Vim-snipMate doesn't expand insted removes the trigger

Question

I was using snimpmate with vim-snippets plugin, and all fine. Until i tried to remove the vim-snippets and use my custom and only snippets 'ruby.snippets' on '.vim/snippets'. i think the snippets are being loaded just when fire TAB or whatever trigger it just removes the text... and leave blank space.

def hello

 if |TAB|

end

results in

def hello

end

is the same problem here

You provide very little information to help you with troubleshooting. Here's one function (from my SnippetCompleteSnipMate plugin) that lets you access the currently defined snippets:

To be able to access its snippets, snipMate must be patched. Open ~/.vim/plugin/snipMate.vim and insert the following function at the bottom:

fun! GetSnipsInCurrentScope()
    let snips = {}
    for scope in [bufnr('%')] + split(&ft, '\.') + ['_']
        call extend(snips, get(s:snippets, scope, {}), 'keep')
        call extend(snips, get(s:multi_snips, scope, {}), 'keep')
    endfor
    return snips
endf

You can now check which snippets are defined for the current buffer via

:echo keys(GetSnipsInCurrentScope())
