I've never programmed in lua before and I'm trying to set a colorscheme for neovim, but when I paste the theme configuration, I'm getting this error(on the post title), seems like a syntax error, but I'm not sure. I'm using Tilix as terminal on Ubuntu with packer as package manager.
Here's the adapted config:
require('kanagawa').setup({
compile = false, -- enable compiling the colorscheme
undercurl = true, -- enable undercurls
commentStyle = { italic = true },
functionStyle = {},
keywordStyle = { italic = true},
statementStyle = { bold = true },
typeStyle = {},
transparent = true, -- do not set background color
dimInactive = false, -- dim inactive window `:h hl-NormalNC`
terminalColors = { 0,17 = true }, -- define vim.g.terminal_color_{0,17}
colors = { -- add/modify theme and palette colors
palette = {},
theme = { wave = {}, lotus = {}, dragon = {}, all = {} },
},
overrides = function(colors) -- add/modify highlights
return {}
theme = "wave", -- Load "wave" theme when 'background' option is not set
background = {dark = "dragon"}
end
vim.cmd("colorscheme kanagawa")
and here is what the creators made on github
-- Default options:
require('kanagawa').setup({
compile = false, -- enable compiling the colorscheme
undercurl = true, -- enable undercurls
commentStyle = { italic = true },
functionStyle = {},
keywordStyle = { italic = true},
statementStyle = { bold = true },
typeStyle = {},
transparent = false, -- do not set background color
dimInactive = false, -- dim inactive window `:h hl-NormalNC`
terminalColors = true, -- define vim.g.terminal_color_{0,17}
colors = { -- add/modify theme and palette colors
palette = {},
theme = { wave = {}, lotus = {}, dragon = {}, all = {} },
},
overrides = function(colors) -- add/modify highlights
return {}
end,
theme = "wave", -- Load "wave" theme when 'background' option is not set
background = { -- map the value of 'background' option to a theme
dark = "wave", -- try "dragon" !
light = "lotus"
},
})
-- setup must be called before loading
vim.cmd("colorscheme kanagawa")
The end
keyword needs to be on the line above theme
and then you're missing a closing brace + parenthesis })
below background
. Tables need to be closed {}
as do function calls ()
, so maybe make it a habit to go through and count the open vs closing characters to make sure they are equal.
I would also consider using an editor with some language server protocol support for lua that can highlight syntax errors. The denizens here think these types of questions aren't great.
