I've recently started up a project using Typescript. When I start up Vim, open up a .tsx file and open a new line, it fails to indent:

I then open up a regular javascript file (.js), and return to my Typescript file. I then open a new line and it indents correctly:

I've tried turning on / off autoindent and cindent, and I've removed my plugins (installed via Pathogen) and brought them back and the problem seems to be consistent.

I presume there is some auto indenting being triggered by the opening of the .js file that persists to the typescript file, but I have no idea how to check / debug what is going on. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

Welp, this worked:

autocmd BufEnter *.tsx :setlocal filetype=typescript

That seemed to do the trick for me.

    The standard extension for TypeScript is .ts AFAIK. Either way, Vim doesn't have any typescript filetype as far as I can see, so it looks like you added a plugin to support this at some point?

  • See :help new-filetype (sections A and C) for the recommended methods of setting the filetype.
