Heredoc containing a closing PHP tag breaks syntax highlighting

[jaikdean]

I have a file containing the following:

        $this->xml = <<<EOD
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>{$this->method}</methodName>
<params>

EOD;

The syntax formatting is picking up the ?> within the heredoc as a closing PHP tag, and as such the syntax highlighting is broken from this point on in the file.

Confirm on that, it's a bit annoying

[jaikdean]

This is also happening when there is comment block syntax (/* and */) inside heredocs.

The file in my screenshot is part of the Symfony SensioDistributionBundle, available here.

[meecect]

yep. I see it too.

Likewise for single quotes (') or double quotes (") within a heredoc

There is 2 problems in atom/core probably.
Because grammar ignore "repository" and "injection" rules.

Good news so i'm can fix it by rewriting without that rules, here is simple trial example

But i'm need someone to help me write bug about grammar(En is not my native, so i'm sometimes unclear as hell).

And as well i'm need someone who can explain tricky parts in itself heredoc syntax,
like scope "string.unquoted.heredoc.php" now contain in rule double quote
and scope "string.unquoted.heredoc.nowdoc.php" now contain single quote
so i'm need to know diff and probably some examples of different languages(Js,SQL,Json,Regex,CSS) heredoc to test

@zr9 we've already concluded that it would be worthwhile fixing the root cause of this problem in first-mate package (see related discussion), so that all other bugs would fix on their own. The current solution is rather elegant (although, not working).

But it's still nice seeing someone giving their go at it.

[zr9]

@Ingramz Oh i'm not read references, so core bug already submitted. Then np :) But current solution is seems like working, so it can be fine as temporally fix until atom fixed "repository"

[Ingramz]

@zr9 sure, that's something people have suggested before.

You can compare your solution to the one in the pull request I submitted above. The changes got undone with later commits, but if you keep track of the commits throughout the pull request, you can sort-of see what was done there.

[zr9]

@Ingramz Yup almost similar, difference in "interpolation" since injection rule is not work, so interpolation need to get moved inside "heredoc_interior" after that it get fully working in current state, because at first heredoc get covered by main rules, then interpolated by php rules inside. Look on screen i'm posted above, or i'm can attach code if you wish so. So technically in current state full fix possible, and it even will be not dirty, only dirty thing is "interpolation" repeat. And more when repository will be fixed in core, it continue to work, so not get broken.

[zr9]

@Ingramz Tested, looks totally fine, here is screenshots.

Except of color issues, but that is atom/core other bug(or not bug).
Scopes for brief look fine too.

[zr9]

@Ingramz So should i'm push commit to fix this one? Cos there is no seems any activity on repository fix in mate

[Ingramz]

@zr9 sure, you can do it.
