Disable highlight in preview base on a config array of function

[Fildo7525]

Description

If you do not have a treesitter for a specific filetype for me it's latex you get errors every time your cursor is on a filetype.
The filetype is disabled in treesitter.

Error in decoration provider treesitter/highlighter.win:
Error executing lua: ...-linux64/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/treesitter/query.lua:252: Query error at 74:3. Impossible pattern:

It's extremely annoying. It would be great to have a filed in the config that accepts either table or function that determines if the filetype should use treesitter in the preview or not.

Steps to reproduce

1. open project with files that you do not have treesitter on
2. file_file with preview
3. scroll the files and find the file in the telescope.

Expected behavior

The treesitter will not be applied

Actual behavior

Even thou I have in my treesitter config latex disabled I still get errors for the treesitter, that it could not parse the preview

Minimal config

vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]
local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'
local function load_plugins()
  require('packer').startup {
    {
      'wbthomason/packer.nvim',
      {
        'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
        requires = {
          'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
          { 'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'make' },
        },
      },
      -- ADD PLUGINS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
    },
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',
      display = { non_interactive = true },
    },
  }
end
_G.load_config = function()
  require('telescope').setup()
  require('telescope').load_extension('fzf')
  -- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing Telescope and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require('packer').sync()
vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]]

You don't have a tree-sitter parser for latex or you have it but have the tree-sitter highlighting disabled?

I can't reproduce this with your provided instructions. Please edit the minimal config in the bug report to add the minimum number of changes needed to reproduce this error.

[bn-peters]

I also had this issue. I might be able to construct a minimal config etc. on the weekend, but for now:

It appears that this happens if a TS parser is installed with highlighting is disabled, like this:

require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup({
    ensure_installed = { "latex" },
    highlight = {
        enable = true,
        disable =  { "latex" },
    },
})

There are usecases for this when you want to use external syntax highlighting and plugins relying on tree-sitter. For now my workaround is uninstalling the latex parser.

[jamestrew]

Thanks for the additional info.

Here's a minimal config I tried:

local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.uv.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  {

    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    build = ":TSUpdate",
    config = function()
      require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup({
        ensure_installed = { "latex" },
        highlight = {
          enable = true,
          disable = { "latex" },
        },
      })
    end,
  },

  -- seeing if this makes a difference
  {
    "lervag/vimtex",
    lazy = false,
    enabled = false,
  },
  { "folke/tokyonight.nvim" }, -- just so I can tell highlighting is on/off
  {
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    tag = "0.1.7",
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    },
    opts = {},
  },
}

require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")

Still not able to reproduce.

You can disable highlighting for specific languages within telescope. Checkout :help telescope.defaults.preview to e.g. disable treesitter highlighting only for latex within our previewer. Let me know if that works, i am currently on mobile and confirm that this still works but i am confident right now that ive implemented support for this

[kunzaatko]

I can confirm that this is working. The relevant part of opts is

defaults = {
  preview = {
    treesitter = {
      enable = true,
      disable = { 'tex' }, -- NOTE: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/issues/3150 <17-06-24>
    },
}

[kunzaatko]

What however does not work is

require('telescope.builtin').current_buffer_fuzzy_find

where you could only disable highlighting globally.
You won't get the colours but for avoiding the error, you can define your mapping as

function()
  require('telescope.builtin').current_buffer_fuzzy_find { results_ts_highlight = vim.o.filetype ~= 'tex' }
end,
