Dust file doesn't open in Webstorm IDE 8.0.5

I am trying to open a Dust (.dust) file in WebStorm but it doesn't open. I also installed Dust Plugin from WebStorm Plugin repository but I still can't open a Dust file. I am using WebStorm 8.0.5.

I also tried to open Dust with File -> Open option but I got an error saying "File of this type can't be opened in WebStorm"?

Can someone please help with this?

Solution

  • Now I can open Dust files in WebStorm IDE. All I had to do is add a plugin for Dust support and then update plugin configuration to support *.dust file.

    Here are the steps:

    • On your WebStorm (Mac version), click on Preferences -> Plugins.
    • Click Browse Repositories, search for Dust. Click Install Plugin on right side frame of Dust Plugin.
    • Restart your IDE.
    • Open Preferences -> File Types
    • Select Dust Templating Language.
    • Edit Registered Patterns and add *.dust besides *.tl
    • Apply the changes and now you should be able to open Dust files with proper IDE support for syntax and color highlighting in WebStorm.
