Repo map for YAML with custom .aider.queries not working on macOS

Open Randalix opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

Hello,

I'm unable to get the repo map to recognize symbols in YAML files using a custom .aider.queries/yaml.scm file. Despite an extensive troubleshooting process, the repo map for .yaml files remains blank.

Environment:

OS: macOS (Apple Silicon)

Python: 3.12

Installation Method: Initially pipx, now a clean venv with pip. The issue persists with both.

Problem: The repo map is not populated for any .yaml files, even with a valid .aider.queries/yaml.scm file in the git root. The map works correctly for other file types like .ino (C++).

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Steps Taken: I have confirmed the following:

Aider Version: 0.86.1

File Path: The query file is correctly located at .aider.queries/yaml.scm.

Configuration: The effective configuration has subtree_only: false.

Clean Installation: The issue persists even after completely removing pipx installations and reinstalling aider-chat in a fresh Python venv.

Dependency Checks: We've confirmed that the tree_sitter_languages library is installed in the environment, but it seems aider is not using the custom queries provided for it.

To Reproduce:

Create a git repository with Home Assistant YAML files.

Create a .aider.queries/yaml.scm file in the root.

Run aider and /map.

Log Files: Here is the output of aider --verbose from my latest attempt with a clean venv installation.
