Troubleshooting

Tree sitter Parse Error in lua config Files

Problem:

• One or more lines show treesitter/highligher error executing lua
• Specifically occured in packer.lua on the packer include line

Solution:

• Ensure that the vim tree sitter parser is installed:

:TSInstall vim

Fonts and Icons

If you are seeing little boxes where icons should be, you probably aren't using the right font in your terminal or you don't have a nerdfont patched font installed.

If you dont have a font:

• go to nerdfonts.com, download a font you like, install the font according to the os you are on.
• set the font of the terminal you use neovim in to use the patched font.
• voila
