File language not saved back to github after editing in ST2

[minimaldesign]

I open a Textile formatted gist, modify it, then save it.

When I look at the gist back on github, everything's fine beside for its language now set to Text instead of Textile. Is there any way to preserve the formatting?

I should mention it opens as a Textile file within ST2 just fine. It's just the saving that seems to go wrong.

Thanks!

I noticed this issue just now. Up until now I've been saving plaintext Gists, but I wanted to change it to Markdown for one so I changed it on the website, then made and edit and updated it, only to find it had reverted the Gist back to Plaintext :( I can imagine it isn't a hard fix to implement?

[deiga]

I can't replicate this. Can you link a gist with which this happens?

[brandonb927]

@deiga For me it happens with every gist.. Here's a screencast showing my issue: http://www.screencast.com/users/brandonb927/folders/Snagit/media/eca22434-27d7-45f0-b68d-ebfbc8991ef7

Okay, thank you for that. Was able to reproduce the steps.

You can avoid that by naming the file with the correct type in sublime. But I will investigate this now :)

[deiga]

After some investigation it seems that the problem is in the Gist API. Files just aren't renamed over the API.

[brandonb927]

Thats a shame :( Thanks for looking into it!

[condemil]

@brandonb927 Can you try again? I can't reproduce it now, maybe GitHud fixed this issue with API?

~~:+1: I seem to be having the same issue with a CoffeeScript file.~~ Disregard user error.

[brandonb927]

Hmm seems to be working fine again. Thanks for checking in on this! (sorry for the late response btw)

[condemil]

Great!

I am seeing this same problem on a private gist. It's a block of HTML and I can't change it from Text to HTML. It seems to work, but after saving it's back to text.

[crystalneth]

Ok, I think this is because it's preferring the filename to the user's selection. If I set the filename to end in html, it works. Should probably trust the user...

The bug still exists in private gists.

[BlakeJenningsJohnson]

I just added the ".md" to the end of the file name when I uploaded (the original in sublime doesn't even need to be saved as such) and it uploads fine, even in private gists.

Can't change language in my public gist: https://gist.github.com/andrejsc/b2db1b18433e5cc1543a It was saved as HTML (but switched back to text), and now it won't update either.

[yoaquim]

Was having same issue with javascript, just added the js extension and it worked. Try renaming it bootstrap_center_div.html.

[dieselburner]

@yoaquim: thanks, changing title from Bootstrap center div to bootstrap-center-div.html helped. Now html is properly highlighted.

I ran into this today, IIS web.config is actually XML, but it wont let me change it in gist. https://gist.github.com/blowsie/04c183c62a432f6450c9

[baohongfei]

@yoaquim thanks. extensions worked

[cfxd]

@deiga's and @yoaquim's suggestions worked perfectly. Just need to add the appropriate extension in the filename.

Not alvays is good to add extension to perl or shell scripts in linux.

[JVimes]

~~I think the expected behavior is that the language setting works regardless of file name/extension.~~

[ianconsolata]

I don't think this is a bug with this plugin. When creating Gist manually, if I don't specify an extension github reverts back to text, no matter what language I specify.

[JVimes]

Oops, I'm not where I thought I was. My issue is with Gist, itself.

[pixelbacon]

Same issue as described by others. Gist's always end up as Text for format. Chrome v37.0.2062.122

[deekej]

Still not working. Using Opera 12.16 and Opera Developer 26 @ Linux Mint 17. Please, fix this. Thanks!

[jeffgabriel]

There is definitely still a language selection issue. My gist (https://gist.github.com/gabe19/f6d0590d77909f28fd3b) keeps some of the files as "Smalltalk" even though I never selected this and the files have the .cs extension. The language will be correctly auto-selected to C# when I edit the file but it doesn't hold.

[AlexHedley]

I've had the same issue with some ObjC gists I've been creating, added the .m and it worked but I've got older gists with no file extension that saved fine

[Using Safari Version 8.0.2 (10600.2.5)]

[risyasin]

Two problems still exist for Chrome latest (public gists).

• Unable to use custom extension. When i change file name to a xxx.conf, A javascript sets language option to Apacheconf, even if i have changed it to Nginx. then it ignores completes. syntax highlighting also
• Language option can not be saved when we edit the gist. When in editing gists. whichever option you change the language. it just ignores & saves as "text".

[armaneshaghi]

@risyasin I can confirm the second problem is also the case in Safari 8.0.4 , Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
