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://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/Ruby Haml.tmbundle"

Or if you prefer git:

git clone git://github.com/textmate/ruby-haml.tmbundle.git

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 had to checkout with the following url: svn co “http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Ruby Haml.tmbundle”

    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.

    Great, I just installed it, works nice, it was hard to use before the bundle.

    Thanks Barry. I normally install TM bundles using the gem here http://tinyurl.com/cmqfro, however it is not working at the moment so I used your method and put it into a gist: http://gist.github.com/89632

    Hi, I believe the url should now be:

    Yes, the URL appears to have changed. And now that many Textmate bundles are available at GitHub, I’ve added instructions for git.

    Any idea why color coding wouldn’t show up for me? I definitely have the bundle selected in the edit window.

    Comments are colored, but tag names (%div) are just plain.

    @Kevin Not sure. Here’s what the Haml template file (shipped with the plugin) helpful.haml looks like in my TextMate:

    @Kevin:

    I had the same problem. Try change your colour theme. I was using vibrant ink, and there was no syntax colouring. When I switched to cobalt, it came out.

    Thanks for the tip, @Steve!

    Note: In my screenshot, I’m using the great Railscasts theme by Ryan Bates.

    Just a quote update, they moved the svn repo again for the sass bundle:
