562331 - Frequent error when opening a file

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Skywriter Graveyard :: Syntax Highlighting, defect, P1)

Description

[Kevin Dangoor]

I have noticed that when I'm switching from one JS file to another and the file is opened with the cursor placed in the middle of the file, I frequently get an error on line 503 of syntaxmanager.js:

503 syntaxDirectory.loadSyntax(context).then(function(syntax) {

The error is that loadSyntax is returning null (the context is null as well, which is probably why loadSyntax returns null).

This particular error is fixed in changeset c66c92935b10, but ultimately this results from a race condition that will only be fixed when syntax engines become web workers.
