TextMate 2 “Go To Symbol” not working for PHP

Question

I’m running TextMate 2.0-alpha.9419 and experiencing this issue: the editor doesn’t see my method definitions within a class, and won’t let me jump to them via “Go To Symbol”. The only method that TM does recognise is __construct which is hardly useful enough.

I do have the PHP bundle installed.

Is this just something that is missing from the bundle/TM alpha build, or is there a way I can fix this?

Answer 1

You'll need to updated the PHP bundle to add user-defined methods to the symbol list.

Goto "Bundles" => "Edit Bundles"

Select the PHP Bundle & create a new Bundle Setting

• ( command + N ) => select "Setting"

Enter a name, "entity.name.function.php" as Scope Selector, and enter the following setting

{ showInSymbolList = 1; }

Save setting ( command + S ) and close Bundle Editor.

• You may need to restart TextMate.app and/or clear cache

$ rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Managed/Cache/*

You should now have named functions in your symbol list
