Snippets that overwrite existing ones #2695

siannopollo · 2014-06-20T18:49:52Z

The Language Rspec package comes with it's set of snippets, and those are fine, except that they use double quoted strings (I know, I know, roll your eyes so we can get past that part :-). Anyway, I set up my own snippets in my snippets.cson file (the one accessed via Atom > Open Your Snippets) that overwrite some of the existing Rspec ones.

When I first open up Atom and try to use one of my custom snippets they don't seem to be loaded and the Language Rspec ones are used instead. If I then open up my snippets.cson file and hit cmd+s Atom picks them up and starts using my snippets.

@siannopollo I suspect that you're hitting this issue: #1867 Could you perhaps take a look and let me know if it is the same problem, or if not -- clarify what the difference is? Thanks!

@izuzak That issue seems to be separate from this one, since I can reproduce this error without removing the snippets.cson file. And I'm only seeing this problem with snippets that overwrite snippets introduced by a package. Any of my custom snippets, for which there are no other competing tab triggers within the same scope, work without a problem.

I can reproduce this error by:

Add a snippet that overwrites an existing snippet (I've been using the Rspec snippets as my example)
Quit Atom
Start Atom
Trigger the newly added snippet, and the Rspec version will win out
Open the ~/.atom/snippets.cson file and Save the file (no changes need be made)
Trigger the snippet again and it will use the customized version

Ahhh, thanks @siannopollo -- totally neglected that fact because I was focused on the other issue. Appreciate the clarification 🙇

I have this problem too. Any workaround except cmd+shift+p opsnip enter cmd+s?

Is this going to be addressed? Pretty annoying to not be able to modify snippets I use several times a day like console.log

benogle · 2015-07-17T21:57:53Z

@bclinkinbeard I am able to override them

Add this to your snippets.cson, then reload, and open a coffee file:

'.source.coffee':
  'log':
    'prefix': 'log'
    'body': 'console.omgwowlog $0'

bclinkinbeard · 2015-07-17T22:08:44Z

That works, but overriding for JS files doesn't seem to. I have tried both of the following to avoid the semi-colon to no avail.

'.source.js':
  'log':
    'prefix': 'log'
    'body': 'console.log($1)'

and

'.source.js':
  'console.log':
    'prefix': 'log'
    'body': 'console.log($1)'

benogle · 2015-07-18T00:23:27Z

Not sure. This works for me in js:

'.source.js':
  'log':
    'prefix': 'log'
    'body': 'console.OMGlog($1);$0'

Did you reload?

bclinkinbeard · 2015-07-18T00:31:17Z

That does not work for me, even if I completely quit Atom and reopen.

benogle · 2015-07-18T00:33:04Z

What else is in your snippets file? What if that is the only thing? Try atom --safe? I assume you're on the latest (1.0.2).

bclinkinbeard · 2015-07-18T00:36:41Z

OK that is weird. The only other thing in my snippets file is this, which is what is breaking it.

'.source.js':
  'require()':
    'prefix': 'req'
    'body': 'var ${1:module} = require(\'${2:$1}\')$3'

If I remove that, the log snippet works.

benogle · 2015-07-18T00:37:44Z

Did you have 2 top level .source.js keys? Like json, the second will overwrite the first.

bclinkinbeard · 2015-07-18T00:40:05Z

Ah jeez, that was in fact the problem. Sorry about that, and thanks for helping me sort it out.

devunwired · 2015-07-28T17:08:19Z

Oh, man. That really needs to be documented here. Just spent an hour trying to figure out why none of my snippets except that last one was getting picked up…

benogle · 2015-07-28T20:46:17Z

Docs added in atom/flight-manual.atom.io#102. I'm going to close this as it seems to be a poorly-communicated limitation.

jsgv · 2016-01-05T04:11:10Z

I am having similar issue. Can not override the p expand. The html5 snippet works fine.

'*':
  'paragraph':
    'prefix': 'p'
    'body': '<p>$1</p>'
  'html5':
    'prefix': 'html5'
    'body': '<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang="en">\n<head>\n\t<meta charset="utf-8">\n\t<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">\n\t<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">\n\t<meta name="description" content="">\n\t<meta name="keywords" content="">\n\t<title>${1:title}</title>\n</head>\n\n<body>\n</body>\n</html>'
