So I ran into a problem while coding in php: suddenly, upon loading a php file, SublimeText3 encountered an ‘Unable to load syntax file’ error, stating that due to a recursion event, the sanity limit was reached. I had this once before after installing Naomi. I was confused why I was having the error again, as I hadn’t installed any new packages as well as I could remember, so I began researching. All of the posts/solutions I found were for people who had CSS3, Naomi, and Coffee installed. I didn’t have any of those. So I tried updating all my packages, but that didn’t help. After roughly an hour of searching, I couldn’t find another way to solve this, so I sucked it up and began going down my list of packages, uninstalling and restarting sublime for each package until I came to the ‘JavaScriptNext - ES6 Syntax’ package. As soon as I clicked it off, my php code magically lit up with color. I restarted Sublime just to be sure and sure enough, it was coloring once again. This error occurred with the most recent version of JavaScriptNext after updating sublime around the 28th of May.
Just wanted to share, since I saw that this was a common issue. Hopefully I can save someone from wasting a bunch of time like I did.
