Only working with html files

[madjxatw]

Both nvim-treesitter and nvim-ts-autotag have been properly configured, but it only works with html files. I couldn't manage to make it work with xml. Is this the issue of nvim-ts-autotag itself or the treesitter xml parser? nvim-treesitter started to officially deliver xml parser not long ago, so it could be buggy?

Inspecting the source, an XML file uses the same tag configuration as an HTML file: https://github.com/windwp/nvim-ts-autotag/blob/main/lua/nvim-ts-autotag/internal.lua#L36.

It's possible that the Treesitter grammar changed since this was first published, in any case, XML files use a different set of Treesitter node names than the HTML grammar. This can be verified using :TSPlaygroundToggle on both files.

I was able to get it basically working by adding the following in lua/nvim-ts-autotag/internal.lua. That lives here on my machine: ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/nvim-ts-autotag/lua/nvim-ts-autotag/internal.lua but I'm sure depends on your package manager and OS. This strategy works to prove the concept but will be removed on update I believe, so you might want to either fork or use a local copy until it makes it onto main.

1. Remove 'xml', from the local HTML_TAG.filetypes table, circa L36.
2. Insert a local XML_TAG table like this directly beneath the HTML_TAG table:

   -- stylua: ignore
   local XML_TAG = {
       filetypes              = {'xml'},
       start_tag_pattern      = 'STag',
       start_name_tag_pattern = 'Name',
       end_tag_pattern        = 'ETag',
       end_name_tag_pattern   = 'Name',
       close_tag_pattern      = 'ETag',
       close_name_tag_pattern = 'Name',
       element_tag            = 'element',
       skip_tag_pattern       = {},
   }

3. Add this table to the local all_tag table circa 106:

local all_tag = {
    HBS_TAG,
    SVELTE_TAG,
    JSX_TAG,
    XML_TAG,    --<<<- here
}

Exit, restart, and Bob's your uncle.

Verify the plugin is working HTML before doing this so you're sure it's being loaded correctly and just not working for XML.

I wasn't sure what to put for close_tag_pattern and close_name_tag_pattern so I just used the same values as the end_tag_pattern and end_name_tag_pattern items. The XML parser doesn't seem to have those differentiated "unmatched close" nodes. I could see them in the HTML but nothing corresponding in the XML TSPlayground output.

@windwp happy to put this in a PR if you're open to it, just let me know.

any update on this ? 😄

This solution is working for xml files. But In my case, I want this package to work on my tsx files. It is working fine on jsx files though. Any idea how to solve this?
