Description Kahlil Hodgson 2020-01-30 05:40:58 UTC
Description of problem:

The `boxes-vim` sub-package installs a vim syntax script `boxes.vim` to the `plugin` directory rather than the `syntax` directory.  Hence, that script is always loaded on start up, rather than on opening a `.boxes` file.

Due to a current bug in that script (https://github.com/ascii-boxes/boxes/issues/66) this has a global effect on the vim session.  When this bug is fixed, the immediate problem will go away, but the file is in the wrong place and will not work as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

boxes-1.3-1.fc31

How reproducible:

While editing program files, commands that use `iskeyword` no longer work on identifiers that contain an underscore.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install vim boxes-vim
2. vim /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dnf/util.py
3. goto line 53 and place cursor on the `p` in `_parse_specs` function
4. use the `*` vim command to search for identifier under cursor

Actual results:

The word `parse` is highlighted.

Expected results:

The identifier `_parse_specs` is highlighted.

Additional info:

The `boxes.vim` file has been mistaken for a general plugin rather than a syntax plugin. Even if it is moved the correct location, the file type wont be detected. We need an additional filetype detection script `ftdetect/boxes.vim` containing something like:

```
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.boxes      setfiletype boxes
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile boxes-config setfiletype boxes
```

@Hello, i am not the first maintainer of this package and it was almost orphaned until i take it. Thanks for reporting and upstream bug.

Comment 2 Kahlil Hodgson 2020-01-31 10:19:01 UTC
Hi Artem,

Just to note, even if upstream is fixed, the installation directory is still not correct.
Just need to replace

```
/vim/vimfiles/plugin
```

with

```
/vim/vimfiles/syntax
```

in the spec file and you are done :-)

Comment 3 Artem 2020-01-31 12:15:04 UTC
Sure, i will fix this and we need to fix another issue [1] :)
