Hi!

If you use treesit-explore-mode, you can see that the tree-sitter parser
returns this ast:

   (expression_statement
    (assignment_expression left: (identifier) operator: =
     right: 
      (call_expression function: (identifier)
       arguments: 
        (argument_list ( (identifier) , (identifier)
         (ERROR ")
         ,
         (string_literal "
          (ERROR (identifier))
          ")
         ,
         (string_literal "
          (ERROR (identifier))
          ")
         ,
         (ERROR ")
         (identifier) , (identifier) , (null) , (null) ))))
    ;)


Because tree-sitter fails to parse this there's only so much we can do.

I think you should file this as a bug at the parser issue tracker over
at github[0].  Maybe it's a known problem already?
