Treesitter Highlights for Jenkinsfile

Ever wanted syntax in neovim for Jenkinsfiles? Let's create an autocommand to do just that!

Treesitter

Ensure treesitter plugin is installed and you have the groovy language installed.

You can install it via :TSInstall groovy

Autocommand

Add this somewhere to your neovim config. You can see it in mine here

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufRead", "BufNewFile" }, {
    group = augroup("jenkinsfile_detect"),
    pattern = { "Jenkinsfile" },
    callback = function()
        vim.cmd("set filetype=groovy")
    end
})

Bonus terraform

.tfvars files are never detected properly either so you can add this too.

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufRead", "BufNewFile" }, {
    group = augroup("terraform_detect"),
    pattern = { "*.tfvars" },
    callback = function()
        vim.cmd("set filetype=terraform")
    end
})
