Add terraform filetype

[wagensveld]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've noticed recently neovim opens tf files as filetype=terraform, I'm not sure when this change was made. As a result tree-sitter doesn't pick up this parser unless I set syntax=tf.

Describe the solution you'd like Would it be possible to add terraform as a supported filetype in package.json?

That would not be a problem! However for neovim I want to recommend https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter. It should work for filetype terraform ( https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/blob/678a7857911f20cc9445aa13d28c454ae72483f5/lua/nvim-treesitter/parsers.lua#L432 )

Would using nvim-treesitter work for you instead? Otherwise we can also add terraform as supported filetype.

Thanks for that! I have nvim treesitter installed and the hcl parser installed, when I open a tf file it defaults syntax to terraform

Setting the syntax to tf works though

Do you know if there is any additional config required to get neovim to pick up the correct syntax? Thanks

Ok it should work with nvim-treesitter, so thats a problem. I strongly suspect the nvim-treesitter setup, could you reopen this issue there (with a reproducer if possible, that would greatly help)? I'll have a look at the weekend.

One further observation: the highlighting looks kind of wrong when the filetype is tf the template expressions "${var.name_prefix}" etc should not be highlighted as string ( kind of depends on your colorscheme, but for most its not ), also the comments should be highlighted differently.

For reference: my local nvim-treesitter config

local ts = require'nvim-treesitter.configs'

ts.setup {
  highlight = {
    enable = true
  },
  indent = {
    enable = true
  },
  playground = {
    enable = true,
    disable = {},
    updatetime = 25,
    persist_queries = false,
    keybindings = {
      toggle_query_editor = 'o',
      toggle_hl_groups = 'i',
      toggle_injected_languages = 't',
      toggle_anonymous_nodes = 'a',
      toggle_language_display = 'I',
      focus_language = 'f',
      unfocus_language = 'F',
      update = 'R',
      goto_node = '<cr>',
      show_help = '?',
    },
  }
}

you can safely ignore the playground option, it just helps with debugging parsing issues once in a while.

Ahh that was it!

I didn't have highlight defined.

Thank you so much!
