Helix hangs when attemtpting to open a Zig file.

[paoda]

Reproduction steps

Environment

• Platform: Linux 5.15.7-arch1-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Helix version: helix v0.5.0-235-g94535fa0
• Zig version: 0.9.0-dev.1952+5d1aab72d
• ZLS version: 0.2.0

Note

I tried having ~./config/helix/languages.toml contain the following:

[[language]]
name = "zig"
language-server = {}

Surprisingly, Helix still hung when trying to open src/main.zig

What Helix was trying to open can be found here

~/.cache/helix/helix.log is not written to at any point.

Looks like maxxnino/tree-sitter-zig#8

[paoda]

I tried bumping tree-sitter-zig to maxxnino/tree-sitter-zig@cf93353 which you can see here: https://github.com/paoda/helix/commit/fddcd85d287c71516bb28e2b4f4d5bbf7ba17c45

However, it seems like the upstream issue hasn't been resolved quite yet.

[archseer]

Oh, I'm suggesting you upgrade tree-sitter itself (not the grammar) so that it includes this commit: tree-sitter/tree-sitter@25f64e1

[paoda]

Whoops, my bad. Bumping tree-sitter in helix-core and helix-syntax worked. Thanks for the clarification.

[archseer]

So the fix worked? :)

[paoda]

Yeah, I don't know why I left that out 😅 . I assume Helix will resolve this issue whenever tree-sitter receives its next update then.
