Robot Framework Extension

[admorgan]

I would like to create an extension for working with the Robot Framework language. I read the section of the website for adding Grammars and LSP support. Fortunately there is an official tree-sitter grammer for neovim. I thought that would be relatively straight forward to integrate, but I am not getting the results I expected. I see my attempted extension is loaded when I use zed --foreground and I see the file types are recognized base on the Grammar type in the status bar when I open a file.

If I move some of the tree-sitter files into the languages/robot directory I can see some highlighting, but it is inconsistent and seems prone to failures, but no debugging output to tell me what went wrong. It feels strange I should need to duplicate the .scm files that are already in the original repo. Is there guidance so I can point the zed module to the original files, or how to trace what is gathered from the original tree-sitter grammer?

Fortunately there is also an LSP, and DSP for Robot Framework that I would like to add to Zed after I get the tree-sitter situation sorted out.
