How to solve treesitter/highlighter: Error executing lua problem in neovim config

I'm currently using Neovim 6.0. And I also use the following neovim-config : https://github.com/rafi/vim-config.
After installation, I created a python program to test and a problem encountered which are as follows:

treesitter/highlighter: Error executing lua: ...im/0.6.0/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/treesitter/query.lua:161: query: invalid node type at position 5622 ~ pdb~ ⮡ Snippet [VSnip] st

None of these answers worked for me.

I just did TSDisable highlight and the errors went away. Also, syntax highlighting (c++) still remained afterwards 🤷‍♂️

Had the same problem recently: Ran :checkhealth to find that one of my plugins needed NeoVim v.0.10.

Afterwhich, running :checkhealth again will list your TreeSitter parsers as missing, which requires a tedious job: Running TSInstall <parser> again.

A bit annoying that the master branch of that neovim repo causes errors but I replaced the treesitter.lua config of the master branch with:

-- treesitter.lua
return {
  "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
  build = ":TSUpdate",
  config = function()
    local configs = require("nvim-treesitter.configs")

    configs.setup({
      ensure_installed = {
        "c",
        "lua",
        "vim",
        "vimdoc",
        "query",
        "elixir",
        "heex",
        "javascript",
        "html",
        "python",
        "yaml",
        "xml",
        "ruby",
        "markdown",
        "cmake",
        "typescript",
      },
      sync_install = false,
      auto_install = true,
      highlight = { enable = true },
      indent = { enable = true },
      ignore_install = {},
      modules = {},
    })
  end,
}

Then another :Lazy sync and :TSUpdate and all errors were gone. Of course :checkhealth always gives some direction too :)

It happens to me! While typing :help or :h xxx-xxx and executing it, problem will happen!

Just delete the built-in parser like c.dll/lua.dll/query.dll/vim.dll/vimdoc.dll in Neovim\lib\nvim\parser. Then all will be OK!

In my configuration I resolved these errors by prepending my personal directory to the runtime path, so that they were used before the ones installed with nvim

-- The tree-sitter cli is configured to look in this directory, so we want nvim to share
local tsDir = vim.fs.normalize("$LOCALAPPDATA\\tree-sitter", { expand_env = true })
    
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(tsDir)

require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup({
    parser_install_dir = tsDir,
...

Maybe you need "vim" and "vimdoc" in ensure_installed. It helped me.

{
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    build = ":TSUpdate",
    config = function()
        local config = require("nvim-treesitter.configs")
        config.setup({
            ensure_installed = {"lua", "go", "javascript", "vim", "c", "vimdoc"},
            highlight = { enable = true },
            indent = { enable = true }
        })
    end
}

Run :TSUpdate than :checkhealth if it show error with treesitter try :TSInstall vim it will ask you to reinstall, the quit and reopen vim and it should work,

I have found error in treesitter with gcc that i didn't know about and this soveled it as well

Same thing happened right after I ran :PackerSync command to upgrade all my nvim plugins(I use packer for managing plugins, YMMV). It seemed like treesitter introduced some breaking changes in the latest commits.

I ran :checkhealth and found errors for rust, javascript, typescript, and tsx.

I tried to re-install those parsers by running :TSInstall rust javascript typescript tsx, and rebooted my nvim. And it resolved the issue.

I ran :checkhealth and found this:

Legend: H[ighlight], L[ocals], F[olds], I[ndents], In[j]ections +) multiple parsers found, only one will be used x) errors found in the query, try to run :TSUpdate {lang} ~

The following errors have been detected: ~

  • ERROR vimdoc(highlights): ...im/0.9.4/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/treesitter/query.lua:259: query: invalid node type at position 615 for language vimdoc
    vimdoc(highlights) is concatenated from the following files: | [ERROR]:"/Users/stevencamillieri/.local/share/nvim/lazy/nvim-treesitter/queries/vimdoc/highlights.scm", failed to load: ...im/0.9.4/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/treesitter/query.lua:259: query: invalid node type at position 615 for language vimdoc

so I ran :TSUpdate vimdoc as instructed and it's fixed!

I've faced the same issue, I've removed the Markdown parser which is not installed by the nvim-treesitter (as it told me when I run :TSUninstall markdown) and that's fixed my issue, because there's no parser to run when I open markdown files now, of course this is not a solution for you if you care to have a Markdown parser.

sudo rm /usr/local/lib/nvim/parser/markdown.so
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/nvim/parser/markdown_inline.so

I did :checkhealth and figured out that "c" and "lua" are failing for treesitter, so I changed my config as

-- plugins/treesitter.lua
local config = require 'nvim-treesitter.configs'
config.setup {
     ...
     ignore_install = { "c", "lua" },
     highlight = { 
        ....,
        disable = { "c", "lua" },
     },
 }

and the error was gone

You can also experience similar treesitter errors when installing nvim via snap. See here. In my case, I used the snap package because the latest neovim version on Ubuntu was significantly out of date.

If this is your case, you can install the latest version of neovim using the PPA repo.

  1. First, remove the snap package:
sudo snap remove nvim
  1. Next, install nvim from the PPA repo to get the latest version:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install neovim

Note: This installs the latest, "unstable" version of neovim, which could have bugs. You could use the "stable" PPA, but it is also out of date.

See also here for other ways of installing neovim without using the native Ubuntu package manager.

What worked for me is similar to that answered by Oleksiy, except add vim to the ensure_installed table instead of cmake

Remember, in treesitter 'c', 'help', 'lua', and 'vim' are part of the core functionality of Neovim. But that means if you are seeing this error, a sure fire way to make sure they are all installed is to run:

:TSInstall c help lua vim

For me helped adding cmake to ensure_installed in the treesitter config section of .config/nvim/init.lua:

-- [[ Configure Treesitter ]]
-- See `:help nvim-treesitter`
require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup {
  -- Add languages to be installed here that you want installed for treesitter
  ensure_installed = { 'c', 'cpp', 'go', 'lua', 'python', 'rust', 'typescript', 'help', 'cmake' },

Configuration was based on https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

I just solved it using :TSInstall vim.

Actually, run :checkhealth and the error in there would help in figuring out what is missing.

I had a similar issue. I ran :TSUpdate in Neovim to update Treesitter plugin and the error message disapear after relaunching.
