🪲 code highlighting in slides does not work properly for translations on Alpha

[yilmazdurmaz]

Describe the bug

I am testing my translations in slides for possible errors in code fragments and saw this issue. I have also tested this on a few other languages.

Highlighting for English are fine. Translations uses plain grey for everything until level 4.
From then on, variables, quoted string, numbers are colored but mostly in different colors from English version. see screenshots below.
Some command keywords even change color depending where they are used, but they are mostly grey.

Paste the Hedy code & level
All slides

Add a screenshot (optional)

screenshot from level 1 slides

screenshot from level 13 slides

What machine and browser you were using (optional)
Windows 10, MS Edge latest

For a moment I fell into thinking the issue is the same in prod. Highlighting works in prod Hedy slides.

I thought the backend for alpha would be the same as prod. Could this be a sign for a bug that is about to slip into prod?

@boryanagoncharenko

Hi, I am sorry I may have caused a confusion here: Highlighting works on "https://hedy.org", the prod, but the problem here is about "https://hedy-alpha.herokuapp.com", the alpha.

check these two for comparison:

• alpha: https://hedy-alpha.herokuapp.com/slides/6#/1/0/0
• prod: https://hedy.org/slides/6#/1/0/0

There are disconnections between the two deployments and this is one of them. Marking this as a bug might not be what it should be, so please act cautiously as I see you made a PR on "main".

The solution should already be in the production code, and probably just needs to be replicated to alpha.

Again, excuse me for the misunderstanding,
YILMAZ

Hello @yilmazdurmaz

Thank you for reporting this issue. It is indeed a bug that exists on alpha that would have slipped to production, so there was not a misunderstanding at all.

Recently we made improvements to the highlighting mechanism in Hedy, so there is no way to replicate the solution on production to alpha - we need to fix forward instead. Hopefully, my PR will address the highlighting issue in all editors.

@boryanagoncharenko , it is nice.

I wasn't really sure about them, and that explains much: these things on alpha are nasties to slip prod.

I will then continue reporting my findings on alpha while checking my translations.
