Separate ansible language

[nikaro]

In my languages.toml config fil i'm trying to extract ansible from the yaml langue (because it annoys me when ansible-language-server tries to lint my kubernetes manifests 😒). So i am doing this:

[[language]]
name = "ansible"
comment-token = "#"
file-types = [
  { glob = "playbooks/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "playbooks/*.yml" },
  { glob = "group_vars/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "group_vars/*.yml" },
  { glob = "host_vars/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "host_vars/*.yml" },
  { glob = "vars/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "vars/*.yml" },
  { glob = "defaults/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "defaults/*.yml" },
  { glob = "tasks/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "tasks/*.yml" },
  { glob = "handlers/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "handlers/*.yml" },
  { glob = "meta/*.yaml" },
  { glob = "meta/*.yml" },
]
formatter = { command = "yamlfmt", args = ["-"] }
grammar = "yaml"
indent = { tab-width = 2, unit = "  " }
injection-regex = "ansible"
language-servers = ["ansible-language-server"]
scope = "source.yaml"
shebangs = ["ansible-playbook"]

[[language]]
name = "yaml"
formatter = { command = "yamlfmt", args = ["-"] }
language-servers = ["yaml-language-server"]

The ansible's LSP is working fine, but my "ansible files" syntax is not highlighted anymore. Any idea why?

Thanks 🙏

You'll need to set up highlight queries for the new ansible language. In your runtime directory (HELIX_RUNTIME if set, ~/.config/helix/runtime otherwise) you'll need to create queries/ansible/highlights.scm queries/ansible/injections.scm files with the contents ; inherits: yaml. grammar = "yaml" in language configuration re-uses the tree-sitter parser and then you need to set up queries. starlark is a good example of a language reusing another language's parser and queries (python).

Perfect, thank you!
