+#### I get `query error: invalid node type at position`
+
+This could be due a query file outside this plugin using outdated nodes,
+or due to an outdated parser.
+
+- Make sure you have the parsers up to date with `:TSUpdate`
+- Make sure you don't have more than one `parser` runtime directory.
+ You can execute this command `:echo nvim_get_runtime_file('parser', v:true)` to find all runtime directories.
+ If you get more than one path, remove the ones that are outside this plugin (`nvim-treesitter` directory),
+ so the correct version of the parser is used.
