Nested if/repeat blocks is VSCode

[NevilleDNZ]

Love the extension. Thank you. I do have a small puzzle that someone might be able to hint and resolve.

I trying to use the if else (no begin end) snippet and am getting mixed results.

I tab past True to get to the end of then code here␣...

if True then
    then code here␣
else
    else code here

Where ␣ indicates where the cursor is.

Then I type in repeat... ... and wait.... no repeat ... until() snippet is offered.

if True then
    repeat␣
else
    else code here

I was expecting an offer of the repeat snippet. eg.

if True then
    repeat
        ␣
    until (True);
else
    else code here

But I just got repeat but without the until (True)

The issue seems too be that if a primary snippet field has "defaulttext" (eg ${1:defaulttext}) then the secondary snippets are not offered.

I suspect that this may not be a problem on atom, just VSCode. (Maybe someone can confirm?)

FYI: I am mostly up-to-date.

Hi @NevilleDNZ ,

This is a VS Code behavior, not the extension/snippets. I just tested some native TypeScript snippets, and it does the same thing. And it does not matter if the snippet has defaulttext or not, the secondary snippet is not automatically shown.

Otherwise, you can change this behavior, if you change a VS Code setting 😬

1. Open Preferences / Configure User Settings
2. Search for snippet
3. You will find a setting named Editor > Suggest: Snippets Prevent Quick Suggestions
4. Uncheck the checkbox

Now the secondary snippets will be shown

Hope this helps
