Visual Studio Code user snippets not working

Question

I\'ve enabled the default \"log\" snippet in VS Code. I also added another snippet. Neither show up when I type their prefixes. I have set editor.tabCompletion to t

Answer 1

In my case it was not working because I had a space in the name of the snippet

{
  ...,
  "snippet name": { // it should be snippet_name. Notice the _
    ...
  }
}

So make sure that:

1. You have a {name}.code-snippets file under .vscode folder
2. The name of your snippet does not contain spaces
3. You include your language in the scope. I had to add both typescript and typescriptreact.
