Neovim 中的语法高亮问题

Question

I have been trying to figure out why my syntax highlighting won't work in Neovim for two days now.

I have included "syntax on" in my sysinit.vim as well as "filetype plugin indent on" and I get no errors when I run nvim.

When I do an "echo $VIMRUNTIME" I get the proper directory (I think. I used homebrew to install. The path is usr/local/Cellar/neovim/0.1.7/share/nvim/runtime). I have verified that the syntax folder is indeed present in that folder.

However, when I am in neovim I get no highlighting other than a red block for trailing white space. If I run ":syntax" it identifies the proper syntax (testing with python). Another strange occurrence I've identified is when I run ":syntax on" from within the editor, the colors get darker. If I turn it back off, nothing changes. As syntax is enabled in the init.vim file, I have no idea why that would change the appearance of the editor.

I'm banging my head against the wall on this. Please help. My init.vim is below. It's a work in progress!

Answer 1

The solution to this is was ridiculously dumb. Apparently when the contrast slider is turned all the way up in iTerm2.. It causes issues with themes. All is working now. Hopefully this post will save someone a lot of headache in the future.

Answer 2

for me problem was from nvim-tree
