Error from official languages.toml

[lcpichette]

Summary

Error:

Bad language config: invalid type: map, expected a string for key language.file-types

Configuring Helix for the first time; new user here.

Reproduction Steps

Potential point of error?

• Where: 100th instance of file-types, line 1516
• Why: Map instead of string

[[language]]
name = "sshclientconfig"
scope = "source.sshclientconfig"
file-types = [{ suffix = ".ssh/config" }, { suffix = "/etc/ssh/ssh_config" }]
roots = []

[[grammar]]
name = "sshclientconfig"
source = { git = "https://github.com/metio/tree-sitter-ssh-client-config", rev = "769d7a01a2e5493b4bb5a51096c6bf4be130b024" }

I tried this

1. Installed LSPs:
   1. typescript-language-server
   2. vscode-css-language-server
   3. sourcekit-lsp
   4. vscode-json-language-server
   5. clangd
   6. vscode-html-language-server
2. hx ~/.config/helix/languages.toml
3. Paste Raw data from: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml into languages.toml file.
4. hx <non-important-file>
5. See error. I'm able to press enter to continue to the editing process, but it doesn't recognize the language service in the buffer.

I expected this to happen

1. I use helix as expected; I'm able to edit the file with helix commands and the support of the newly added LSPs for function definitions and autocomplete (if supported for that language).

Instead, this happened

1. A warning pops up alerting me that Bad language config: invalid type: map, expected a string for key 'language.file-types'. I'm able to press enter to continue to the editing process.

Helix Version

helix 22.08.1 (66276ce)

You're running the 22.08.1 release but using a languages.toml from master. In order to use that new syntax you will need to build from at least 17daf6a (#4414).

However you don't need to copy the languages.toml from this repository to ~/.config/helix/languages.toml: languages.toml from the repository root is built into the binary when compiling. You should delete the ~/.config/helix/languages.toml file.

Oh, I see! That seems to have resolved the error. It seems that the language buffer is a separate issue I'll have to look into. Thank you for your time!
