last time, manually through zip, this time through msi)

It’s strange, it does return the version, but it also shows other things for me

Ekopalypse

@Vin-dickator

that is actually a very old version. Any particular reason
why you need to use it? What is your npp version?
Can be checked from the ? menu->Debug info.

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse
Just haven’t gotten around to using the new version yet… planning for someday because mine is portable and has files mixed up inside…

Please see below debug info

Edit: oh you mean the python version… this is what came with the msi

Ekopalypse

@Vin-dickator

let’s see if we can make it work.
There are two lines here (saying two shoing four :-D )

            editor1.indicSetStyle(0, INDICATORSTYLE.TEXTFORE)
            editor1.indicSetFlags(0, SC_INDICFLAG_VALUEFORE)
            editor2.indicSetStyle(0, INDICATORSTYLE.TEXTFORE)
            editor2.indicSetFlags(0, SC_INDICFLAG_VALUEFORE)

replace INDICATORSTYLE.TEXTFORE by the value 17.
Hopefully this is the only missing declaration.

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse :'(

            editor1.indicSetStyle(0, 17)
            editor1.indicSetFlags(0, SC_INDICFLAG_VALUEFORE)
            editor2.indicSetStyle(0, 17)
            editor2.indicSetFlags(0, SC_INDICFLAG_VALUEFORE)

No change…

Ekopalypse

@Vin-dickator
is there a new error in the console?

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse

So, this time it says

Ekopalypse

That’s what I was afraid of.
Let me download 7.6.6 and PS 1.0.8.0 and see what needs to be changed. I don’t think I can finish this today but I promise
to report back tomorrow. Here we already have 10.pm

Vin dickator

@Ekopalypse I was about ask that :D

Please take your time,
21:55 now aswell

You have a nice dinner/good night :)

Thanks for your assistance so far

Vin dickator

Let me download 7.6.6 and PS 1.0.8.0

This, got me thinking… I thought I was already using the latest version of PythonScript based on this URL…

But was I wrong :o

I found the more latest version on GitHub
Guess, they abandoned the version on sourceforge website

and after installing the latest one, the code highlighting works perfectly!

Thanks a lot for the help!
