Error detected while processing function vimtex#nvim#check_treesitter

[sjacobsson]

Description

When opening a .tex file in neovim, I get an error message saying that module 'vim.treesitter.highlighter', field package.preload['vim.treesitter.highlighter'], and a bunch of files are missing.

Sorry if this is not a vimtex problem!

Steps to reproduce

Putting this code in my init.vim reproduces the error message:

let g:plugged_home = '~/.vim/plugged'
call plug#begin(g:plugged_home)
        Plug 'lervag/vimtex'
call plug#end()

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

When opening a .tex file, I get the following error message:

Error detected while processing function vimtex#nvim#check_treesitter:

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

No

You are using neovim 0.4.3 while the latest version is 0.7

I guess this check only works for neovim 0.5+

[sjacobsson]

Thank you for pointing this out! That is probably the problem then. Sorry for opening an issue.

[lervag]

I would say it makes sense to update. However, I also currently write in the docs that neovim 0.4.3 is supported, so I don't think it is good that it should error out like this. I'll look into if I can fix it.
