sublimehq packages: Missing mandatory key in YAML file: match

[kornelski]

I'm trying to parse sublime syntaxes: https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/tree/v4145

but since sublimehq/Packages@40ec1f2 they don't seem to be compatible with syntect, mostly failing with error "Missing mandatory key in YAML file: match".

I'm using syntect 5.0.0 and tried both add_from_folder() and individually with SyntaxDefinition::load_from_str(&s, true, p.file_stem().and_then(|x| x.to_str())).

You are running into #323 and #271. Until these are implemented, syntect cannot be used with syntax definitions which use these features.
In the interim, we plan to have syntect show a more accurate error message. (See #460 (comment))
