example "scope" ]s mapping seemingly does nothing

[aktau]

Describe the bug

Simply put, the ]s, [s, ]S, [S mappings do nothing for me (no movement), when attempting to navigate around simple C and Go files (haven't tried others yet). Mappings like ]m, [m, ]M, [M do work.

I'm not sure if this problem is PEBKAC or not, but having seen locals.scm for Go/C/..., I suspect it isn't. The README gives this example:

["]s"] = { query = "@scope", query_group = "locals", desc = "Next scope" },

But there is no movement (see below). I've verified that nmap ]s shows me an anonymous Lua function is bound.

To Reproduce

-- reproducer.lua
vim.opt.runtimepath:append("$HOME/.vim/bundle/nvim-treesitter")
vim.opt.runtimepath:append("$HOME/.vim/bundle/nvim-treesitter-textobjects")

local treesitter_parsers = {
  "c",
  "cpp",
  "go",
  "lua",
}
require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup({
  ensure_installed = treesitter_parsers,
  sync_install = false,
  highlight = {
    enable = true,
    additional_vim_regex_highlighting = false,
  },
  textobjects = {
    move = {
      enable = true,
      set_jumps = true, -- whether to set jumps in the jumplist
      goto_next_start = {
        [']m'] = '@function.outer',
        ["]s"] = { query = "@scope", query_group = "locals", desc = "Next scope" },
      },
      goto_next_end = {
        [']M'] = '@function.outer',
        ["]S"] = { query = "@scope", query_group = "locals", desc = "Next scope" },
      },
      goto_previous_start = {
        ['[m'] = '@function.outer',
        ["[s"] = { query = "@scope", query_group = "locals", desc = "Next scope" },
      },
      goto_previous_end = {
        ['[M'] = '@function.outer',
        ["[S"] = { query = "@scope", query_group = "locals", desc = "Next scope" },
      },
    },
  },
})

$ nvim -u reproducer.lua example.go

Expected behavior

I expected some movement to happen.v

Try this

["]s"] = { query = "@local.scope", query_group = "locals", desc = "Next scope" },

That actually does something, which is much better than before!

It's not exactly what I want, for example with this C code I first move to the first letter of the if, then to the first brace { when I use ]s. I would prefer just moving to the first brace:

    int c = 3;    

    
    if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) {
/* 1                                      2 */
      perror("mmap");
      return 0;
    }

But it's already a lot better than before. Thanks.

This happens because for statement, if statement, while statement, function definition, etc are also defined to make their own scope in https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/blob/4770d9a1a77b0cc2b723c646c3dbe43a9133e5db/queries/c/locals.scm#L58-L67

The work around is to copy that file to ~/.config/nvim/queries/c/locals.scm and then comment out the blocks you don't want to jump to.

So the query names in nvim-treesitter seem to have been changed. I guess we need to update the README.
