Filetype does not detect dot files.

While opening dot file I get following error message.

Error detected while processing BufReadPost Autocommands for "":

I have the same issue. Some file types work, others don't.
File types that don't work are, e.g.:

• c (dist#ft#FTlpc)
• html (dist#ft#FThtml)
• sh (dist#ft#SetFileTypeSH)

I am also facing this issue (with sh files). Was anyone able to find the cause?

Uninstall the plugin. ¯\(ツ)/¯
From what I can tell, it's not needed in newer versions of vim/neovim any more.
Maybe someone can confirm?

This is indeed the right solution for this issue. Uninstall filetype.nvim and set vim.opt.filetype = "on" in your config.

I uninstalled the plugin and added filetype=on, now the behaviour is when I open the main.tf it does not show syntax highlighting. But when I do telecope search of the file and open it it shows all the nice highlighting etc. here are two different screen shots.

You do not need vim.opt.filetype = "on". It is enabled by default.

If you are using Neovim 0.8 or later you do not need to do anything to enable Lua based filetype detection. It is all enabled by default.
