Snippet won't work

#1

This is what I’m passing in the file

[code]
<![CDATA[
/* Self Invoking Function. Will start the app as soon as the script finish loading */
(function(){
window.App = {
Models: {},
Collections: {},
Views: {},
Router: {}
};

// Global constants
window.ENTER_KEY = 13;

// Event object. Can trigger and listen for events with vent.trigger(…) and vent.on(…)
window.vent = _.extend({}, Backbone.Events);

// Helper Functions
window.template = function(id) {
return _.template( $(’#’ + id).html() );
}
})();
]]>

ba

[/code]

I’m saving it as backbone-app.sublime-snippet.
What happens is, when I digit “ba”, the snippet appear in the selection pop-over, then I press enter and it doesn’t show up (and the selection pop-over closes).

Please try to reproduce and check if it does work for you.
If not, what do you think is causing the issue?
Thank you guys for the support.

This was weird, but I figured it out. you need to escape the ‘$’ sign in your snippet, which subl uses to check for variables. Like this:

<snippet>
  <content><![CDATA[
/* Self Invoking Function. Will start the app as soon as the script finish loading */
(function(){
  window.App = {
    Models: {},
    Collections: {},
    Views: {},
    Router: {}
  };
  
  //  Global constants
  window.ENTER_KEY = 13;

  // Event object. Can trigger and listen for events with vent.trigger(...) and vent.on(...)
  window.vent = _.extend({}, Backbone.Events);
  
  // Helper Functions
  window.template = function(id) {
    return _.template( \$('#' + id).html() );
  }
})();
]]></content>
  <!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
  <tabTrigger>ba</tabTrigger>
  <!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
  <!-- <scope>source.python</scope> -->
</snippet>

Then it should work as intended.
