Syntax Highlighting Not Working with LazyVim Starter Setup

[Shion1305]

Hi everyone,

I’m new to LazyVim and started with the LazyVim/starter configuration. I expected syntax highlighting to work out of the box, but I can’t seem to get it enabled. Here’s what I’ve tried:

1. Treesitter installation

   • Ran :TSInstall typescript and :TSInstall go, which report they are already installed.
   • No syntax highlighting appears even though these parsers are installed.

2. Clearing config and reinstalling

   • Deleted my ~/.config/nvim, ~/.local/share/nvim, and ~/.local/state/nvim directories.
   • Reinstalled LazyVim/starter, but the issue persists.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Neovim (with a recent version).
2. Clone LazyVim/starter and run it.
3. Open any Typescript or Go file.
4. Observe that there is no syntax highlighting.

Expected Behavior
Syntax highlighting should be enabled by default or after installing the required Treesitter parsers.

Actual Behavior
No syntax highlighting is shown.

Additional Details

• Neovim version: (please specify your exact version, e.g., NVIM v0.9.1)
• Operating system: (please specify your OS and version)
• Any error messages?: No specific errors, but highlighting never appears.

I appreciate any help or guidance on how to fix this issue. Let me know if you need more information. Thank you!

I would recommend trying the LazyVim discussions https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim - have you installed TypeScript support using extras http://www.lazyvim.org/extras ?
