[lsp4e-dev] Question to snippet support in LSP4E

Hi all,

 

I’m using the LSP4E plugin in version 0.4.0 to increate a LSP-compatible language server into Eclipse. This language server supports code snippets and provides them in the list of completion proposals. One snippet for example looks like this:

 

“context ${1:$TM_FILENAME_BASE} {\n\t$0\n}"

 

As you can see the snippet text can contain variables (${1:$TM_FILENAME_BASE}) as they are specified in this document: https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol/blob/master/snippetSyntax.md

 

But in the document the inserted snippet looks like this:

 

“context $TM_FILENAME_BASE {}“

 

So, I’m wondering why the variable isn’t replaced with a real value, in this case the base filename. Is the variable support / replacement part of the LSP4E plugin? If it’s currently not supported, are there plans to provide this feature in a future release?

Or should the variable handling done by the consumer of the LSP4E plugin itself? If yes, what would be the right hook / extension point to get into this game to replace the variables before the snippet is added to the document?

 

 

Thanks for your support,
