Hi there,

Required keyword arguments (introduced in Ruby 2.1) are being

highlighted in alternating colours rather than consistently.

I have attached example images showing this behaviour. Note that

this only occurs when the the keyword arguments are required, i.e.,

they don’t have a default value. So, the following method signature

would result in the argument colours alternating:

def foo(bar:, baz:)

end

While the following method signature would result in all of the

arguments being coloured consistently:

def foo(bar: true, baz: false)

end

Also note that inserting a space before the delimiting comma between

the arguments results in consistent colouring:

def foo(bar: , baz:)

end

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks very much,

Kieran
