file templates not working

[Victor Bastos]

I have the following configuration:

{
    "file_templates": {
        "js": [
            "Packages/User/view.sublime-snippet"
        ]
    }
}

but when I create new js files, the content is not being inserted as expected. Is this a bug only happeging on Windows? I'm using Windows 7 x86.

Hi @victorwpbastos, sorry for the delay, do you have "shell_input" set to true?

[Victor Bastos]

Yes.

[Scott Kuroda]

Ah okay, that's why. Though I should have been a little smarter about doing it. If there are multiples paths specified (via curly brace expansion) I turn off the template functionality as the prompts would not work out very well. However, I should have kept it on if there is only one specified file, or if there is only 1 entry in the template. Thank you for the information.

[Victor Bastos]

Even without shell_input the file_templates doesn't work.

[Scott Kuroda]

Are there any errors in the ST log with shell_input set to false?

[Victor Bastos]

Yes:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Ah I see, so there might be a problem with the snippet file (or how I'm processing it). Can you post that?

[Victor Bastos]

<snippet>
    <content><![CDATA[
var Marionette = require('marionette');

module.exports = Marionette.ItemView.extend({
    template: require('templates/${TM_FILEPATH/.*views\/(.+)\..+/$1/}.tpl')
});
]]></content>
    <!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
    <tabTrigger>view</tabTrigger>
    <!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
    <!-- <scope>source.python</scope> -->
</snippet>

Works if I remove the regex part.

[Scott Kuroda]

Hi Victor, apologize for leaving this hanging. Anyways, I'll look into this a bit more soon. I know I use the "insert_snippet" command to work with the templates. My best guess is it's doing something odd with the regex. Thanks for the sample snippet. It should help in reproducing the issue! Thanks for using AdvancedNewFile.
