I maintain RLangSyntax, the syntax tool for R. I no longer do much R and have moved to SublimeText for most of my editing, but when I saw KomodoIDE X was out, I knew I would start getting issues in my repo, so I installed and tested it.
I tried with the Sublime Text-like interface (kudos for that) and got to “This package is not compatable with your version of Komodo.” I expected that; the total change I needed to do for 8->9 was iterating maxVersion in install.rdf.
First time I aborted. Tried again on suggestion of Nathan Rijksen and second time, I continued anyway. It seems to work to the same level as before; side by side comparison in 9 nightly and X show the same level of syntax highlighting. (Which makes me think I should find a better example and spend some time improving it.)
I got some unreadable alerts, grey on red was hard to read, saying I should check my error log. I don’t know where that is.
For the install.rdf, should I expect that 10 will mean X for maxVersion? And where IS my error log?
I don’t expect the format to change anytime soon, because that’ll break all the support stuff. How horrible would it be for me to make maxVersion 12 or 20 and trust that ActiveState will do the right thing?
I intend to make this minor change and make a new release before noon today. How soon will it be available?
Not a problem. I barely touch R these days. Everything I needed it for is automated, and the cool Data Science stuff isn’t my day-to-day. The previous update was entirely because people were trying to use RLangSyntax and getting errors, giving me github issues, and I thought this time I’d get ahead.
I can remove it from the package manager if you like. Currently if someone tries to install it on Komodo X they get a warning saying the addon is not compatible and are given the option to continue anyway if they wish.
