After recent update get error "norg_meta treesitter parser was not found! Many plugin features will not work"

[NickJAllen]

Prerequisites

• I am using the latest stable release of Neovim
• I am using the latest version of the plugin

Neovim Version

NVIM v0.11.6 Build type: RelWithDebInfo LuaJIT 2.1.1767980792

Neorg setup

require('neorg').setup {
      load = {
        ['core.defaults'] = {},
        ['core.concealer'] = {},
        ['core.dirman'] = {
          config = {
            workspaces = {
              notes = '~/notes',
            },
            default_workspace = 'notes',
          },
        },
      },
    }

Actual behavior

Recently update the plugin and now I get this error each time neovim starts.

norg_meta treesitter parser was not found! Many plugin features will not work

It starts without any errors

Please use

```lua
-- markdown code blocks, when sharing code!
```

With that out of the way.

1. What plugin manger are you using?
2. Did the tree-sitter-norg-meta luarock successfully install?
3. What about the tree-sitter-norg luarock? This rock is typically harder to install
4. What operating system are you using?

[max397574]

@benlubas we could perhaps add that in the issue template (afaik there is a nice way to enforce this, that the input field just is a codeblock)

[NickJAllen]

I've tried with neovim 0.11.6 and 0.12 on both Linux and macOS and have the same problem in all cases. I'm using Lazy as plugin manager.

[benlubas]

Did the tree-sitter-norg-meta luarock successfully install?
What about the tree-sitter-norg luarock? This rock is typically harder to install

When you launch neovim, does lazy pop up and try to install/build these two rocks?

You can also check for these paths:

• ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy-rocks/tree-sitter-norg/lib/lua/5.1/parser/norg.so
• ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy-rocks/tree-sitter-norg-meta/lib/lua/5.1/parser/norg_meta.so

[brglng]

I have the same problem here. The files ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy-rocks/tree-sitter-norg/lib/lua/5.1/parser/norg.so and ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy-rocks/tree-sitter-norg-meta/lib/lua/5.1/parser/norg_meta.so exist, however it seems neorg fails to find them.

[NickJAllen]

I can confirm that both of those files exist but neorg doesn't find them.

Stumbled upon the same problem. Here's the lazy log:

I temporarly got around this issue by adding tree-sitter-norg & tree-sitter-norg-meta as dependencies. So its most probably a load order issue.

My config:

return {
  'nvim-neorg/neorg',
  lazy = false, -- Disable lazy loading as some `lazy.nvim` distributions set `lazy = true` by default
  version = '*', -- Pin Neorg to the latest stable release
  config = true,
  dependencies = {
    'nvim-neorg/tree-sitter-norg',
    'nvim-neorg/tree-sitter-norg-meta',
  },

  opts = {
    load = {
      ['core.defaults'] = {},
      ['core.concealer'] = {},
      ['core.summary'] = {},
      ['core.dirman'] = {
        config = {
          workspaces = {
            my_ws = '~/neorg', -- Format: <name_of_workspace> = <path_to_workspace_root>
          },
          index = 'index.norg',
          default_workspace = 'my_ws',
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

[NickJAllen]

Adding the dependencies also fixed it for me. Thanks.

If this truly is the problem and solution. Then this looks like a lazy nvim bug.

[mikesmithgh]

It seems like the parsers are not on the runtimepath, if I add the following to my Neorg setup then all works sucessfully

vim.opt.rtp:prepend(vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/lazy-rocks/tree-sitter-norg/lib/lua/5.1')
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/lazy-rocks/tree-sitter-norg-meta/lib/lua/5.1')

Note: I'm using lazy.nvim w/ hererocks on NVIM v0.13.0-dev-261+g607fcfb37a
