@clason discovered that there's a problem with the new tree-sitter-cli 0.20.3 that it doesn't generate parser.h. You will notice this when you use homebrew. You should be able to downgrade to tree-sitter-cli 0.20.2 to fix this problem.

[nabezokodaikon]

excuse me. How can I change the version of tree-sitter-cli?

[theHamsta]

I'm not on Mac but does this work. I don't know why brew install tree-sitter@0.20.2 doesn't work.

https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases -> 0.20.2 and put it into your PATH before your homebrew PATH

Right now brew installs tree-sitter 0.20.3 which is the affected version. Maybe the tree-sitter team will release a hotfix

You could also try to not install the parsers that require installation from grammar. For this you can just delete the tree-sitter binary or https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-treesitter/blob/651d7ef33c43e13e43921f49188dcd2133c154b9/README.md#L112-L113

tree-sitter 0.20.3 will be able to generate parser that are faster to load queries for.

[nabezokodaikon]

thank you. I will try.

[clason]

@clason discovered that there's a problem with the new tree-sitter-cli 0.20.3 that it doesn't generate parser.h. You will notice this when you use homebrew. You should be able to downgrade to tree-sitter-cli 0.20.2 to fix this problem.

There is not; you just have to add the --abi flag -- that's precisely what my PR is about (which I just merged).

Max said he'll release a bugfix release next week.

(Homebrew does not allow downgrades; once a version is bumped, the old one is gone forever.)

[nabezokodaikon]

Where should I put the --abi option?

[clason]

tree-sitter generate --abi=latest

Or update nvim-treesitter, which should do this automatically now where necessary.

[clason]

Also, why do you override the compiler on macOS? That should not be necessary.

[nabezokodaikon]

I had another issue, so I just tried it.

[nabezokodaikon]

excuse me. Could you give us an explanation that will be possible from the beginning?

[nabezokodaikon]

Even if I did as I was told, it was as follows.

$ tree-sitter generate --abi=latest
No such file or directory (os error 2) 

[clason]

Well, yes, you actually have to tell it which grammar to generate a parser for (i.e., you have to be in a parser repo).

Really, updating nvim-treesitter should fix that issue (it did for me, unsurprisingly).

[nabezokodaikon]

it is complete. thank you.

[jrock2004]

I am still having this issue. What was the command that people ran to fix this?

[nabezokodaikon]

1. Updating nvim-treesitter
2. Run TSUpdate
