Loading issue as of Sublime version 4186

Plugin will not load with error:

Error loading syntax file "PackagesEJS 2/EJS.sublime-syntax": Apparent recursion within a with_prototype action: 25000 context sanity limit hit

Which version of Sublime Text are you using?

Also, does this happen for every EJS file, or only certain ones? Can you make a very simple EJS file and see if it loads when viewing that file?

Sublime Text version 4189, but the issue started in 4186.

The plugin will not load even with a completely blank file.

It looks like the issue is something with the "with_prototype" section. If the "with_prototype" is changed to "prototype" or commented out completely the plugin loads, but of course does not recognize the ejs syntax correctly.

Are you on Linux? I couldn't reproduce on Windows or Mac, so I created an Ubuntu VM and was able to reproduce there.

I have the same issues:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Sublime Text 4: 4189 (latest stable)
Node.js: v22.11.0 (not sure if this is relevant)

For now I'm using ERB syntax highlighting. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

@wout Thanks for the report. It seems this issue affects only Linux. I believe this is a bug in Sublime Text itself that came with a recent update, so I'll try reporting directly to them.
