Added a check for erb files here: https://gist.github.com/2142985

Error loading syntax file "Packages/RSpec/RSpec.tmLanguage": Error parsing plist xml: Failed to open file In file "Packages/RSpec/RSpec.tmLanguage" Error on Ubuntu any ideas how to fix it. Dropped the syntax_highlighting.py file into "/home/$usename$/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/User" but still getting the error.

For everyone still coming across this gist and needing more control over applying the correct syntax to files in ST2, I encourage you to consider DetectSyntax [1], a plugin I created based on JeanMertz's work above.

@survivorist use "Package Control" and install "RSpec"

I've been seeing the same error on Sublime Text 2 for Windows. Tried adding the @irakli-janiashvili version noted above to my package directory, but still receiving same error.

Thanks!
