Does any know of a way to get syntax highlighting for coffeescript files in Wing IDE? I've got it set to highlight as if it were a javascript file, which works alright, but there are a few things it lacks, particularly comments. Has someone written a lexer for this. I'm going to be working with coffeescript for a long while and it would be very helpful to have the highlighting work correctly.

Thanks for your help

It looks like there isn't syntax highlighting support for coffeescript in Wing 4. It should be in Wing 5, though I don't know when that is out. I'll take a look also to see if we can add this in Wing 4, although it may not work out due to compatibility of the different code bases involved.

  • Thanks. If you are able to add this to wing 4, let me know. I'd love to have it. – Hoopdady Aug 15 '12 at 17:56
  • Did anything ever come of this? – Hoopdady Feb 19 '13 at 18:52
  • No, sorry, I wasn't able to add it to Wing 4. – Wingware Mar 11 '13 at 17:50
  • What's the status on coffeescript being added to wing 5? I just upgraded my pro license from wing 4 expecting that support and it's rather disappointing that it's not added yet. – Ken Sep 13 '13 at 18:35
  • Sorry, I see that it's broken in our current beta. I've just fixed it in our sources for the next release (not counting 5.0beta8, which has already been built). – Wingware Sep 26 '13 at 16:17
