File language not saved back to github after editing in ST2

[minimaldesign]

I open a Textile formatted gist, modify it, then save it.

When I look at the gist back on github, everything's fine beside for its language now set to Text instead of Textile. Is there any way to preserve the formatting?

I should mention it opens as a Textile file within ST2 just fine. It's just the saving that seems to go wrong.

Thanks!

I noticed this issue just now. Up until now I've been saving plaintext Gists, but I wanted to change it to Markdown for one so I changed it on the website, then made and edit and updated it, only to find it had reverted the Gist back to Plaintext :( I can imagine it isn't a hard fix to implement?

I can't replicate this. Can you link a gist with which this happens?

[brandonb927]

@deiga For me it happens with every gist.. Here's a screencast showing my issue: http://www.screencast.com/users/brandonb927/folders/Snagit/media/eca22434-27d7-45f0-b68d-ebfbc8991ef7

Okay, thank you for that. Was able to reproduce the steps.

You can avoid that by naming the file with the correct type in sublime.
But I will investigate this now :)

After some investigation it seems that the problem is in the Gist API. Files just aren't renamed over the API.

Thats a shame :( Thanks for looking into it!

@brandonb927 Can you try again? I can't reproduce it now, maybe GitHud fixed this issue with API?

👍 I seem to be having the same issue with a CoffeeScript file.
Disregard user error.

[brandonb927]

Hmm seems to be working fine again. Thanks for checking in on this! (sorry for the late response btw)

[condemil]

Great!

I am seeing this same problem on a private gist. It's a block of HTML and I can't change it from Text to HTML. It seems to work, but after saving it's back to text.

[crystalneth]

Ok, I think this is because it's preferring the filename to the user's selection. If I set the filename to end in html, it works. Should probably trust the user...

The bug still exists in private gists.

I just added the ".md" to the end of the file name when I uploaded (the original in sublime doesn't even need to be saved as such) and it uploads fine, even in private gists.
