Please provide your editor name, plugins and settings.
nil
doesn't provide syntax highlighting. We only provides semantic tokens (if you enable it), and the coloring is done by your editor theme.
I set it up with vscode like pointed out in the readme using the nix-ide plugin with settings:
{
// ...
"nix.enableLanguageServer": true, // Enable LSP.
"nix.serverPath": "nil" // The path to the LSP server executable.
}
This is what is shown in the editor (red usually means syntax error, but there is none):
Cannot reproduce. Could you provide the output of your nil --version
?
Please ensure both nil
and Nix IDE
plugin are on their latest versions. If you have other plugins or theme installed, also try to disable them.

Something might be wrong.
If I type something completely invalid into nix.serverPath
, it complains about not finding the server, but still highlights the code with the same broken patterns. So I guess it just defaults to some other server and does that even when I configure it to use nil
.
OK, now it works. It was some issue with managing vscode declaratively, but having programs.vscode.mutableExtensionsDir = true
.
The state shown in my vscode extensions GUI was not representing reality. Now, after disabling mutableExtensionsDir
, everything works as expected.
Sorry for wasting your time on this. At least this might be useful for others having the same issue.
