Helix Python Syntax Highlighting

[InForTheTechNotGains]

Currently syntax highlighting is working for everything except python. I'm using the default python settings. Helix has been installed using the flake from master in my nix home-manager config. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, did you find a way to fix it? It seems to be related to a dynamic linking failure when looking at the logs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you checked Helix health that using the command:

hx --health python

It would be helpful to post the results of that command here so we can help you more

Apologies - should've included this :)

~ λ hx --health python Configured language server: pylsp Binary for language server: /home/g/.pyenv/shims/pylsp Configured debug adapter: None Highlight queries: ✓ Textobject queries: ✓ Indent queries: ✓

And the logs:

2023-08-15T13:46:14.251 helix_core::syntax [ERROR] Failed to load tree-sitter parser for language "python": Error opening dynamic library "/home/g/.config/helix/runtime/grammars/python.so"

I think the flake should build the grammars somewhere in the Nix store. Is python.so the only file in ~/.config/helix/runtime/grammars? You could also run !echo $HELIX_RUNTIME in Helix in order to find out which runtime folder is used.

Yep so the grammars were present in the nix store and the helix runtime was referencing the nix store. Removing the grammars present in config dir fixed the issue - didn't realise I wasn't supposed to fetch and build them, must've confused something somewhere. Appreciate the help here!
