Summary

  • Add Tree-sitter syntax highlighting for the Godot file family.
  • Support GDScript (.gd) and Godot shaders (.gdshader, .gdshaderinc).
  • Support text scenes, resources, and project settings (.tscn, .tres, .godot).
  • Reuse the shader grammar's bundled query and add focused queries where the grammar crates do not export one.
  • Document Godot as one supported language family and add representative extension/token tests.

Test plan

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo test (228 tests passed)
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • cargo build --release
  • Visually replayed a real Godot commit with Catppuccin, covering both .gd and .tres changes

Validation details

The visual check used Flesymeb/cod-king-me@8f65e24, which changes both GDScript and a Godot text resource. The resource fixture in the unit test also covers Godot 4 StringName syntax (&"smg30").

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added syntax highlighting support for Godot, GDScript, shaders, and Godot resource files.
    • Added recognition for common Godot file extensions, including .gd, .gdshader, .tscn, .tres, and .godot.
    • Expanded supported languages from 29 to 30.
    • Added highlighting for Godot comments, keywords, functions, types, properties, constants, strings, numbers, and operators.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage validating highlighting for representative Godot file content.

Support GDScript, Godot shaders, and text scene/resource files with tree-sitter parsers and focused highlight queries. Register the related extensions and cover representative tokens with tests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Tree-sitter support for GDScript, GDShader, and Godot Resource files. The change registers language resolution, embeds highlighting queries, supports Godot extensions and aliases, updates documentation, and adds syntax-highlighting tests.

Changes

Godot highlighting support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grammar dependencies and language bindings
Cargo.toml, src/syntax/languages/*.rs, src/syntax/languages/mod.rs
Adds the three Tree-sitter grammar dependencies, public language accessors, query constants, modules, and LanguageKind variants.
Highlight queries and parser integration
src/syntax/languages/queries/*, src/syntax/languages/mod.rs, src/syntax/mod.rs
Adds GDScript and Godot Resource capture rules. Registers the parsers and queries. Adds highlighting assertions for scripts, shaders, and scenes.
Language resolution and coverage
src/syntax/languages/mod.rs, README.md
Adds names, aliases, canonical names, and extensions for the new languages. Updates supported-language documentation and resolution tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 73629

The PR adds three Godot language registrations, but the README’s supported-language count is still inaccurate, which may mislead users about documented support. The change is otherwise mergeable with a documentation follow-up.

Pull request overview

Adds Tree-sitter syntax highlighting support for the Godot file family (GDScript, Godot shaders, and Godot text resources/scenes/projects) by wiring in new Tree-sitter language crates, adding highlight queries, and extending tests/docs accordingly.

Changes:

  • Register new syntax languages (gdscript, gdshader, godot-resource) and map them to Godot-related file extensions.
  • Add highlight queries for GDScript and Godot resources (and reuse the shader crate’s bundled highlights query).
  • Extend unit tests to validate representative tokens and update README + Cargo dependencies.

  • Similarly, (lambda (parameters) @parameter) captures the whole parameter list as a single span, which can overlap punctuation and makes it hard to layer more specific captures later. Consider removing it (or narrowing to parameter identifiers once the grammar node types are confirmed).

Capture parameter identifiers instead of whole parameter lists, and make highlight assertions safe for non-ASCII source ranges.
