Syntax Highlighting errors in flow with generics

[Lythenas]

Expected behavior, english is required

Highlight this code correctly:

type Test2<A> = A;
type Test = Test2<{}>;
type Test3 = string;

The reproduce ways from Vim starting (Required!)

Open a .js file containing the code above. The first two lines are highlighted correctly (as far as I can tell). But the third line ist not highlighted at all. And everything after that is also not highlighted correctly.

It's properly caused by some javascript plugin, but I cannot figure it out. Do you have some advice? I have been living with it for a long time, since I don't care about it.

@ssfdust

Do you have some advice? I have been living with it for a long time, since I don't care about it.

For now I'm just disabling flow. Some keywords (like type, any,...) aren't highlighted anymore but as far as I can tell the rest works fine.

Syntax highlighting is still broken in some situations when disabling flow. For now I will just put all my types at the bottom of the files. That mostly fixes the syntax highlighting of the rest of the code.

[Lythenas]

It would be helpful if someone could point me to the plugin that takes care of highlighting flow. Then I can open an issue there.

[ssfdust]

Sorry, I don't have enough time to help you until sunday.

I can reproduce it:

It is a bug of https://github.com/flowtype/vim-flow

just report it, flow/vim-flow#81
