JetBrains product versions 2019.2 introduced support for 20+ languages (1) out-of-the-box by integrating TextMate (2) schemes. Unfortunately this resulted in a change for existing theme definition where some editor color scheme keys that previously inherited the best matching global key now used the attributes defined by the parent theme "Darcula". Therefore Nord's highlighting for JavaScript broke and required to explicitly define the values for some attributes in order to achieve the same highlight like in previous versions that are matching Nord's style guidelines: - `JS.GLOBAL_FUNCTION` — Map to `DEFAULT_FUNCTION_DECLARATION` - `JS.GLOBAL_VARIABLE` — Map to `DEFAULT_GLOBAL_VARIABLE` - `JS.INSTANCE_MEMBER_FUNCTION` — Map to `DEFAULT_INSTANCE_METHOD` References: (1) https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/#v2019-2-editor (2) https://macromates.com GH-77

This commit implements a change for the meta-issue GH-120 that collects and aggregates all information regarding the problems related to "randomly breaking syntax highlighting". There is an continuously increasing amount of issues related this bug were the root cause is still a mystery. The following timeline shows the problem based on reported issues in this repository. >>> 2019-07-31 - First breakages of Go & JavaScript syntax since IDE versions 2019.2.x The first cases are documented in GH-69 & GH-77 where the syntax highlighting of some Go & JavaScript elements were wrong after updating to IntelliJ version 2019.2.0, the update that introduced support for 20+ languages [1] out-of-the-box by integrating TextMate [2] schemes. It resulted in a change for some Go & JavaScript editor color scheme keys that previously inherited the best matching global keys, but used the attributes defined by the parent theme "Darcula" after the update instead. Therefore Nord's highlighting for Go & JavaScript broke and required to explicitly define the values for the some attributes (merged in GH-70 & GH-78) in order to achieve the same highlight like in previous versions: A comparison of the changes between Nord plugin version 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 [3] shows that there were absolutely no changes to the editor color scheme related to the highlighting of Go & JavaScript code. To this time the guess was that the root cause was the integration of "TextMate" themes and the "fixes" have been released in version 0.8.0 [4]. >>> 2019-12-02 - Second breakage of Go syntax since IDE versions 2019.3.x The second case is documented in GH-108 where the syntax highlighting of some Go elements were wrong again after updating to IntelliJ version 2019.3.0. A comparison of the changes between Nord plugin version 0.8.0 and the time the issue was created (2019-12-02) [5] shows again that there were no changes to the editor color scheme related to the highlighting of Go code. An interesting observation was that the wrong highlighting could be fixed by disabling and enabling the Nord plugin again without restarting the IDE (deny/postpone to later when the question dialog shows up). Again, the "fixes" were then released in a the new plugin version version 0.9.0 [6]. >>> 2020-01-28 - Another breakage of JavaScript & TypeScript syntax in IDE versions 2019.3.x On 2020-01-28 a new issue has been created that describes the breakage of the syntax highlighting for JavaScript as well as TypeScript (which inherits values from the JavaScript editor scheme keys) in GH-115. This is really strange since the affected elements were fixed in GH-78 [7] to mitigate the first breakage! To fix the problem again, the color definitions were then defined explicitly in GH-116 [8] instead of relying on the non-working inheritance of other theme keys. The comparison of the changes between Nord plugin version 0.9.0 and the time the issue was created (2020-01-28) [9] again showing that there were no changes to the highlighting of JavaScript or TypeScript syntax elements in the editor color scheme. It was also possible again to temporarily work around the problem by re-enabling or even re-installing the plugin. This definitely shows that the root cause must be somewhere in the way the IDE loads themes and how editor color scheme keys are inherited from other keys. Again, the "fixes" were then released in a the new plugin version 0.10.0 [10] on 2020-02-11. >>> 2020-02-11 - Now PHP and general "markup" languages are also broken... The latest case occurred only several hours after [Nord plugin version 0.10.0 [10] was deployed and made public through the "JetBrains Plugin Marketplace". This time the highlighting of strings and comments in PHP, Markdown font styles (bold & italic) as well as other elements of "markup" languages are broken. Again, a comparison of the changes between Nord plugin version 0.9.0 and 0.10.0 [11] shows that there no changes to the highlighting for editor color scheme keys for PHP, Markdown or any "markup" languages or "Language Default" styles. During the testing of Nord plugin version 0.10.0, that was released to fix the problems of the broken JavaScript & TypeScript highlighting, there were no problems regarding "markup" styles and all elements were working fine in Markdown files. Right after deploying the plugin to the "JetBrains Plugin Marketplace", the highlighting suddenly broke "out of nowhere" after updating the plugin for my IntelliJ. >> Conclusion These random breakages "drive me nuts" and it's frustrating as a theme author to no being able to track down the root cause. Since the problem occurs randomly, but can also be temporarily mitigated through one or more plugin re-activation or re-installations, the problem origin must be a bug in the IDE itself. >> Mitigation Steps This commit implements a workaround to prevent more styles from breaking. It replaces all editor color scheme keys that inherit values from other keys with the explicit style definitions instead. This causes the code of the editor scheme to increase drastically due to duplicate and repeated styles, but it currently the only way to work around this non-working style inheritance in the IDE theme API.

JetBrains product versions 2019.2 introduced support for 20+ languages out-of-the-box by integrating TextMate schemes.
Unfortunately this resulted in a change for existing theme definition where some editor color scheme keys that previously inherited the best matching global key now used the attributes defined by the parent theme Darcula. Therefore Nord's highlighting for JavaScript broke and required to explicitly define the values for some attributes in order to achieve the same highlight like in previous versions that are matching Nord's style guidelines:
JS.GLOBAL_FUNCTION— Map toDEFAULT_FUNCTION_DECLARATIONJS.GLOBAL_VARIABLE— Map toDEFAULT_GLOBAL_VARIABLEJS.INSTANCE_MEMBER_FUNCTION— Map toDEFAULT_INSTANCE_METHODThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
