please.nvim

please.nvim is a plugin which allows you interact with your Please repository from the comfort of Neovim. The aim is to remove the need to switch from your editor to the shell when performing routine actions.

Features

• Build, run, test, and debug a target
• Display history of previous commands and run any of them again
• Jump from a source file to its build target definition
• Yank a target's label
• please configured as the filetype for BUILD, BUILD.plz, and *.build_defs files
• ini configured as the filetype for .plzconfig files to enable better syntax highlighting
• Python tree-sitter parser configured to be used for please files to enable better syntax highlighting and use of all tree-sitter features in build files

nvim-treesitter configuration

please.nvim configures the Python tree-sitter parser to be used for please files. It doesn't, however, configure anything else to do with nvim-treesitter, so it's recommended to at least enable syntax highlighting like so:

require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup({
  highlight = {
    enable = true,
  },
})

For more information on configuring nvim-treesitter, see here.
