Running the contributed command: 'snippet.find' failed. about vscode-snippet

We could actually keep that issue open for the time being so that we don't forget.
If you need any support with the implementation, just ask here. Me or somebody else (e.g. @GianOrtiz) will help you if we can.

As a first idea, the bug is located in https://github.com/mre/vscode-snippet/blob/master/src/extension.ts#L51 where we try to access the languageId even if we don't have a document.

Hey @pankaj-kvhld,

just tested it on a vanilla visual studio code installation and it works for me.
Does it immediately print an error or only when hitting "enter" to find a snippet?
Do you run any special query?

[mre]

@pankaj-kvhld is this still an issue for you? It's tricky to debug from my side.

[pankaj-kvhld]

Apologies for late response. I realized that this only happens when no project folder is open. In an open project it works like a charm.
Is it supposed to behave like this? If yes, then I will close the issue. Thanks for making this lovely plugin.

[mre]

Ah that's a bug that we should fix.
Feel free to give it a shot if you like.
Otherwise I'll try to squeeze it in as soon as I find the time.

[pankaj-kvhld]

WOW, I have never contributed to open source, but want to. I don't think I know enough programming, but will give a shot. Thanks for the opportunity.

Adding this https://github.com/mre/vscode-snippet/blob/master/src/extension.ts#L106-L110 to the find command should solve the problem, @pankaj-kvhld, @mre.

Or we could add a user preferred language config option, so whenever someone tries to use a command without an open editor the extension uses this language as default.

[mre]

Agree. As a third option, we could show another input box for the language.
I think I would go with the config option for now and maybe add support for the input box (if no default is set) later.
