JavaScript/TSX Invalid Node Type "function_expression"

[babucarr32]

Summary

When I pulled from master yesterday the syntax highlighting was broken for js, ts, and tsx. When I checked the logs I saw the following error

helix_core::syntax [ERROR] Failed to compile highlights for 'javascript': invalid node type "function_expression"

The commit logs from master shows that its comming from here
Checking out a few commits before this commit fixed the issue for me.

does hx --grammar fetch and hx --grammar build fix this? sounds like your queries are up-to-date while the grammar is not.

Thanks for your reply. Nope, it doesn't. I tried this command multiple times. I Deleted the repo and runtime folder ~/.config/helix/runtime, cloned the project and built from scratch, removed my local languages.toml file (~/.config/helix/languages.toml) but still the issue persist.

ok hm not quite sure then, can you try out the following, so i can potentially troubleshoot:

1. what is the output of hx -V?
2. can you give me the output of cat ~/.config/helix/runtime/grammars/sources/javascript/.git/HEAD, please?
3. is there still a local ~/.config/helix/languages.toml file? if yes can you give me its content? if you have deleted it, have you run hx --grammar fetch and build after you have deleted it?
4. i have no idea about macos and if it even has that command, but can you run strings <path to your hx binary> | grep -C1 "name = \"javascript\""?
5. can you give me the full error message for it? there should be like 3 or so more lines after the Failed to compile highlights for 'javascript' line.

thanks! and i'll hopefully be able to help you then ...
