snippet for Ruby `if else` matches when typing `else` and hitting enter for newline creates it about lsp-zero.nvim HOT 5 CLOSED

Might be worth creating an issue in friendly-snippet, so they can add a proper snippet for the else statement.

I'll mention this in the "advance usage" page, how to change the snippet collection.

By the way, you don't have to configure sumneko_lua if you use lsp.nvim_workspace(). You can modify the library argument like this.

lsp.nvim_workspace({
  library = vim.api.nvim_get_runtime_file('', true)
})

from lsp-zero.nvim.

Here is the friendly snippet for it: https://github.com/rafamadriz/friendly-snippets/blob/main/snippets/ruby.json#L84-L93

	"if else": {
		"prefix": "if else",
		"body": [
			"if ${1:test}",
			"\t$0",
			"else",
			"\t",
			"end"
		]
	},

The prefix gets translated to trig: https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip/blob/09ce9a70bd787d4ce188f2de1390f656f119347c/lua/luasnip/loaders/from_vscode.lua#L35-L52

I haven't been able to trace where trig gets used when deciding if something is expandable yet.

from lsp-zero.nvim.

The first item in the completion list is always preselected, that's why pressing Enter confirms the snippet. If you want to disable this behaviour add this in your nvim-cmp config.

  preselect = 'none',
  completion = {
    completeopt = 'menu,menuone,noinsert,noselect'
  },

from lsp-zero.nvim.

I think my issue is more that else is completing to a snippet named 'if else'. Did some looking around, and it seems that other snippet plugins don't use that convention. Compare to vim-snippets which is a snipmate-style, which uses ife for if else:

Given that, I think it's an issue with luasnip's matching, or friendly-snippets 'if else' prefix.

For anyone curious how to switch to this:

-- in `packer` block
	-- lsp, linters, formatters, etc
	use({
		"VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim",
		requires = {
			-- LSP Support
			{ "neovim/nvim-lspconfig" },
			{ "williamboman/mason.nvim" },
			{ "williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim" },

			-- Autocompletion
			{ "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp" },
			{ "hrsh7th/cmp-buffer" },
			{ "hrsh7th/cmp-path" },
			{ "saadparwaiz1/cmp_luasnip" },
			{ "hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp" },
			{ "hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lua" },

			-- Snippets
			{ "L3MON4D3/LuaSnip" },
			-- instead of { "rafamadriz/friendly-snippets" },
			{"honza/vim-snippets"},
		},
	})

-- where lsp-zero is configured:
require("luasnip.loaders.from_snipmate").lazy_load()

from lsp-zero.nvim.

I filed it over at rafamadriz/friendly-snippets#209 so can close this now.

Thank @VonHeikemen for the tip re nvim workspace!
