Subject: bug#79180: 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!
