Trying to get ruby's functionlist to work with .cr files

[Girng Rodriguez]

Hi everyone! I’m a crystal dev and I’m fiddling around with C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\functionList.xml and found the ruby associate id part:

<association id= "ruby_syntax" langID="36" />

In fact, the functionList expressions work great for .cr files too, the problem is, notepad++ doesn’t detect when I’m editing a .cr file to apply the ruby functionList rules.

I read online you could add a ext attribute like so:

<association id= "ruby_syntax" ext=".cr" langID="36" />

But when editing a .cr file it still doesn’t apply, any help is appreciated!

@Girng-Rodriguez ,

The extension-based function list hasn’t worked since it was changed in late 2020 in v7.9.1

If you want *.cr to be associated with Ruby, then go to Settings > Style Configurator > Ruby and add cr to the user-extension list. (And that worked even before v7.9.1)
