Suggestion to ignore package "JavaScript" causes error

[jubalm]

Not recommending the use of tip here (Advanced usage), as it spits out the following error.

Error loading syntax file "Packages/JavaScript/JSON.sublime-syntax": Unable to read Packages/JavaScript/JSON.sublime-syntax

Better stick with the default syntax settings here.

Same error here. It goes away once I remove the recommended addition of ignoring JavaScript.

FWIW, I fixed this with a subset of the following:

1. The important one: Associated all .json and .sublime-settings with Babel > JavaScript (Babel) (instead of Babel > JSON)
2. (Not sure if this is necessary:) Closed all existing JSON files (.json & .sublime-settings)
3. Restarted

But the syntax highlighting of JSON files go wonky if we do that.

I won't be recommending this anymore. I'll update the README after "re-rewrite babel-sublime" #293.

There's a really simple fix for this: Just copy the JSON.sublime-syntax file from Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/Packages/JavaScript.sublime-package into ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/.

For convenience, here is a gist with the extracted JSON.sublime-syntax file.

Thanks, @alopatin
In my Ubuntu Linux install, the paths were:

• source: /opt/sublime_text/Packages/JavaScript.sublime-package
• destiny: ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User
