UltiSnips

To use, should, I have to set the file type?

Asked by Peter Shannon

Hi,

I can't seem to get UltiSnips to work without setting the file type once the file has loaded, or by simply typing e!, is this correct?

For instance gvim foo.py then :e!
or set ft= python

I also often see an error on startup, something like: ultisnips_fileTypeChanged unknown function which must be related somehow.

Best regards,

Peter.

I've been fiddling with this and it's strange. The problem has gone away but, for the life of me, I couldn't tell you why.

I wanted to experiment with an add-on manager and I've been using VAM but I also tried vundle with the same lack of success.

I don't think I've changed anything in my .vimrc and I'd even tried a minimalist rc with only the stuff in the getting-started documentation and it didn't help before. It's not a fluke either, I just moved the .vim folder away and and reran with the same success.

My bet is that the ftdetect script was not properly executed. This is likely because you did not install vundle exactly right (and the other managers will have similar problems I guess). See vundle docs: https://github.com/gmarik/vundle/blob/master/doc/vundle.txt#L51
