Ruby Syntax Highlighting for Visual Studio Code

Ruby, ERB and Gemfile Syntax Support.

This Extension allows for Ruby Syntax Support without needing to install language server, debugger etc. for a way to keep things simple and distraction free.

Install

• Run: code --install-extension SarahRidge.vscode-ruby-syntax
  • Alternatively, extension can be installed via marketplace
• Reload VSCode

Notes

• The initial language grammar was copied from vscode-ruby which is no longer supported
• ruby-lsp as the successor now maintains ruby grammars

Diffs

• Added Grammar for Gemfile following bundler docs
• Added Ternary :
• Added Ruby Ranges .. / ...
• Fixed variable recognition ending with ? or !
• Fixed Comment Blocks for .erb files by adding <%# to each line
• Fixed multiline arithmetic operations and regex matching collisions
