Can't get treesitter-context to work

[dudicoco]

Not sure if this is a bug or user error so posting it in the discussions first.
I can't get treesitter-context to show up in the preview. Tried using F7 as well as launching fzflua via :FzfLua live_grep previewer.treesitter.context=true.

The support for ts-context is somewhat of a hack as it’s not supported upstream (no cooperation) and has no official API.

Regardless, we can try as it should work automatically if enabled in your config:

• Does it work outside of fzf-lua?
• Can you you post your nvim-treesitter-context setup opts?

[dudicoco]

it works outside of fzf-lua, I have also tried using the default empty config and it didn't help

	{
		"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context",
		config = function()
			require("treesitter-context").setup({})
		end,
	},

		end,
	},

Quite honestly not sure if I want to dive into debugging this, the entire support for this is a hack which makes it very difficult to troubleshoot without local reproduction, might require adding debug prints to your local treesitter-context, I'm not super thrilled about this, you can consider support for this as a"bonus" but when it doesn't work it doesn't work :-)

Perhaps @phanen has an idea.

This feature work well for me (on linux).

Ensure you are using fzf-lua on latest commit (main branch)?

Apply the diff (cd to fzf-lua repo, patch -Np1 -i - , paste the diff, then type <c-d>).

Then run bash mini.sh, test if context window should show up.

I've tried this and it worked.
I then attempted to cleanup my entire config except for the lazy plugin manager, treesitter-context and fzf-lua and the context still doesn't show up.
What can I do to debug this?

[phanen]

idk maybe you can paste a minimal config here i can help to troibleshot

[dudicoco]

ok so I've somehow got it to work after reinstalling everything.

thank you for your help @phanen @ibhagwan
