 Rajas Paranjpe | Is Zed better than Lapce? | 02:33:51 |
| Rajas Paranjpe | I think it is but I haven't tried Lapce in a long time so idk | 02:34:08 |

 mExplorer | Hi, Lapce shows me the option Restart to update to 4.04. But after the restart it's further sticking on 0.3.1. How can I get the current version? | 20:29:38 |
 pj | download from website or github | 20:30:11 |
| mExplorer | I've installed it for a while via git clone/ cargo build --release.
How can I clean deinstall it, bevor downloading the new version, for example as a deb package.? | 20:32:09 |
| pj | there is no installation via cargo build | 20:32:39 |
| mExplorer | I've this folder structure, not only a binary:

| steveej | hey, would someone guide me on the architecture of syntax highlighting? i'm interested in adding it for the Nix language. i'd like to start by understanding why the Nix LSP plugin doesn't add syntax highlighting, and whether it architecturally could | 15:47:21 |
 tmpod | Syntax highlighting is done either through TreeSitter or an LSP. The former is a incremental parser generator that supports useful AST queries that can be used to implement syntax highlighting, while the latter is a protocol for handling IDE-level language features, including semantic syntax highlighting. | 16:02:38 |
| tmpod | I think it's always worth having a TreeSitter grammar, as it provides really good and lightweight syntax highlighting (and more advanced features such as smarter text objects for vim and the like) | 16:03:34 |
| tmpod | But if you want real language support, you'll need to use/make an LSP server. | 16:04:01 |
| tmpod | I'm not entirely familiar with Lapce's arch, but I believe the TS stuff is built into the editor itself, while LSP is included through the plugin system (which works with WASI bundles) | 16:06:15 |

| pj | if it's already added, if not then it needs to be added to grammar list and compiled | 16:19:45 |

https://docs.lapce.dev/features/syntax-highlighting#queries thanks!
so i grabbed the file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nix-community/tree-sitter-nix/master/queries/highlights.scm and put it in ~/.config/lapce-stable/queries/nix/highlights.scm. i don't see syntax highlighting with that.
maybe related, i'm getting the following error on start:
$ lapce -n . --wait
2024-07-16T17:35:15.072862Z ERROR lapce_app::app: failed to fetch grammars: can't find support grammars
| 17:35:58 |
| steveej | oh, it actually works for some nix files! it doesn't work for flake.nix files, for default.nix files it does. | 17:37:44 |
| pj | Recommend restarting if you didn't, but also grammar is probably outdated | 17:38:09 |
| pj | or the highlight query might be not for this version of grammar | 17:38:23 |
