Bug Report: Syntax highlighting theme not recognized sometimes for she-bangs

[mbigras]

I have a custom syntax min.tmTheme at:

~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/min.tmTheme

With the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

It is basically just the default but without any colors.
I’ve set it for my Ruby theme:

in Ruby.sublime-settings

// These settings override both User and Default settings for the Ruby syntax
{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/User/min.tmTheme",
    "tab_size": 2,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    "auto_complete": false
}

This works fine when I click on .rb files or when I manually set the syntax to Ruby.
However if I’m clicking on an executable, or a file is previewing via Command+p then the old highlighting is used instead of mine. These two cases are shown below, along with what it looks like when I manually change the syntax back to Ruby.

Is there anything I can do for my custom ruby syntax theme to be applied to #!/usr/bin/env ruby executables all the time?

In the first two screenshots, which syntax is active? You can check with view.settings().get('syntax') in the console.

I don’t think Sublime natively recognizes shebangs, but I do know ApplySyntax can be configured to do so.

[FichteFoll]

.sublime-syntax files have a first_line_match field that can and does recognize shebangs. File extentions take priority, however. Docs: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/syntax.html

[facelessuser]

Awesome. I’ve only touched the surface of new syntax stuff. Recent contributions to the default syntax files have been been great, and I haven’t had to dive into syntax stuff in a long while now. So yeah, ideally this should be addressed in the syntax if it is possible. But it is also possible via a plugin as listed above if for whatever reason it is not solvable, or if you need stopgap solution.

This is weird. In all cases the syntax is set to 'Packages/Ruby/Ruby.sublime-syntax'.
Shouldn’t my custom color_scheme be recognized?

Okay, this is unexpected. Could be a bug in core. I’ll try to reproduce later and open an issue if I can.

@FichteFoll Thank you for taking a look.

Wanted to add an observation I came across today in case it helps:

Using the File: revert command will enable my user settings:
