Got error after running colorscheme tokyonight. Tried on mac and linux, nvim version: 0.7.2.

Error detected while processing /Users/<user>/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/opt/tokyonight.nvim/colors/tokyonight.lua:

does this require nightly, or something i missed? thanks

I am using nightly and I have the same problem

Just updated and have the same problem too. The theme still works fine apart from that though.

Removing vim.cmd[[colorscheme tokyonight]] solves the issue, but of course the theme wouldn't work then.

I was creating a new issue for this with a solution. See here: #208

Damn, my bad. I added some treesitter highlights for markdown, but that apparently only works on 0.8.
Fixed now

This issue still exists. New neovim user so I'm using the latest plugin Packer pulls. Note this is also the only plugin installed.

I saw that after I made the comment, but couldn't find the comment again to delete it. Do you by chance know which version is compatible with neovim 7.2?

[folke]

You'll have a hard time making anything work on 7.2
For every plugin, especially nvim-treesitter, you'll need to find the old version that used towork at the time.
no idea what version of tokyonight works with 7.2
