Error saying Invalid highlight name: diffDeleted

[Kindlewing]

I'm following the cookbook for a bootstrap statusline and in the colors variable, diffDeleted is invalid.

make sure that you load heirline AFTER the colorscheme. diffDeleted is not a standard highlight name, but is commonly used by plugins providing git diffs and most colorschemes will define it. If your colorscheme does not define it, you can fall back to another hlgroup

I faced the same problem, A workaround is

vim.cmd.colorscheme "kanagawa"

-- whole hairline config

vim.cmd.colorscheme "catppuccin"  -- your colorscheme, I wanted catppuccin

kanagawa fills missing colors.

Excuse me, that does not work. I don't remember how I came up with that though. I was using kanagawa all along, xD.

Just check out your theme, see what is the name for that, and then use that. For instance, catppuccin's highlight group names.

And also make sure colorscheme is loaded first.

You probably have to define the aliases you want to use yourself as described in the cookbook: https://github.com/rebelot/heirline.nvim/blob/master/cookbook.md#colors-colors-more-colors

I also thought the other aliases would be automatically assigned but that does not seem to be the case according to my experiments/understanding of the code
