Subject: 31.0.50; Customize-browse emits treesit warnings
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2025 15:18:10 -0500

Hi folks,

Browsing the customization settings can raise warnings for tree-sitter
modes that are not in use.

Recipe:

0. Build Emacs with tree-sitter support, but don't install associated
language grammars
1. Emacs -Q
2. M-x customize-browse
3. Expand the "Programming" group
4. Expand the "Languages" group

You will see a warning for any installed tree-sitter modes whose
grammars are not installed. Emacs ships with several such modes,
e.g. ruby-ts-mode, elixir-ts-mode, heex-ts-mode, php-ts-mode, and
lua-ts-mode.

The warnings are surprising, since I'm just browsing customization
settings, and not even settings specific to those modes. I haven't tried
to enable any of these modes so far.

I think most users will not preemptively install language grammars for
every installed tree-sitter mode (especially as more such modes are
added), so browsing customization settings should not raise warnings
like this.

Should these libraries really make noise like this when they are
unintentionally loaded by the user?

Cheers, and thanks!

This is a known issue, see bug#64487.  It's a side effect of the
decision to warn users when they activate tree-sitter based modes for
which they don't have a grammar library installed.  These warnings are
triggered by Custom which loads all the packages belonging to a
customization group when you browse that group.

The warning is harmless, and we don't have a good solution that would
avoid it in Customize but still emit it when the mode is loaded in
other ways.  Ideas for how to pull that trick will be welcome.  (The
fact that Custom loads the packages is a known misfeature.)

I have a patch that removes these warnings.
Should I post it here or on emacs-devel?

Please post here, and thanks.  If it turns out a more general
discussion is needed, we will start it on emacs-devel then.

This new option was discussed many times on emacs-devel,
and here it's finally implemented.  As an example the patch
demonstrates the required changes only for markdown-ts-mode, and
similarly the same changes will be applied to all other ts-modes:

Sorry, I'm probably missing something: this patch seems to completely
remove the warning about manual activation of, say, markdown-ts-mode
when the grammar library is not installed?  IOW, what happens under
this patch if the user says "M-x markdown-ts-mode RET" and the grammar
library is not installed?

It removes the warning during loading the markdown-ts-mode.el package
with e.g. `(require 'markdown-ts-mode)`.

> markdown-ts-mode RET" and the grammar library is not installed?

It proposes to install the grammar library:

  Tree-sitter grammar for `markdown' is missing; install it? (y or n)

And if the mode is loaded via some autoload cookie?

How does that work?

Yes.

'markdown-ts-mode' ensures this with (treesit-ensure-installed 'markdown).

OK, so can you describe the workflow of someone who wants to use
markdown-ts-mode for Markdown files?  Currently, they need to load
markdown-ts-mode; what would be the replacement of that if this patch
is installed?

Here is the workflow: when someone wants to use markdown-ts-mode for
Markdown files, then the user customizes the option 'treesit-enabled-modes'
either to t (enables all ts-modes) or to the list '(markdown-ts-mode)'
(by clicking on the checkbox "markdown-ts-mode").  Then no need to
load markdown-ts-mode manually: visiting a Markdown file will autoload
markdown-ts-mode.

OK, and what would they need to do if they then change their minds and
want to stop using markdown-ts-mode, switching back to markdown-mode?

Also, what will happen in customize-group, when they select the
"Languages" group?  And what if they then select, say, Lua Ts group
when the relevant grammar is not installed?
