Syntax highlighting for just files

[CptPotato]

I tried adding syntax highlighting for just files but can't seem to get it to work.

I took the tree-sitter queries from this repository and added a [[language]] section to languages.toml like this:

[[language]]
name = "just"
scope = "source.just"
injection-regex = "(just|justfile)"
file-types = ["just"]
roots = []
comment-token = "#"
indent = { tab-width = 4, unit = "    " }

hx --health reports that highlights and text objects were found for the language. The file type is also correctly detected but I get no syntax highlighting whatsoever.

I'm not very familiar with tree-sitter so maybe I'm missing something?

Did you write a runtime/queries/just/highlights.scm file? If not, you can take inspiration from tree-sitter-just's queries and the Helix queries for make.

I used the files from the linked repo directly. The queries looked ok to me at first glance, only conditional and boolean seem to be ones that aren't used in helix. I'd expect that at least keywords and operators work which most of helix' languages use in their queries.

Does the syntax highlighting not work when there are unknown names used in a query file?

Yes, this could be the problem. Try searching for "This query could not be parsed" in your log file.
