does not work correctly for vim inside lua

[jdhao]

I am using nvim 0.6.0 release. I have installed nvim-treesitter (lua, viml parsers are installed), commentary.vim, and this plugin.

This is my config for treesitter:

require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup({
  ensure_installed = {"python", "cpp", "lua", "vim"},
  ignore_install = {}, -- List of parsers to ignore installing
  highlight = {
    enable = true, -- false will disable the whole extension
    disable = {}, -- list of language that will be disabled
  },
  context_commentstring = {
    enable = true,
    -- enable_autocmd = false,
   config = {
      vim = '" %s',
    }
  }
})

When commenting viml inside lua, my test code is:

    vim.cmd([[
      hi link LspReferenceRead Visual
      hi link LspReferenceText Visual
      hi link LspReferenceWrite Visual
      augroup lsp_document_highlight
        autocmd! * <buffer>
        autocmd CursorHold <buffer> lua vim.lsp.buf.document_highlight()
        autocmd CursorMoved <buffer> lua vim.lsp.buf.clear_references()
      augroup END
    ]])

the comment string is still --, not ", is this supported or am I doing it wrong?

Hey @jdhao! I think that this is related to this neovim issue: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16348 Vimscript highlighting does not seem to be injected correctly for me too.

Is the vim.cmd contents highlighted correctly as vimscript for you?

[jdhao]

@JoosepAlviste Nope, the viml inside vim.cmd is highlighted as string.

So https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16348 is merged. Now this will work as expected :)

Yep, this seems to work for me as well now. I'll close this for now but feel free to comment if it's not fixed for you for some reason @jdhao
