Malformed patch

[zacofany]

Hi,
I'm getting:
[18:52:21] root@openHABianDevice:/etc/openhab/sitemaps# sudo patch /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax < /tmp/Syntax.patch
patching file /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax
Hunk #1 succeeded at 214 (offset 15 lines).
patch: **** malformed patch at line 30: +

Can you help me with that?

I am not sure why it does not work.

Maybe the original file got changed and the patch is not compatible anymore.

Anyway:

You can just edit the file manually:

Remove rules| form the line file (rules|rocks)$ Debian\srules.

And add

file ..\*\\.(items)$ openHAB\sItems
include openhab-items.syntax  

file ..\*\\.(sitemap)$ openHAB\sSitemap
include openhab-sitemap.syntax

file ..\*\\.(persist)$ openHAB\sPersistence
include openhab-persist.syntax

file ..\*\\.(rules)$ openHAB\sRules
include openhab-rules.syntax

file ..\*\\.(script)$ openHAB\sScript
include openhab-rules.syntax

at the end of the file before the unknown lines.

Because I am using VScode to edit my openHAB files I think I will not try to fix this issue.

This way? I'm still getting errors.

I don't prefere Microsoft operating systems and I like mcedit for coding on linux,

I just tried to patch the file on on of my RaspberryPis (without openHAB) and got the same error.

patching file /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax

Looks like the original Syntax file was changed in a newer release.

So I updated the patch file and this repository.

If your Syntax file is not corrupted you should be able to just try again.

curl -L -o /tmp/Syntax.patch https://github.com/CWempe/openhab-mcedit/raw/master/Syntax.patch
sudo patch /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax < /tmp/Syntax.patch

If the original file is corrupted I hope you have a backup.
Otherwise un- and reinstalling mc might help.

Thanks for reporting this bug.

btw: VScode is an incredible open source tool and supported by many operating systems beside Windows. Give it a try sometime. ;)
There is even a Version with less "Microsoft features". https://vscodium.com/
