Snippets not showing in completion menu

[owod24]

Hi there, i recently switched to blink and i have not been able to use any of the snippets i had over at nvim_cmp. I had a couple of custom ones but i don't see any snippets at all, not from luasnip, friendly-snippets or others. I may have configured this wrong but i am unsure of what to do regarding this. Below is my config for blink:

`return {

"saghen/blink.cmp",
dependencies = {
	"onsails/lspkind.nvim",
	"moyiz/blink-emoji.nvim",
	"ribru17/blink-cmp-spell",

	"rafamadriz/friendly-snippets",
	"Kaiser-Yang/blink-cmp-dictionary",

	{ "L3MON4D3/LuaSnip", version = "v2.*" },
	-- TODO: Lusanip snippets are not showing up
},

---@type blink.cmp.Config
opts = {

	enabled = function()
		-- you list file types where you don't want blink blink to work here
		local disabled_filetypes = { "TelescopePrompt" }
		return not vim.tbl_contains(disabled_filetypes, vim.bo.filetype) and vim.b.completion ~= false
	end,

	snippets = {
		preset = "luasnip",
	},

	-- 	preset = "luasnip",

This is likely an issue with your config.

Remove the following lines in your blink config sources.providers.snippet since it does not make sense:

preset = 'luasnip',
-- ...
vim.schedule(function()
    require("blink.cmp").reload("snippets")
end),

Then load your snippets folder from your luasnip config. For instance, to load both your lua and vscode snippets located in ~/.config/nvim/snippets/{lua,vscode}:

    for _, loader in ipairs({ 'lua', 'vscode' }) do
        require(('luasnip.loaders.from_%s'):format(loader)).lazy_load({
            paths = ('%s/snippets/%s'):format(vim.fn.stdpath('config'), loader),
        })
    end

See https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip/blob/master/DOC.md#loaders

Thanks for the suggestions. I have removed the reload function. It was one of the things i tried to get it to work. As for the loader, where should this be in my config? Inside the opts table or the sources.providers.snippets?

[soifou]

It needs to be set in your luasnip config. By taking your example, you'll end up with this:

return {
    "saghen/blink.cmp",
    dependencies = {
	    -- omitted other dependencies for clarity
	    { 
            "L3MON4D3/LuaSnip", 
            version = "v2.*",
            build = 'make install_jsregexp',
            config = function()
                for _, loader in ipairs({ 'lua', 'vscode' }) do
                    require(('luasnip.loaders.from_%s'):format(loader)).lazy_load({
                        paths = ('%s/snippets/%s'):format(vim.fn.stdpath('config'), loader),
                    })
                end
           end 
        },
    },
   opts = {
      -- ...
   }
}

The reload of your snippets when edited should be handle automatically by luasnip, see fs_event_providers in the mentioned documentation if you need to tweak it.

Thank you, this has resolved my issue. Need to brush up my understanding of lua 😅

Glad to hear you succeeded in making it work! Happy tweaking!
