Can't install parsers on Windows

[mrsaibaandreas]

Describe the bug

I am unable to install any parser from the nvim-treesitter module. The error

nvim-treesitter[lua]: Failed to execute the following command: { cmd = "cmd", opts = { args = { "/C", "move", "/Y", "parser.so", "C:\Users\mrsaiba\AppData\Local\nvim-data\site\pack\packer\start\nvim-treesitter\parser\\lua.so" }, cwd = "C:\Users\mrsaiba\AppData\Local\nvim-data\tree-sitter-lua", stdio = { [2] = <userdata 1>, [3] = <userdata 2> } } } The system cannot find the file specified.^M

This error persists for every language I try to install from the file treesitter.lua

require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
  -- A list of parser names, or "all" (the five listed parsers should always be installed)
  ensure_installed = { "c", "cpp", "bash", "xml", "json" },

  -- Install parsers synchronously (only applied to `ensure_installed`)
  sync_install = false,

  -- Automatically install missing parsers when entering buffer
  -- Recommendation: set to false if you don't have `tree-sitter` CLI installed locally
  auto_install = true,

  highlight = {
    enable = true,

    -- Setting this to true will run `:h syntax` and tree-sitter at the same time.
    -- Set this to `true` if you depend on 'syntax' being enabled (like for indentation).
    -- Using this option may slow down your editor, and you may see some duplicate highlights.
    -- Instead of true it can also be a list of languages
    additional_vim_regex_highlighting = false,
  },
}

To Reproduce

To reproduce this behaviour is required only to start the nvim application (either CLI or from GUI) and run it on Windows.

Expected behavior

It is expected that all the parsers are successfully installed.

Additional context

I also want to mention that if I run :TSInstall I still get the same error. Another question, is normally to have .so files in Windows ?

We cannot debug this for you, unfortunately. Please read the error message carefully and see if

1. the mentioned files exist or not
2. the mentioned commands work if entered manually.

And please read https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/wiki/Windows-support; we do not and cannot support every flavor of Windows -- it's purely best effort.

(And, yes, .so is fine on Windows; it's just a name and makes the implementation easier.)

Thank you for your answer. I'll also leave this logs, maybe other people have the same issue as me.

That's unrelated.

Ok, thanks. I'll close the issue
