This happens when you mix Nixpkgs stable with NVF. Since we do not package treesitter ourselves (we really should do that soon) the mismatch yields an outdated treesitter (built from master branch) while NVF modules are updated to use the main branch (which will receive further development).

You have two optons:

1. Use nixpkgs unstable
2. Do not override nvf's nixpkgs with `inputs.nixpkgs.follows

Also see: #1312

[axelhd]

I use nixpkgs unstable already.
I do override nvf's nixpgs vim nixpkgs unstable. Removing the inputs.nixpkgs.follows unfortunately doesn't change anything.

[JamyGolden]

I also get this issue while using nixpkgs unstable.

[axelhd]

When using nixpkgs unstable and not overriding NVF’s nixpkgs, this issue is caused by an upstream problem in codeview. Disabling codewindow as a workaround fixes it.

[JamyGolden]

Ah great thanks! Disabling codewindow has "fixed" it.
