Neovim v0.10.0 with empty configuration errors on load of any *.lua file

On Fedora 40 with Neovim v0.10.0 just installed. Simple config and directory structure:

── init.lua
├── lua
│   └── user
└── plugin

init.lua simply references options.lua.

init.lua:
require("user.options")

options.lua:

vim.opt.number = true
vim.opt.relativenumber = true

vim.opt.splitbelow = true
vim.opt.splitright = true

vim.opt.wrap = false

vim.opt.expandtab = true
vim.opt.tabstop = 4

vim.opt.clipboard = "unnamedplus"

vim.opt.scrolloff = 999

vim.opt.cursorline = true
vim.opt.cursorcolumn = true

Ran with this configuration in the previous version, worked great. Performed a system update via dnf and loaded init.lua and options.lua to edit and got the following error:

Replaced the pre-existing config files with an empty init.lua and loading of just *.lua files still errors

Ran :checkhealth with the following output:

I am asking for whatever assistance can be provided. Just starting out with this application.

Thank you.

Neovim 0.10 uses treesitter for syntax highlighting of lua files by default. The lua parser should be installed by default, so I think this is an issue with the Fedora package, which you should chase up with the Fedora maintainers. Adding vim.treesitter.stop() at the end of init.lua might mitigate the issue? Can’t say for sure since I’m not on Fedora and it doesn’t reproduce on other distros.

This way doesn’t work on my machine :cry:

You should maybe ask over at neovim/neovim · Discussions · GitHub, giving more info about your setup and how you are launching neovim. This site is not maintained nor moderated by neovim devs. Also, please try using neovim -u NORC to launch with default settings instead of your config file, and report any errors in the discussion.
