I am using a color theme that I am perfectly happy with, but I am dealing with a lot of ".impex" files that are unique to the Hybris platform. The IDE essentially sees them as text files. How can I add syntax coloring to these ".impex" files so the text is not just all one color?
Maybe this plugin can help you.
Syntax highlight for impex files
Besides, you can register a file pattern to a recognised file type: Preferences -> IDE Settings -> File Types.

I have several django projects and several different files with name utils.py, however pycharm treats them as simple .txt files with no syntax highlighting or any other kind of parsing, how can I fix this?
Please see File | Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Editor | File Types.
Look for your file name mapped to the Text type or to the Auto-detect file type by content type.
Remove the incorrect mapping and it will fix the issue.
If you still can't find the wrong mapping in the IDE settings, locate the options/filetypes.xml file in the Configuration directory. Close the IDE and either edit this file to remove the incorrect mapping or delete this file to reset all the file types to the defaults.
You can also use Revert File Type Override / Override File Type file context menu actions.
As CrazyCoder answered, my file also landed in an unintended association. In my case it was "Auto-detect file type by content". You can just try to add your file to the desired file type (e.g. Python) and PyCharm will automatically try to move the association.
FYI, a quick action to reassociate a file's type will be available in the context menu of the Project tool window in IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2 (EAPs should be available publicly around May 2021).
In my case I had to right click the file in question (a django migration) and select Mark as Python.
I probably clicked Mark as Plain Text before by mistake.
I actually solved this by going to the Project section , and then clicking Override File Type by right clicking on the specific file. Then I selected the type of the file from the list of available file types.
That worked
For me, the file somehow forgot its type. This can be overridden by
Right click the file name --> Override File Type --> Select file type.
How can I reformat not supported files in Intellij ?
The files I use are .tpl for the aria templates framework : http://ariatemplates.com/usermanual/latest/writing_templates
Is there a way to configure intellij to reformat code for unsupported file types ? at least the indent.
Thanks in advance.
There are a couple things you can do:
1. Settings > Editor > Code Style > Other File Types here you can define indentation for all non supported filetypes.
2. Settings > File Types here you can add new file type with pattern. You need to click plus sign and add the name and then you can configure a couple of things like syntax highlighting for some keywords, comments recognition etc.:
3. Abouve solutions didn't format the code as you would like, but it's something IDEA might you help with. To format it you can create your own plugin which would format non supported (yet) languages. There is jetbrains SDK and here you can find documentation on how to do this.
I created a file named "auth_actions.dart" in a dart project(either angular or not). The file content would have text colour being plain white, without any highlighted.
If I rename it to "auth_action.dart" or "auth_actionss.dart", the highlight will come back.
I did some experiments even from some random projects downloaded from github, all of them had this issue.
Anyone know how to fix it? Does anyone see the same issue using the name "auth_actions.dart"?
I assume you accidentally added the file to
Preferences > Editor > File Types > Recognized File Types > Text
Remove it from Registered Patterns to get hightlighting again.
You could accidentally mark it as plain text (the option is in the right-click menu). In this case, the option to mark it back as a Dart file is also in the context menu.
Webstorm doesn't recognize one of my .js files as a JavaScript file so I'm losing syntax highlighting and being able to add break points. I've looked in the workspace.xml file and the file in question seems to have similar settings to other .js files that work correctly.
If I change the name of the file it works ok. So somehow Webstorm is stuck on misinterpreting the type of a file that has this name. Where else can I edit the project?
So I see three possible reasons for the problem:
The file was marked as 'Plain text'
There is a pattern for 'Text files' file type that matches this file (or back: file type 'JavaScript' exclude this file name). See image below
There is a custom plugin that overrides default behavior for files with this name (unlikely)
Updated: after several years I've found one more reason for the behavior and most likely it the main source of the issues. When you create a file without any extensions the "Register New File Type Association" is appeared. And you can accidentally specify a new file type, for some file name. It is can be fixed with (2) but it is the reason why the pattern was added there.
Note: the solution works for all IDEA-based IDEs: IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, RubyMine, PyCharm, PhpStorm.
File -> Settings -> Editor -> FileTypes -> Text files -> check for "ContentRepository.js" pattern there and remove it.
If the file was marked as "Plain Text", then this can be fixed as follows:
Right click on the file.
One of the menu options is "Mark as Javascript" . Just below "Delete".
Click that. Your file is now recognized as javascript by WebStorm.
Since WebStorm was not allowing screenshots after right click so couldn't add it here.
My problem was with Auto-detect file type by context
For me this did the trick
1) Preferences
2) Editor
3) FileTypes
4) Search for javascript
5) Add *.js to registered patterns
You can also try "Template data languages" (in file > settings) which will force a specific language synatax high-lighting on a specific file or folder. See screenshot below
For a block of code you can also use "language injection". Simply high-light the block of code, wait for the little lamp to appear then select the bottom choice and then the language you need (screenshot also attached)
In case it is helpful elsewhere (OMG this was scary).
For some reason IntelliJ was not recognizing any .js file in my project (even after .idea removal (rm -rf .idea)).
I went to Webstorm (in my case RubyMine): Webstorm > Preferences ... > Editor > File Types then went to Recognized Filed Types, picked Javascript (but whatever file type you are missing will do), then added back a Registered Patterns entry of *.js
Of course, press Apply and then Ok.
Wow, scary stuff. but solved my problem, hope it does for someone else.
I was always trying to add .js as a recognised file types, but somehow .js was added to Ignored Files and Folders.
I just removed .js from Ignored Files and Folders and it worked for me.
Preferences
Editor
FileTypes
Ignored Files and Folders
Remove *.js
2022 update!
Right click on file and choose JavaScript
I recently switched from Sublime Text to IntelliJ and I trying to figure out, if there's a way for IntelliJ to auto detect what indentation the current file is using and use that instead of the default
I have to deal with a lot of 3rd party code, which can have different indentation settings, which I'm not allowed to change for obvious reasons.
Sublime Text was able to detect and abide to the indentation for the current file, which is quite intuitive and unobtrusive. IntelliJ on the other hand just sticks to it's own settings, resulting in mixed tabs and spaces, wrong indentation levels and wrong merge conflicts.
Is there a way to make IntelliJ behave, other than having to manually change the indentation settings every time I get a file with different indentation.
Thanks
In recent versions of Intellij there is a Detect and use existing file indents for editing setting for this:
Each project you open in IntelliJ has it's own settings. You will need to set the indent style the first time you open up the project, but it will be saved after that (and can be different for every project you work on). From the IntelliJ help site:
Project settings are stored with each specific project as a set of xml files
under the .idea folder. If you specify the
default project settings,
these settings will be automatically used for each newly created project.
You can edit the indent settings for the project in the Code Style dialog.
