Steps to reproduce
Just try to open any file and it shows up if i have the rainbow enabled.

Expected behavior
Not to have this error?

Screenshots

Answer 1 · 2022-03-01T16:29:49.000Z

nvim -v should be pasted instead of being a screenshot. Also I can't find that commit anywhere in neovim's git log

I think everyone is having this error.

Answer 4 · 2022-03-01T23:09:59.000Z

nvim -v should be pasted instead of being a screenshot. Also I can't find that commit anywhere in neovim's git log

I literally cloned again the neovim/neovim repo and make && make install neovim two hours ago, my version it's the literal last commit.

@PablloSC your neovim is from 4 December, you need to update

Answer 6 · 2022-03-02T04:10:33.000Z

@hrqmonteiro I can't reproduce this with any file, can you send one?

Answer 7 · 2022-03-03T09:13:16.000Z

@p00f for me, this happens when I open ~/.config/nvim/init.lua.

`nvim -v`

@tversteeg your neovim is from 10 December

Answer 9 · 2022-03-03T09:58:46.000Z

I've downgraded to the latest Debian repository version and now everything works again.

Answer 10 · 2022-03-03T10:00:00.000Z

Yes - either use a stable release or the latest version of nightly (not 3 months old)

Same thing here, but also happens on my TypeScript/JavaScript files, so that's what's a bummer for me right now.

Answer 12 · 2022-03-03T15:11:19.000Z

Same thing here

I can't reproduce with that file either

Answer 13 · 2022-03-03T15:34:12.000Z

i back to version v0.6.1 and works, thanks

Answer 14 · 2022-03-03T18:42:15.000Z

Same thing here

I can't reproduce with that file either

Do you realize that, even though YOU can't reproduce, this is happening with more than one person? So saying that you can't reproduce doesn't help, right?

Answer 15 · 2022-03-03T18:44:20.000Z

No, this is only happening with you. Everyone else used wrong versions of neovim. Me saying that I can't reproduce means that you are on your own, good luck.

Answer 16 · 2022-03-03T20:42:24.000Z

I can confirm that bumping neovim helped. I though I had it updated but it turned out brew bundle was swallowing rebase error in git repo. After cleaning it up and executing brew upgrade ... I no longer see this error na it was relevant for me in lua, python, json and yml sources.

hey i had the same problem there is some problem with nvim nightly because i downgraded from nvim-nightly to nvim and its now working

Answer 18 · 2022-03-18T03:49:49.000Z

Yes chiming in to say nightly caused issue for me too. Not sure if breaking change or not but FYI.

Same issue on v0.7.0 stable from homebrew.

Answer 20 · 2022-08-13T21:03:09.000Z

I have exactly same problem, after some study of traceback, it looks like related to wrong version of runtime:
There were some changes on range function's argument in runtime/lua/vim/highlight.lua.
After updating to latest runtime, problem resolved.

runtime/lua/vim/highlight.lua (argument changes)

nvim-ts-rainbow/lua/rainbow/internal.lua (calling range function above)
