I have syntax highlighting enabled within my .vimrc file. Most files load with syntax highlighting working from start. Other files (with same extensions) will open without syntax highlighting on. I then set :syntax on and it works, but i have to do it every time i open that particular file. I've searched for answers but nothing has worked for me.

Frustrated. Ideas?

What file type(s) doesn't it work for? – Mureinik Nov 17 '17 at 18:02

This is a rails project and the files are .rb . Some .rb files work others don't. – Jason Crump Nov 17 '17 at 18:06

This is for a different problem. My syntax highlight works on many files and doesn't on others. All files are the same extension and type. – Jason Crump Nov 17 '17 at 23:32
