TextMate syntax coloring and Rails 2.0

Now that the Ruby on Rails 2.0 Preview Release is out, I'm playing around with it. First thing I noticed, while minor, is that TextMate's syntax coloring for "HTML (Rails)" doesn't recognize the new view naming scheme. "rhtml" is now replaced by "html.erb" as the file extension.

It's a simple fix, however. Just open up the Bundle Editor, go to the "Rails" bundle, then the "HTML (Rails)" language definition, and add 'erb' to the filetypes array on the second line. Like:

PLAIN TEXT
JavaScript:
  1. {   scopeName = 'text.html.ruby';

    Weird, It only works on the layouts folder, but when I’ve added it on the HTML bundle, it works

    just add ‘html.erb’ on the fileTypes:

    e.g.

    fileTypes = ( ‘html’, ‘htm’, ’shtml’, ‘xhtml’, ‘phtml’, ‘php’, ‘inc’, ‘tmpl’, ‘tpl’, ‘html.erb’);

    [...] What to do? A few people have suggested tweaks using TextMate’s Bundle Editor (here and here). A better option is the new TextMate Rails 2.0 bundle now under development by Dr Nic Williams. [...]
