No snippets like coc-python

[ilkl]

There are no snippets like coc-python, except for keywords.

The vscode-python has already removed the snippets feature, microsoft/vscode-python#15006, check microsoft/pylance-release#629 microsoft/python-language-server#2011 microsoft/vscode-python#14566 and microsoft/vscode-python#15220.

The reason is LS already has provided intelligent code completions, snippets may add conflicts.

I'll leave this issue open for a while, waiting for more feedbacks.

Can ultisnips be used tother with coc-pyright?
Tried it, but no completions on the snippets unfortunately.

[fannheyward]

I'm using coc-snippets with honza/vim-snippets, works as expected.

[lodagro]

Do you get the snippet previews in the completion overview?
I have to manually trigger snippet list, the snippets do not show up in the coc* completion.
In coc settings: "pyright.completion.snippetSupport": true.

Besides the completion&preview ultisnips+vim-snippets is working fine.

[fannheyward]

@lodagro yes, snippet preview is working, the snippet item will be labeled [S].

[lodagro]

Do i need to configure anything else besides "pyright.completion.snippetSupport": true to get this?

[fannheyward]

@lodagro No, maybe you need to use coc-snippets.

[lodagro]

I removed coc-snippets and switched from coc-python to coc-pyright at the same time. After this i no longer have the snippet completion and i was thinking this was due to coc-pyright. But it is probably because i removed coc-snippets. I do want to use ultisnips to process the vim-snippets instead of coc-snippets since coc-snippets is not supporting all ultisnips features (see also https://github.com/neoclide/coc-snippets#ultisnips-features).

[fannheyward]

@lodagro I see. I don't know how to make ultisnips work with coc completions.

[lodagro]

Found a solution, i installed coc-ultisnips. The snippets are now in the completion list (without preview unfortunately) and are handled by ultisnips. Hard to get an overview for all these coc-nvim plugins.

I'll close this issue, and will not port snippets from vscode-python/coc-python. If you want to use snippets, use coc-snippets.
