Defining my own textobjects as shown in docs isn't working about nvim-treesitter-textobjects

[stsewd]

@stsewd could you elaborate on what you mean? I'm running into the same issue...

@dlants create a file in ~/.config/nvim/after/queries/go/textobjects.scm (node) @mycustomobject with your custom queries, and then in your config

require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
  textobjects = {
    select = {
      enable = true,
      lookahead = true,

      keymaps = {
        -- You can use the capture groups defined in textobjects.scm
        ["af"] = "@mycustomobject",
     },
   },
}

@mawkler Maybe you need to put ; extends

I experienced the same attempt to index local 'query' (a nil value) error when trying to define custom textobjects for the Go language. I threw in some debugging and discovered that the plugin was falling back to the comment language at some point during the text object flow. I've got no idea if this should be expected, but removing unused languages including the comment language silenced the error.

Unfortunately, the custom textobjects still don't seem to trigger for me after this change.

I think this option should be deprecated and instead recommend putting your custom queries on ~/.config/nvim/after/queries/go/textobjects.scm

@stsewd I can't get your solution to work. I tried creating the following textobjects.csm file

;; ~/.config/nvim/after/queries/typescript/textobjects.scm
(method_definition) @mymethod

And I'm using the following minimal lazy.nvim config:

{
  'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter',
  dependencies = 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects',
  build = ':TSUpdate',
  config = function()
    require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup({
      ensure_installed = 'all',
      highlight = {
        enable = true,
      },
      textobjects = {
        move = {
          enable = true,
          goto_next_start = {
            [']m'] = '@mymethod'
          }
        }
      }
    })
  end
}

Nothing happens when I press ]m inside a TypeScript file (with a bunch of methods). I want ]m to jump to the next method. What am I doing wrong?

[mawkler]

@kiyoon That works, thank you!

Do you have a link to some resource that explains what ; extends does? I couldn't find any info online.

FWIW, not sure if it's the same, but I learned about using ; extends in the context of nvim-treesitter here.
