ultisnips not working with the latest neovim nightly

[quangnguyen30192]

neovim nightly is not supposed to be stable. yeah surely it will be hiccup sometimes

[quangnguyen30192]

@captainko this is how the guys here hrsh7th/nvim-cmp#241 (comment) fix it

  use {'honza/vim-snippets', rtp = '.'}

[quangnguyen30192]

completion = { completeopt = "menu,menuone,noinsert" }, -- removing this has helped the supertab to work

That's weird, this is the setting recommended by cmp author

Can you try with

	["<S-Tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
		if vim.fn["UltiSnips#CanJumpBackwards"]() == 1 then
			return vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<ESC>:call UltiSnips#JumpBackwards()<CR>"))
		elseif vim.fn.pumvisible() == 1 then
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<C-p>"), "n")
		else
			fallback()
		end
	end

[quangnguyen30192]

you had better ask ultisnips author. IMO Ultisnips is more way friendly, easy to learn, versatile and has rich support from overall languages. Probably comparing to the other snippet engines, it slows, but how much is it?

I have been using ultisnips for 3 years and had no problem with performance, If your laptop is not produced in 1970 then I would say just use it

[quangnguyen30192]

Sure, since the root cause was fixed, we don't need that in the readme

[quangnguyen30192]

Thanks, I will check

[rebelot]

please see hrsh7th/nvim-cmp#241 (comment)

[captainko]

I think we should report this issue at UltiSnippets repo instead. As I notice earlier that my local snippets are still get sourced but not the ones provided by the vim-snippets.

[quangnguyen30192]

Just installed neovim nightly and there are many plugins installed on my machine stop working

[quangnguyen30192]

Let's see if I could do something from cmp-nvim-ultisnips's side

[captainko]

Oh thanks, It works like charms.

[rebelot]

I think this is it.. neovim/neovim#15632

[Trid-collab]

@rebelot thank you use {'honza/vim-snippets', rtp = '.'} helped resolved the issue
However @quangnguyen30192 I also noticed that the I am not able to circulate the snippet placeholders using tabs like it was working before. Its not even working in the neovim stable release. When I am typing in the snippet placeholder the autocompletes are popping up while I am typing. On completion I am not able to use the tabs to move to the next placeholder.

You’re welcome, maybe opt=true should also work and might be more elegant. My two cents on “supertab”: just use <c-j>/<c-k> and stop bothering rewriting your config every other day. After a few hours you think it’s working, then you notice macros don’t work anymore, you manage to fix it, then you update neovim or cmp and you have to start again. The amount of issues and config bloatware related to tab mappings is fenomenal.

[Trid-collab]

@rebelot I have tried putting opt=true but doesn't seem to be working - I have tried use {'honza/vim-snippets', rtp = '.', opt=true}
Am I correct in doing it . Pardon me if this is a trivial clarification. I am new to this.

[quangnguyen30192]

@Trid-collab probably you need to set

vim.g.UltiSnipsRemoveSelectModeMappings = 0

or

let g:UltiSnipsRemoveSelectModeMappings = 0

[Trid-collab]

The done the same but still the place holder issue remains. I was also reverted back to the stable version

This is my plugin setup
use({
"SirVer/ultisnips",
requires = { "honza/vim-snippets" },
config = function()
vim.g.UltiSnipsRemoveSelectModeMappings = 0
end,
})

and my cmp mapping setup

mapping = {
	["<C-p>"] = cmp.mapping.select_prev_item(),
	["<C-k>"] = cmp.mapping.select_prev_item(),
	["<C-n>"] = cmp.mapping.select_next_item(),
	["<C-j>"] = cmp.mapping.select_next_item(),
	["<C-d>"] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(-4),
	["<C-f>"] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(4),
	["<C-e>"] = cmp.mapping.close(),
	["<CR>"] = cmp.mapping.confirm({
		behavior = cmp.ConfirmBehavior.Insert,
		select = true,
	}),
	["<C-Space>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
		if vim.fn.pumvisible() == 1 then
			if vim.fn["UltiSnips#CanExpandSnippet"]() == 1 then
				return vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<C-R>=UltiSnips#ExpandSnippet()<CR>"))
			end
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<C-n>"), "n")
		elseif check_back_space() then
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<cr>"), "n")
		else
			fallback()
		end
	end, {
		"i",
		"s",
	}),
	["<Tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
		if vim.fn.complete_info()["selected"] == -1 and vim.fn["UltiSnips#CanExpandSnippet"]() == 1 then
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<C-R>=UltiSnips#ExpandSnippet()<CR>"))
		elseif vim.fn["UltiSnips#CanJumpForwards"]() == 1 then
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<ESC>:call UltiSnips#JumpForwards()<CR>"))
		elseif vim.fn.pumvisible() == 1 then
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<C-n>"), "n")
		elseif check_back_space() then
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<tab>"), "n")
		else
			fallback()
		end
	end, {
		"i",
		"s",
	}),
	["<S-Tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
		if vim.fn["UltiSnips#CanJumpBackwards"]() == 1 then
			return vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<C-R>=UltiSnips#JumpBackwards()<CR>"))
		elseif vim.fn.pumvisible() == 1 then
			vim.fn.feedkeys(t("<C-p>"), "n")
		else
			fallback()
		end
	end, {
		"i",
		"s",
	}),
},

@quangnguyen30192 I have reverted back to neovim stable. The Ultisnips are showing in the autocomplete now and am able to select.
But the supertab option is not working - in order to circulate between the placeholders. I have tried following the setup in your readme. Whenever I am trying to type something in the placement autocomplete is poping up which I believe hindering the circulation through the placeholders

[quangnguyen30192]

Hey thanks, checking it now

[Trid-collab]

found out the offending piece of code in cmp setup which was not allowing the tab to work
completion = { completeopt = "menu,menuone,noinsert" }, -- removing this has helped the supertab to work

But even then S-Tab is working weirdly Could you check- Basically when I am circulating back using the S-Tab its going to immediate earlier placeholder but then if we don't re type the placeholder and simply want to go the next above it deletes the placeholder. So say suppose if I am using ife and I come to the last placeholder and want to change the topmost one without changing the second one in between doing S-Tab deletes the one in between which has not been changed

This doesn't happen when using @rebelot's suggestions C-K to go backwards

[Trid-collab]

Perfecto. It works. like C-K
Just one question whenever I doing a forward jump or backward jump on the placeholder its printing :call UltiSnips#JumpForward or :call UltiSnips#JumpBackward

Its no harm but just curious

Thank you for the quick revert

completion = { completeopt = "menu,menuone,noinsert" }, -- removing this has helped the supertab to work
That's weird, this is the setting recommended by cmp author

You are right I put it after seeing it on the cmp site

Also a question to you and @rebelot does using Utlisnip slow down language server especially pyright compared to Luasbip or others.
I have started liking UltiSnip more because its more rich in snippet options

[Trid-collab]

Thank you

[quangnguyen30192]

Just one question whenever I doing a forward jump or backward jump on the placeholder its printing :call UltiSnips#JumpForward or :call UltiSnips#JumpBackward

not sure if cmp mapping support silent mode

[smjonas]

@captainko this is how the guys here hrsh7th/nvim-cmp#241 (comment) fix it

  use {'honza/vim-snippets', rtp = '.'}

@quangnguyen30192 Is this workaround still needed since neovim/neovim#15632 has been merged a while ago? I haven't noticed any problems with vim-snippets while not setting the rtp manually. Can we remove that section from the readme?
