Syntax colouring not working for me

[squarefrog]

I have an issue where the syntax colouring isn't working for me using vim-json. If i :setf javascript it colours, albeit unhelpfully, but when I switch back to json it gives me the white wall of text.

I install the plugin using NeoBundle and you can see my bundle specific vimrc here, and my more general vimrc here.

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried using another color scheme, say, the default slate or spacegray? It seems the plugin is correctly detecting keywords and values, concealing them and unconcealing them on the current line (which is puzzling because you seem to have disabled the concealing in your vimrc), but then the coloring is when things break down. Also, can you show me how the json-test.json file included in the plugin looks like?

Thanks for the reply, changing the colour scheme does add some highlighting. The test json file looks like the following:

And with slate:

I too have a similar issue. I am using altercation/vim-colors-solarized and the syntax highlighting works correctly, however the background over errors does not turn red, making problems rather hard to spot.

Any suggestions?

I have the same issue as @tgrosinger.
But changing the colorscheme does not help.

I use solarized dark, looks like this:

slate:

Monokai:

Maybe there's something wrong with my configuration, so there appears no error highlight?

Hint: I'm on gvim / terminal vim. Both behave the same issue.

Overriding the syntax highlighting colour fixed it for me. e.g. hi! def link jsonKeyword Identifier

I also had the same issue since I use too many plugins. Even changing color schemes did not worked for me. But below line in ~/.vimrc worked like a charm, basically I am forcing vim to set json syntax.

au BufRead,BufNewFile,BufReadPost *.json set syntax=json
