Bug ID: 465304
Summary: syntax highlighting for QML is broken when file starts
with shebang
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-syntax-highlighting
Version: 5.98.0
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: syntax

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Syntax highlighting for QML files is broken when the file includes shebang
line.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kate.
2. Make and save a QML file, e.g. "hello.qml":
import QtQuick 2
Rectangle {
width: 200
height: 100
Text {
text: "Hello, World!"
}
}
3. Add a shebang line at the beginning of the file, e.g.
#!/usr/bin/env qml
OBSERVED RESULT
When you add the shebang, everything but the first two characters (or until a
/* multi-line comment */) turns orange (or green, in eariler versions.)
EXPECTED RESULT
Shebang should not break highlighting.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu 22.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kate 22.08.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A commit related to Bug 325805 apparently fixed this for JavaScript in 2014.
That commit also involved a minor change to qml.xml, however I don't think it
ever worked in QML. Copying the lines related to shebang from javascript.xml
into qml.xml seems to make it correctly recognize the shebang line, except that
it doesn't color it like a comment, and I don't know enough about this syntax
highlighting system to know how to fix that.
