Is friendly-snippets a necessary dependence for luasnip?

[prexhu]

I's wonder that is friendly-snipppets a necessary dependence for luasnip?
I use lazyvim as my machine neovim starter. I follow the LuaSnip repo guide to finish the plugin installation. I add some test tex-snips in the folder ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugin/snippets. I can not get the snips prompt while I edit a tex file(I try the command LuaSnipListActive, and it shows snippets). And I mention this warning in friend-snippets repo.

(I not install friend-snippets on machine yet, because I do not wanna use vscode_snips, which might be the reason for luasnip doesn't work on my machine.)

This situation is what I have met.

And this is what I wanna get(with snippets prompt)

(I am a beginner at computer 🤯, and I feel like I seem stupid in this scope frequently, forgive me for my ignorance.)

Hi :)

Luasnip itself does not add the prompt, we only handle manual expansion (so by typing the snippet trigger and pressing whatever key you've bound require("luasnip").expand to), for the list you need cmp_luasnip.
The pictures you show look more like a lsp-server with snippets disabled on the top, and one with snippets enabled on the bottom, but that's unrelated to expanding your own snippets.

yeah, I have already solved my problem by adding source luasnip to nvim-cmp configuration, thank you very much!

Ah, perfect 👌

I am using luasnip in lazy.nvim with friendly-snippet as a dependency. But the self-defined snippets cannot be loaded, while the built-in snippets can be loaded correctly. How to solve it? I also posted a discussion here.

Are you calling require("luasnip.loaders.from_vscode").lazy_load(paths = {"<path-to-snippets-dir>"}) (or .load(...))?

[ChenZhongPu]

This calling is involved by its setting:

{
  "rafamadriz/friendly-snippets",
  config = function()
    require("luasnip.loaders.from_vscode").lazy_load()
    require("luasnip.loaders.from_vscode").lazy_load({ paths = { vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/snippets" } })
  end,
}

[L3MON4D3]

Ah, that looks correct 👍
Could you add a require("luasnip").log.set_loglevel("info") beforeany lazy_load-calls and check the log after the load-calls (require("luasnip").log.open()), and check for references to your package.json or snippets-directory?

[ChenZhongPu]

The settings above are in fact a part of another plugin LazyVim. Then how can I add the log level in my own config?

[ChenZhongPu]

My fault. It is caused by LazyVim configs, and this bug was fixed 15 hours ago.
