I am attempting to implement treesit for the current elixir-mode using the branch feature/trees-sitter. For implementing beginning-of-defun-function using treesit I am running into an issue where the Emacs will hang indefinitely. Using (setq-local treesit-defun-type-regexp (rx (or "call"))) yields the same result. For the following node-at-point output (do_block (call target: (identifier))) with Elixir code # foo.ex defmodule Foo do <>def bar(), do: "bar" end When I call `(treesit-search-forward-goto (rx (or "call")) 'start nil t)` the function `treesit-search-forward` seems to get stuck. Elixir does not strictly have a begin function, but can be determined as one of the following: ; * modules and protocols (call target: (identifier) @ignore (arguments (alias) @name) (#match? @ignore "^(defmodule|defprotocol)$")) @definition.module ; * functions/macros (call target: (identifier) @ignore (arguments [ ; zero-arity functions with no parentheses (identifier) @name ; regular function clause (call target: (identifier) @name) ; function clause with a guard clause (binary_operator left: (call target: (identifier) @name) operator: "when") ]) (#match? @ignore "^(def|defp|defdelegate|defguard|defguardp|defmacro|defmacrop|defn|defnp)$")) @definition.function The elixir tree sitter implementation is here: https://github.com/elixir-lang/tree-sitter-elixir I lack the knowledge to further debug this or find a clean workaround, but I'm almost sure that treesit-search-forward should never hang.
