Ruby syntax highlighting broken in VIM 8.1

[marko-avlijas]

Syntax highlighting is broken for ruby on my vim. It only recognizes strings and private keyword. Everything else is white (except line numbers).

My platform is linux mint 18.3 Cinnamon desktop.
All other themes work for ruby.

Huge version with GTK2 GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

Still having this issue?

Back. Yes issue is still here on linux mint and fedora.

It's a shame because I really like the theme and am using it as my gnome terminal theme where it works fine.

@marko-avlijas Can you verify :set ft? syntax? gives the appropriate values? What is the output of the :filetype command? Have you checked :color output? Can you dump :verbose hi somewhere? What version of dracula are you using?

Have you tried tpope's rails plugin?

[marko-avlijas]

ft and syntax are both ruby.
filetype detection:ON plugin:ON indent:ON
color: dracula

Paste of :verbose hi: https://pastebin.com/VwWgqvLA

I didnt try tpope's rails plugin, only his vim-surround. Is it good?

I was surprised to find that file there. I installed dracula using vundle and most plugins are in ~/.vim/bundle, but dracula isn't. This is only file named dracula in my home folder, maybe this is part of reason for the issue? Also I don't know what is PDT 2001, but that doesn't sound right as date of last change.

I'll check what's where that is installed on other computers too when I find time.

That is 100% the wrong Dracula plugin.

@marko-avlijas as mentioned, that's a syntax file for some kind of special language. It is not a colorscheme. (PDT 2001 is Pacific Daylight Time from 2001, so it's part of the timestamp.)

Recommended: Install the dracula that you want as a colorscheme (i.e. this repo). Not sure how to do it with vundle, though draculatheme.com/vim suggests

Plugin 'dracula/vim'
:PluginInstall

I'm not 100% sure if this will work, but it should. Let us know if you have issues.
