Why dev version seems to be outdated?

[boltlessengineer]

I'm trying to install latest version of tree-sitter-http via rocks.nvim. The scm-1 version has been updated few hours ago.
But when I install it with :Rocks install tree-sitter-http dev, I still get outdated version.
I thought update from nvim-treesitter and nurr are all steps required to install latest version of treesitter parser.

Are there more steps I have to wait or am I doing something wrong?

Solved: seems like I have to wait until rocks-binaries-dev to be updated as well.

We have periodic workflows in the NURR which

• Update the parsers' lockfile
• Build the parsers
• If they succeed to build, uploads them to luarocks.org

However, to build the parsers locally, you need a C compiler (available on most linux systems, but not always available on other platforms), tree-sitter-cli, and sometimes Node JS (if the parser needs to be generated).
This can be quite a lot, which is why we host pre-built parsers on our binary servers.

That repo has a separate workflow, which

• Installs the parser from luarocks.org
• Packs it (as a .rock archive, which is basically a zip archive)
• Updates a manifest that rocks.nvim tells luarocks to prioritise.

This workflow runs every 12 hours.

Since rocks.nvim prioritises the pre-built parsers, they can be a bit outdated (by up to 12 hours).
We have an open PR that will allow you to disable the binary servers.
