We could implement this by using the public scopes member function though this function includes dynamic scopes such as misspelled ranges which would change the current semantics of the to_xml helper function.
It might actually make sense to make this change, but I’m avoiding functional changes while refactoring.
This partially reverts changes of 3fdc72b93a:
Support spell checking being “automatic by language”.
Before 3fdc72b spellingLanguage .tm_properties setting (default "en") was the
only way to set spelling language for file (buffer). English was default
language for all files. 3fdc72b introduced change that when “automatic by
language” was selected in system's spelling panel then TextMate was ignoring
spellingLanguage setting and was using automatic by language.
However because “automatic by language” is default on OS X, effectively 3fdc72b
makes spellingLanguage setting no longer effective. To make it work one needs
to set explicit spelling language either in System Preferences or in spelling
panel upon each TextMate run (since this is getting reset after application
restart) - which is counter-intuitive, can be treated as regression and it is
vaguely described in ChangeLog:
* Support spell checking being “automatic by language”. This is set via the
spelling panel.
This change presents alternative approach, introducing new empty
spellingLanguage setting "" (which is now default), which makes use system
panel language setting, including “automatic by language”.
From now on all files will be checked against system panel selected language
(or automatic), unless .tm_properties project specifies explicitly language for
given file using, eg.:
[ locale-en_US.ini ]
spellingLanguage = en_US
[ locale-pl_PL.ini ]
spellingLanguage = pl_PL
Or automatically depending on file name:
[ locale-*.ini ]
spellingLanguage = '${TM_FILEPATH/^.*locale-([a-z]+_[A-Z]+).*$/$1/}'
This must be set in the spelling panel and changing language via the spelling panel does not update the buffer (recheck the text with the new spelling language), so toggle automatic spelling after using the spelling panel to change language.
Closes#1139
The problem is that we can only return to the proper thread/queue when we know what that thread/queue is. Additionally, when running tests, we are calling from a concurrent queue, so even knowing the queue, we cannot safely update the buffer with the new scopes, as only a serial queue can give us exclusive access.
The first time we ask for the shared spell checker it does some setup involving AppKit (creating the shared spelling panel?). While we already ensure that the spell checker is only called from the main queue, it seems this setup code must run on thread 0, which, when we are not in a Cocoa application, is not necessarily the thread used for the main queue.
