Nothing Happens When I try to use this in Helix editor. #1

Hi I'm probably doing something wrong but I followed the instructions in the README and there does not seem to be any syntax highlighting happening.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Oh, the instructions in the README appear to be incomplete.

It appears you will have to copy the contents of the queries folder from this repository into ~/.config/helix/runtime/queries/typst/. Alternatively, clone the repository somewhere and then symlink the queries folder:

$ mkdir -p ~/.config/helix/runtime/queries/
$ ln -s ~/development/tree-sitter-typst/queries/ ~/.config/helix/runtime/queries/typst

Replace ~/development/tree-sitter-typst with the absolute path to your clone.

Hello, thank you for the response. I tried symlinking the clone to the folder and this did not seem to do anything. Any ideas?

Try running

$ helix --grammar fetch && helix --grammar build

Check if that works.

If not, then does cat ~/.config/helix/runtime/queries/typst/highlights.scm output anything?

Running your first command returned: Error: data did not match any variant of untagged enum GrammarSource in "grammar.source"

Running the second command did print:

I retried with the newest update and it seems to work now although it only highlights strings a different color. I think that is a problem with my theme though.
