The package `ert', adds Font Lock keywords to highlight the `ert-deftest' construct. Unfortunately, the regexp used does not handle the case when the name of the test contains a dash. For example, here only "alpha" is highlighted: (ert-deftest alpha-beta () This could easily be fixed by replacing the original regexp: "(\\(\\\\s *\\(\\sw+\\)?" with (which is the construct used to highlight `defun'): "(\\(\\\\s *\\(\\(?:\\sw\\|\\s_\\)+\\)?" See `ert--activate-font-lock-keywords' in the file `ert.el'. -- Anders In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.4 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.00) of 2014-01-16 on macpro.lan Repository revision: 116039 eggert@cs.ucla.edu-20140116062406-oh0d3tsfqytj28ta Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1265 Configured using: `configure --with-ns' Important settings: value of $LC_CTYPE: UTF-8 locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix Major mode: Font-Lock-Studio Minor modes in effect: shell-dirtrack-mode: t global-auto-revert-mode: t global-cwarn-mode: t minibuffer-electric-file-mode: t recentf-mode: t msb-mode: t display-time-mode: t tooltip-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t buffer-read-only: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: a n SPC t h e SPC s a m e SPC t h e i n g .
