After update, IntelliJ doesn't do syntax coloring anymore.

Answered

I have today updated to IntelliJ IDEA Community 2016.2.5.

I have opted for "importing the settings of my old version".

However, in the new version, the files are not syntax colored anymore, i.e. the editor doesn't recognize the filetype.

The old version recognized, that a file with extension .sh should get syntax highlighting for "shell script".

I checked the settings for CodeStyle / FileTypes, and here too, I don't have an entry for Shell Script anymore.

Hello Ronald,

Do you face this issue for all file types? Please check that "BashSupport" plugin installed/enabled for .sh files support.

I have only Shell script, but the interesting point is: I do have the Bash Support plugin installed, and it has a check mark, BUT it is the only plugin which is listed in red colour, which suggests that something is wrong with it. However, there is no error message; only the colour is different.

Problem solved! I had to update the BashPlugin too. Now it works. Seems that the old version of the plugin did not run with the new version of the editor.
