Custom snippets added to snippets.cson do not load

[rsese]

I'm unable to reproduce with 1.38.2 on macOS 10.14 - with an empty snippets file I just added:

'.source.gfm':
  'my bold text':
    'prefix': 'b'
    'body': '**$1**$0'

And it shows up from Snippets: Available.

Actual behavior:

Nothing is displayed.

Do you mean no snippets at all are displayed or just not your custom snippet?

Can you share how you installed Atom and the full output of atom -v?

And you tested in safe mode correct?

Only custom snippets in the snippets.cson file are not displayed - snippets enabled within packages work fine.

Can you share how you installed Atom and the full output of atom -v?

Atom : 1.38.2
Electron: 2.0.18
Chrome : 61.0.3163.100
Node : 8.9.3

I installed it through the Ubuntu Software app on my computer.

And you tested in safe mode correct?

Correct, I've tested in safe mode and normal use and it doesn't show up in either case. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for reaching out!

We've determined that you are currently using an unofficial build or distribution of Atom. Often these customized versions of Atom are modified versions of the Stable branch of Atom with mismatched versions of built-in components. These updated components are taken from the Beta channel or master branch and then injected into the Stable version and a new Atom package is generated. Because of the way Atom is constructed, using these mismatched components can cause mysterious and hard-to-diagnose problems. You can find out more about why we chose to not support unofficial distributions here.

You can find instructions for installing an official version of Atom in the Flight Manual. If you are still seeing this problem on an official build please file a new issue, thanks!
