vim.opt.filetype is empty on non-chezmoi files

[Nitestack]

Like the title says, the filetype (when I checked the filetype with set filetype) is empty when I edit non-chezmoi files in the chezmoi source dir.

For example, I want to edit a regular Lua file without templating, which is located in the chezmoi source dir. Some treesitter functionalities are not working because filetype is empty

When I removed the plugin from the spec, filetype was lua (when I checked the filetype with set filetype) as usual. I can't tell which commit it was that caused this.

My config looks like this

-- chezmoi.lua.tmpl
{
  "alker0/chezmoi.vim",
  lazy = false,
  init = function()
    vim.g["chezmoi#source_dir_path"] = "{{ .chezmoi.sourceDir }}"
    vim.g["chezmoi#use_tmp_buffer"] = true
  end,
}

Thank you for reporting this. However I'm still unable to reproduce this.

I need more information to be able to reproduce this:

1. Your Neovim is Windows version?
2. What does :echo v:version (when editing a file) show?
3. Do both chezmoi edit ~/path/to/dest/file and nvim ~/path/to/src/file show same behavior?
4. What does chezmoi execute-template '{{ println .chezmoi.config.edit.hardlink }}' show?
5. Does it change anything if you disable each your plugin except chezmoi.vim and nvim-treesitter?

Please try running these command in your non-chezmoi file and tell outputs if you don't care about privacy of your dotfiles directory structure:

• :scriptnames
• :echo join(filter(split(execute('let'), '\n'), 'v:val =~# "chezmoi[#_]"'), "\n")

The details you've given are very helpful for me, thank you. I will look into the cause of the problem.

[xfzv]

I'm experiencing the same behavior on Neovim nightly:

% nvim -v
NVIM v0.10.0-dev-3024+g158e32972-dirty

It doesn't occur on 0.9.5 with the same setup:

return {
  "alker0/chezmoi.vim",
  init = function()
    vim.g["chezmoi#source_dir_path"] = "{{ .chezmoi.sourceDir }}"
    vim.g["chezmoi#use_tmp_buffer"] = true
  end,
}

Likewise, running set ft in any *.tmpl file returns filetype=chezmoitmpl, which results in no syntax highlighting at all in *.tmpl files.

Again, this only occurs on Neovim nightly for me, it works as expected on 0.9.5.

Hi @xfzv, thank you for your reporting it. However, the original issue was reported before v0.10 is released, so a v0.10-only problem could come from other causes. Please open another issue ticket with a description of the behavior that you are experiencing.

[alker0]

@xfzv, Sorry for my confusing you with a wrong direction. I made a mistake and thought the Neovim v0.10 has just released. The original reporter, Nitestack could use v0.10 as well in according to the dotfiles repo. The information you have given, that the problem occurs in only v0.10, should help me a lot to reproduce the behavior and find a cause of this issue. Thank you.

[xfzv]

No worries. I assume OP is also using Nightly considering the multiple ~\AppData\Local\bob\nightly lines.

I'm using tree-sitter 0.22.5 (on Linux).

Feel free to let me know if you need additional details that could help.

[alker0]

Updating this plugin should make it work for you with setting correct file type even in Neovim v0.10.

[xfzv]

Can confirm #77 fixes the issue on my end with 0.10.

Thank you!
