Activating hint floating window crashes treesitter

[rperryng]

Hey there, I was hoping to bring some attention to an existing issue in the original repo:

• Activating hint floating window crashes treesitter anuvyklack/hydra.nvim#104

It seems that activating a hydra with config.hint.type = 'window' seems to break treesitter integration somehow.

Setting any other kind of config.hint.type window luckily avoids the problem.

I can't seem to find any related error logs (via :messages or :LspInfo / :LspLog). The behaviour I see is:

1. open buffer (triggering LSP to start / attach to buffer)
2. activate Hydra
3. exit Hydra
   a. as I make edits, all my tree-sitter based plugins no longer seem to work (syntax highlighting on edited tokens breaks, and diagnostics etc don't pop up)
4. Open a new file
   a. The opened file has no syntax highlighting
   b. :LspInfo shows the old language server still running, but does not attach to the new buffer

I apologize for the lack of details, happy to provide a minimal reproducible example if needed. I will also try to dig through the code when I have some more time to try and understand the root cause. Thanks.

can you give the output of :echom &ft before the hydra is opened, and then again after things have broken?

[rperryng]

Yes sure thing, here's a screencap to demonstrate:

Screencap

1. opening a lua file and running :echo &ft (prints lua)
2. entering and exiting a hydra and running :echo &ft (still prints lua)
3. scrolling down to reveal my blank-lines indent plugin (indent-blankline) no longer working
4. opening another lua file and running echo &ft (which prints nothing, also no syntax highlighting) and :LspInfo/:LspLog

Can you send the hydra you're using, I can't reproduce this with my windows hydra, or my options hydra, both of which create floating hints.

[rperryng]

Yep, definitely. Actually, I was able to reproduce the syntax highlighting issue without having any other plugins installed... here's the entire config:

❯ tree ~/.config/nvim-hydra7
/Users/rperryng/.config/nvim-hydra7
├── init.lua
└── lazy-lock.json

files

-- init.lua

-- Install lazy
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/lazy/lazy.nvim'
if not vim.uv.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    'git',
    'clone',
    '--filter=blob:none',
    '--single-branch',
    'https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git',
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- Setup plugins
require('lazy').setup({
  {
    'nvimtools/hydra.nvim',
    config = function()
      local hydra = require('hydra')

      hydra({
        name = 'Quickfix navigation',
        config = {
          invoke_on_body = true,
          hint = {
            type = 'window',
          },
        },
        mode = 'n',
        body = '<space>HQ',
        heads = {
          {
            'n',
            function()
              vim.cmd('silent! cnext')
            end,
          },
          {
            'p',
            function()
              vim.cmd('silent! cprevious')
            end,
          },
        },
      })
    end,
  },
})

I'm unable to reproduce with the latest commit from main, is there anything keeping you from updating the plugin?

Aghh sorry, I didn't realize I was on an older version... i assumed that when I changed from using the original repo to the fork that lazy would pull the latest version but I guess as long as the commit sha in my lazy-lock.json was still valid that it wouldn't try to update it... really sorry about that.

It does seem the latest version works fine for the minimal example I gave but I still see the issues with my main configuration with all other plugins, I'll see if I can produce another minimal example with the latest version of nvimtools/hydra.nvim.
