TIL: How to Fix Neorg Metadata Tree Sitter Issues With NixVim
If you are like me, you may be configuring your Neovim configuration using NixVim. Which is a “framework” making it easier to configure Neovim using mostly Nix configuration. Allowing us to keep most of our config in one language, at least in my case.
I started using Neorg to manage my notes and to-do lists in my “second-brain”, but noticed that the metadata part was not being highlighted as I expected.
My config looked something like:
{
programs.nixvim = {
plugins = {
neorg = {
enable = true;
lazyLoading = true;
modules = {
# ...
};
};
treesitter = {
grammarPackages = with config.programs.nixvim.plugins.treesitter.package.builtGrammars; [
norg
];
};
};
};
}
Turns out there is another tree sitter package for the n Neorg metadata, but this is not available with nvim-treesitter. Hence, also not available with Nixvim. I was able to resolve my issue my using the tree-sitter specific grammar like so:
{
programs.nixvim = {
plugins = {
neorg = {
enable = true;
lazyLoading = true;
modules = {
# ...
};
};
treesitter = {
grammarPackages = with pkgs.tree-sitter-grammars; [
tree-sitter-norg
tree-sitter-norg-meta
];
};
};
};
}
It looks like this. That’s it!
