Trouble with LuaSnip detecting local snippets path

[NullVoxPopuli]

I'm using packer, and here is my luasnip config:

  use({
    "L3MON4D3/LuaSnip",
    tag = "v2.*",
    config = function()
      local home = os.getenv('HOME');
      local snippets = home .. '/Development/NullVoxPopuli/snippets'

      require("luasnip.loaders.from_vscode").lazy_load {
        paths = { snippets },
      }
    end
  })

but! my completion provider never shows any of these. I have found that if I hard-code the path in my completion provider (blink.cmp), the snippets show up

how I do that here

require('blink.cmp').setup({
  sources = {
    providers = {
      snippets = {
        opts = {
          -- supposed to be handled by luasnip
          search_paths = { localEmberSnippets },
        },
      }
    }
  },
  snippets = {
    -- Shorthand doesn't work yet
    -- preset = 'luasnip' ,
    expand = function(snippet)
      require("luasnip").lsp_expand(snippet)
    end,
    active = function(filter)
      if filter and filter.direction then
        return require("luasnip").jumpable(filter.direction)
      end
      return require("luasnip").in_snippet()
    end,
    jump = function(direction)
      require("luasnip").jump(direction)
    end,
  },
})

Is there a debugging log or something I could use to figure out why LuaSnip can't find the snippets itself?

I wonder if the problem is the package.json I have that is in the snippets folder?

maybe language arrays aren't properly detected?

Hi :) You can increase the loglevel before the call to lazy_load (require("luasnip").log.set_loglevel("info")), open a new instance, let it load the snippets, and then check the log via require("luasnip").log.open(). There should be some information about which paths are actually searched.

You can also check whether luasnip really has/hasn't loaded these snippets via :LuaSnipListAvailable
