Syntax Highlighting doesn't work in PyCharm

[georgevreilly]

When I look at a .proto file in Android Studio, I see syntax highlighting. When I look at the same file in PyCharm, there is no syntax highlighting. My colleagues have the same experience on their computers.

PyCharm installed Version 0.3.0 of the Google Protocol Buffers support, while Android Studio had 0.5.7. PyCharm thought 0.3.0 was the latest version.

I uninstalled 0.3.0 from PyCharm, downloaded 0.5.7 from JetBrains, and installed that from disk in PyCharm. It made no difference.

The plugin was only written to support Java. I know protocol buffers can generate python files.

Did version 0.3.0 offer code hilighting? That was before I became involved with the project.

I confirm this plugin doesn't work under PyCharm (4.0.1 and last 3.x), not even the syntax highlighter. A release with editor support and no code generation would be a nice start :)

I'd be perfectly happy with syntax highlighting for .proto files. I hadn't even realized that the plugin could trigger code generation. The protoc compiler can indeed generate Python files, but it's the source .proto files that I want to look at in PyCharm.

As far as I can tell, most of the IntelliJ plugins work in all of their editors.

It would be nice to have syntax highlight working standalone, as that would be useful in CLion too.

+1 for syntax highlighting. Doesn't work in CLion 1.0.4 either.

Syntax highligting for CLion would be very well. C++ code generation is not needed, because this is automated with CMake in C++ world.

Hi @georgevreilly @codepainters @czras @vickychijwani @GamePad64

I developed new plugin that supports all Jetbrains products. Current version is really simple - it suppports only syntax highlighting for proto2/proto3. More features will come in following releases.
