Syntax highlighting not working

[wiljam144]

When i open .norg file syntax highlighting isn't working, I'm using vimscript to configure nvim. here is the lua part of the config:

    local parser_configs = require('nvim-treesitter.parsers').get_parser_configs()

    parser_configs.norg = {
        install_info = {
            url = "https://github.com/nvim-neorg/tree-sitter-norg",
            files = { "src/parser.c", "src/scanner.cc" },
            branch = "main"
        },
    }

    require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup {
	    ensure_installed = { "norg" },
    }

    require('neorg').setup {
        -- Tell Neorg what modules to load
        load = {
            ["core.defaults"] = {}, -- Load all the default modules
            ["core.norg.concealer"] = {}, -- Allows for use of icons
            ["core.norg.dirman"] = { -- Manage your directories with Neorg
                config = {
                    workspaces = {
                        my_workspace = "~/neorg"
                    }
                }
            },
        },
    }

Did you do :TSInstall norg?

[wiljam144]

yes

I think you will need to provide a bit more information than this. Here are some starter questions:

• what version of Neovim are you using?
• what version of Neorg are you using?
• are you using packer? If so, try disabling lazy loading (if you use that)
• check the loading order of nvim-treesitter and Neorg
• are any log messages being generated?
• does this happen consistently in all of the following cases?
  1. nvim some_neorg_file.norg
  2. nvim and then :e some_neorg_file.norg
  3. nvim, then :Neorg and then :e some_neorg_file.norg
  4. what about opening any of the help pages after starting nvim in any of the above cases? I.e. do one of the above and then :help neorg

[wiljam144]

neovim ver: 0.6.0-dev
neorg ver: latest
i'm not using packer
order is checked
no log messages
happens every time in all of cases you provided
links are highlighted but everything else not

[mrossinek]

That's very weird indeed 🤔

How are links highlighted?
Can you also install treesitter playground (https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground) so that we can check two things:

1. the output of :TSPlaygroundToggle
2. the output of :TSHighlightCapturesUnderCursor once while on a link and once while not

Also please provide the output of :filter Neorg hi (preferably as a screenshot to preserve the color information)

links highlighting:

:TSPlaygroundToggle output:

when i try to execute :TSHighlitCapturesUnderCursor i get an error

:filter Neorg output

I Fixed it, what i did was running :TSEnableAll highlight and then running :e and highlighting started working

[wiljam144]

to make vim do it automatically i added

require'nvim-tresitter.configs'.setup {
    highlight = {
       enable = true
   }
}

into my config

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know! @vhyrro this is something we should add to the installation instructions! I can do that on the weekend 👍

Oh lmao! We definitely need to add this to the main branch readme then
