In Jinja2, how to make a string in single quotes is highlighted as blue?

Question

I'm using salt-vim to highlight YAML and Jinja2.

I would like to use single quotes for pillar.get or concatenate strings:

but also want to highlight the string as blue like in the second line.

How to do that?

My ~/.vimrc:

set backup
let day = strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
let user = substitute(system('whoami'), '\n', '', '')
if user == 'root'
    let backupdir = "/var/root/.vim/backup/".day
else
    let backupdir = $HOME."/.vim/backup/".day
endif
silent! let xyz = mkdir(backupdir, "p")
let cmd = "set backupdir=".backupdir
execute cmd
let time = strftime(".%H:%M:%S")
let cmd = "set backupext=".time
execute cmd

syntax on
set number
set background=dark
let g:solarized_termcolors = 256
let g:solarized_visibility = "high"
let g:solarized_contrast = "high"
let g:solarized_termtrans = 1
colorscheme solarized

Answer 1

hightlights correctly for me.

:setf sls

and see what happens.

Judging by your .vim file your jinja files aren't being picked up by the ftdetect which triggers on *.sls
