Help with elixir-ts-mode in doom-emacs config

I’ve been checking my own config and the only other thing I can think of is to also uncomment tree-sitter module, apart from remembering to doom sync after making the changes.

@franciscoj what version of emacs are you using?

I’m using 30.2, which is the one that comes with Arch Linux Arch Linux - emacs 30.2-3 (x86_64)

There was a discussion about it recently in Discord and the conclusion was that it’s rather hard and maybe possible using polymode with some custom glue code. However, I find this slightly suspicious, as it does work in Zed and they both use tree sitter for it.

Personally, I never got it to work and stopped caring.

Update: I’m glad I wrote I gave up, because I think I got it to work now with this in config.el:

;; Add highlighting for Elixir code inside HEEx's curly braces
(defun my/elixir-ts-embed-elixir-in-heex ()
  (when (treesit-ready-p 'heex)
    (setq-local
     treesit-range-settings
     (append treesit-range-settings
             (treesit-range-rules
              :embed 'elixir
              :host 'heex
              :local t
              '((expression (expression_value) @cap)
                (directive (expression_value) @cap)
                (directive (partial_expression_value) @cap)
                (directive (ending_expression_value) @cap)))))))

(add-hook 'elixir-ts-mode-hook #'my/elixir-ts-embed-elixir-in-heex)

I think that I got the original message from @ggarciajr wrong, I had indeed the same issue as him, however with your suggestion for config.el I made it work.

Thanks!

It seems emacs 30.2 tree-sitter support is limited. maybe that will improve on the 31x.

And yes, glue-code was the only way I found to make tree-sitter work properly on heex templates or in ~H sigils.

I’ll wait until the next version. I’m still evaluating if I want to move to emacs

I’m on 30.2 myself. But I think I don’t use built-in tree sitter grammars, but at some point updated them. Perhaps by running M-x treesit-install-language-grammar for both Elixir and HEEx, although TBH I’m not sure.
