Would this logic cause a file named "html" (with no extension) to get resolved to HTML since we're treatig it like ".html"? Ideally, it seems like we should distinguish filenames from extensions more clearly...

"html" would be a file name. The extension logic only kicks in when there's actually a dot present (due to i=1 instead of i=0).

I've checked, and it works allright. It also works nicely with other filenames such as .bashrc or .profile, detecting first filename and then extension.
@peterflynn was your concern fully addressed, or is there something else?

Hidden files are an interesting edge case... it probably would treat ".profile" first as a file name, and then use the extension "profile". I don't think that's what we want since the leading dot has different semantics. I will change the code to take this into account.

Yes, that's exactly what happens. First it looks for .profile as filename and then for profile as extension. I thought that would work, but now that you mention it, I agree that we'd want it to work slightly different.

_addFileExtension is already public in master

Finish reviewing... Looks good, and as we saw in #3083, it already solves a possible use case for ruby files. @DennisKehrig Please, merge with master. While you're at it, could you update the jsdocs descriptions for |

Finally: all done! |

I take that back, a unit test fails. |

Good to go now. |

This seems a little bit inconsistent. Above, fileName returned from PathUtils.filename for a file named .coffee.md includes the dot, and here it points to that it is only a marker for hidden files. This is enforced in that you need to use .coffe.md in languages.json as a filename and not coffee.md. I think the behavior is correct as is, so maybe we could just change the comment... what do you think?

I see your point... I'll try to rephrase it better, so that it's clear that this is just the rationale for ignoring a leading dot.

@DennisKehrig Done with re-review. Behaviour looks great! Just a couple of minor comments... |
|
Also, it looks that one of the last merges has created a conflict here, so please, merge with master again :S |

Thank you for the review! I'll get to this tomorrow. |

The entries in the fileNames field of a language definition can now also contain extensions since file names are checked before extensions are checked.
