How to use templates...

[Krist van Besien]

hi all,

I have some issues using templates. I wanted to add a template to add the standard boilerplate that goes at the top of each manifest file. However I am not having any success.

I went in to "preference - puppet - pp - templates" and added a template. Gave it a name, set the context to "PuppetManifest" and added a pattern.

Now , according to the eclipse docs when I press "ctrl - space" I should be presented with a list of templates, and this should be on this list. 

However, it isn't. I can't seem to find a way how to use this.

Both these actions do not have the result I expect:

- Typing the first few letters, or the full name I gave to the template, then ctrl+space 

- Selecting a word, and then doing ctrl+space 

In both cases I just et a list with some items ($, if, class etc...) that I can select from. Not my template however.

What am I doing wrong?

It is very difficult to figure out what the contexts in the long list
really are and when the editor is in one of those contexts. (There is a
ticket to simplify this and only use a single context). To figure out
which context is which requires reading the actual grammar.

You can use the ExpressionList - which is the context anywhere where
statements can occur. I tried that, and the template then shows up last
in the list of suggests. (yes, there is room for improvment). And the
"automatically insert" option does not work either.

I also tried with the "ImportExpression" which also works.

It is far from perfect, but hope that works for you.
