✅ [VsCode] Control Over Suggestion Priority in YAML Files

I am using Visual Studio Code for editing YAML files with a JSON Schema. The schema provides useful suggestions, but these are often buried under the default suggestions like !AND, !BASE64, etc. I was wondering if there's a way to prioritize the JSON Schema suggestions over the default ones in YAML files.

nothing.... added to .vscode/settings.json @Azrael

Azrael•11mo ago

You don't have to ping me. Do it per project then.

Ploxi•11mo ago

thats what i did

Azrael•11mo ago

Do it universally. .vscode/settings.json

Ploxi•11mo ago

Added it to the user settings. %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json no change

Azrael•11mo ago

Let me see the file.

Ploxi•11mo ago

Azrael•11mo ago

Put it at the absolute bottom.

Ploxi•11mo ago

no change :/

Azrael•11mo ago

Did you restart VSC?

Ploxi•11mo ago

100x

Azrael•11mo ago

Most likely an extension conflict then. Which extensions do you have? Try disabling extensions with --disable-extensions.

Ploxi•11mo ago

causes no suggestions being shown at all

Azrael•11mo ago

I know, you disabled IntelliSense.

Ploxi•11mo ago

i re enabled only redhat yaml

Azrael•11mo ago

Or wait no.

Ploxi•11mo ago

and the issue persists

Azrael•11mo ago

Try using a different schema.

whats wrong with this one

Azrael•11mo ago

Nothing. I just wanted to see if it worked with another one.

Ploxi•11mo ago

Azrael•11mo ago

Have you tried editor.quickSuggestions?

    "[json]": {
        "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top"
    },
    "[yaml]": {
        "editor.snippetSuggestions": "bottom"
    }

    "[json]": {
        "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top"
    },
    "[yaml]": {
        "editor.snippetSuggestions": "bottom"
    }

Ploxi•11mo ago

thats snippetSuggestions

Azrael•11mo ago

Yes. Try setting both.

Ploxi•11mo ago

can you try it?

Azrael•11mo ago

What?

Ploxi•11mo ago

if you get it to work with any schema

Azrael•11mo ago

It works with snippetSuggestions. For me that is.

Ploxi•11mo ago

with which schema did u try it?

Azrael•11mo ago

Default.

Ploxi•11mo ago

default schema?

Azrael•11mo ago

Yes.

Ploxi•11mo ago

it doesnt have enums or anything

Azrael•11mo ago

Let me check. Atlassian for YAML.

Ploxi•11mo ago

im going to install vscode on a sandbox...

Azrael•11mo ago

Default JSON.

Ploxi•11mo ago

ok it works WTF where does it come from

Azrael•11mo ago

Probably a bad schema. It comes from IntelliSense.

Ploxi•11mo ago

no I have the same schema copied over

Azrael•11mo ago

If it works using the default one then is must be an extension error.

Ploxi•11mo ago

to a fresh vscode insall

Ploxi•11mo ago

Ploxi•11mo ago

WHAT THE ACTUAL where does it come from nvm i dont even wanna ask thank you for bearing with me @Azrael

Azrael•11mo ago

Lol. No problem.
