[Question] Where to place the .tmlanguage file?

I'm trying to add a new language using the syntax below - I have the .tmLanguage file.
But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add the file to the project for the plugin to be able to find it.
Should the path be a complete path, relative to the project or something completely different?

extension Grammar {
static let kotlin = try! Grammar(textMateFile: URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/Kotlin.tmLanguage"))
}

Thanks for this plugin anyways! Seems to great!

Hey there! So you have multiple options:

  • Grammar(textMateFile: URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/Kotlin.tmLanguage")) with the absolute path
  • Grammar(relativeTextMateFile: "Kotlin.tmLanguage") where the language file is in the exact same folder as the current Swift file (I usually prefer this one)
  • Or if you want additional control you can also just pass the data or the string representation of the xml

Check out https://github.com/nerdsupremacist/syntax-highlight-publish-plugin/blob/main/Sources/SyntaxHighlightPublishPlugin/Grammar/Grammar%2BtextMate.swift for all the initializers you can use ;)

"relativeTextMateFile" was the missing piece!

Thanks a lot! 🚀
