Syntax highlighting broken inside JSON inside Go comment

[willfaught]

Summary

Syntax highlighting appears to be broken inside JSON inside a Go general comment.

Reproduction Steps

Make this data.go file:

package main

import "encoding/json"
import "os"

/*
[{
  "header": "YouTube",
  "title": "Watched Linus Torvalds Explains Why His Kids Use Linux At School",
  "titleUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\u003dpYlPQPwEpsI",
  "subtitles": [{
    "name": "WebKnower",
    "url": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJfCYYF5b1wqfTCn6u34Q4Q"
  }],
  "time": "2026-07-27T21:44:31.474Z",
  "products": ["YouTube"],
  "activityControls": ["YouTube watch history"]
}]
*/

type entry struct {
	Title     string
	TitleURL  string
	Subtitles []struct {
		Name string
	}
	Time string
}

I tried this:

1. hx data.go

I expected this to happen:

JSON rendered like the rest of the comment, as shown here in vscode:

Instead, this happened:

this is semi-intentional, as those are treated as doc comments, as they are comments, that appear in front of a type, as per https://go.dev/doc/comment.

however i am aware, that this one should not be treated as doc comments, as there is a newline separating them, which is explicitly not what the go docs say. however, this is not actually something that helix can handle itself, as the underlying tree-sitter grammar (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-go) does not actually expose those newlines as nodes (they actually completely strip all whitespace before parsing), which means that helix cannot actually tell if there is a newline there or not.

essentially, for helix these two snippets look exactly the same:

/* this is a doc comment */
type Thing struct {}

/* this is not a doc comment */

type Thing struct {}

(this is what helix actually receives if you are interested)

(source_file
  (comment)
  (type_declaration "type"
    (type_spec
      name: (type_identifier)
      type: (struct_type "struct"
        (field_declaration_list "{" "}")))))

now, since helix treats these as doc comments, that means, that means that they are of a markdown subset, so helix injects a markdown grammar into that comment, which thinks, that the json arrays (like ["Youtube"]) are markdown links, which means, that they are highlighted as such.

all of this is defined here:

helix/runtime/queries/go/injections.scm

@m4rch3n1ng Do you recommend I copy my issue to the tree-sitter-go repo?

[m4rch3n1ng]

i am uncertain. technically, this is not something helix can fix themselves, and is up to the upstream repo to fix.

however, i have written my fair share of tree-sitter grammars, and there are few things as annoying as writing a tree-sitter grammar, that is sensitive to whitespace. in the case of the go grammar, whitespace would be (as far as i am aware) only necessary to handle in this specific case, and rewriting everything without stripping all whitespace would mean, that the grammar would probably double in size and complexity, for only this feature.

there might be one way to do that, which is a lot less annoying, but still quite cumbersome: tree-sitter allows the grammar to have custom c functions (scanners), that can parse the tree in a more procedural way. since in these scanners, whitespace would not be stripped, i would move the comment parsing to this new system and then i could look after the comment, if there is an additional newline and then decide, if the node is a doc comment or a regular one.
this would still not be ideal, as it would increase the complexity as well, but it would be nowhere near as bad as the first option.

if you want to open an issue upstream i would include that and you can mention, that i would be willing to implement this myself, if they were interested in it.

i would also not try to hold too much hope for this, as most of the official (and even semi official) tree-sitter repos have been kind of left unmaintained since the developers of those were brought in to work on the zed text editor. the last commit is almost a year old and there are a few open issues, that have been left unanswered (including one, where they are explicitly being asked about the state of the project).
