Installing HAML bundle for TextMate


There is currently a TextMate bundle in process for the templating language, Haml. It doesn’t come built-in, however. Installation is fairly simple once you figure it out.

(Keep in mind, my TextMate application location may vary from yours. This is simply what I found works for me.)

First, browse to your bundles area in Terminal.

cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles

Then check out the TextMate bundle from MacroMates’ bundle repository:

svn co "http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Ruby Haml.tmbundle"

Then, reload your bundles in TextMate (Bundles | Bundle Editor | Reload Bundles).

Finally, for some reason tabbing isn’t set properly by default when editing a Haml file, which is important for this white-space-aware templating language. Perhaps the expectation is that you will always use your space bar? In any case, after opening a .haml file, look along the bottom bar of the TextMate interface. Be sure the Haml bundle is selected, and change your tabbing to Soft Tabs at 2 spaces per tab.

Haml tabbing

Update: Here are instructions for installing the Sass TextMate bundle:

cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles
svn co "http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/Ruby Sass.tmbundle"

For both the Haml and Sass bundles, you may prefer to install the bundles in your “personalized” bundle area. Simply replace the cd commands above with:

cd ~/"Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/"

    Fantastic. I already had the bundle installed, but I just hadn’t realised that tabbing could be changed that easily.

    I see the Ruby Haml. tmbundle but when I try it, I get:

    svn: URL ‘http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Haml.tmbundle’ doesn’t exist

    Is the space causing the issue? Thanks.

    There’s an easier way :)

    sudo gem install bundlemate
    bundlemate install “Ruby Haml”
    bundlemate install “Ruby Sass”

    :)

    Arrgh. What happened to the Sass bundle?

    “The requested URL /svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Ruby Sass.tmbundle was not found on this server.”

    That stinks, Jeff. It indeed appears to be gone.

    Aussiegeek’s github project looks like a promising mirror.
