UltiSnips

Overwrite option between multiple files has no effect?

Asked by jaux

I've put my customized javascript snippets in a separate file, such as ~/snippets/javascript.snippets, and added the directory to ultisnips' settings.

Now ultisnips is able to locate all the snippets, but if my own snippet with the ! option is meant to overwrite the bundled one, ultisnips still shows the menu and ask me to choose which one I want to use.

Is this a bug? I've tested overwrite option for two snippets in the same file, ultisnips works as expected.

Your likely problem is that your files appear before ultisnips own files
in your runtime path (set runtimepath?). You can reverse the direction
UltiSnips traverses this variable via the g:UltiSnipsDontReverseSearchPath variable. See the docs.

Can you help with this problem?
