Snippet extension not working when installed from marketplace

[lsdanii]

My Snippet extension flutter-snippets works perfectly when installed as dev extension (no need to manually copy snippets to ~/.config/zed/snippets, however fails to function when installed from the Zed marketplace.

Steps to Reproduce Dev Extension (working case):

1. Create a snippet extension with the following structure:

flutter-snippets/
   ├── extension.toml
   ├── snippets/
   │   └── dart.json
   └── README.md

2. Extension configuration (extension.toml):

   id = "flutter-snippets"
   # ..
   repository = "https://github.com/luisdanieldlcg/flutter-snippets"
   snippets = "./snippets/dart.json"

3. Open Zed → Extensions → "Install Dev Extension" → Select the extension directory
4. Open a Dart file and try typing a snippet prefix → ✅ Snippets work correctly

Not Working Case (Marketplace Extension): When using the published extension to the Zed marketplace:

1. Open Zed → Extensions → Search for "Flutter Snippets" → Install from marketplace
2. Open a Dart file and try typing a snippet prefix → ❌ Snippets don't work

Workaround Users can manually copy the dart.json file from the extension repository to ~/.config/zed/snippets/dart.json to make the snippets work. But the fact that it works as a dev extension makes the thing it should probably work without doing that.

System: Linux 6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64 (Fedora 42) zed -v Zed 0.204.4 529fb5ff3012ddee7ede7058bad3e845f2011f29

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the report! That was a really bad issue on our side, sorry for that!

Could you please trigger a new release of your extension by creating a PR with an empty version bump and ping me? You'll only need to bump the extension version, then the released version will work again. Sorry for the inconveniences!

@MrSubidubi Hi! Not sure if this issue is something that users of the Ruby extension are experiencing right now, please let me know if I need to open a new issue for that. One user reported that the path to the snippets file is a bit weird: "/home/runner/work/extensions/extensions/extensions/ruby/snippets.json". Such path seems like an issue with packaging an extension or something like that. I found this issue before opening a new issue.

The advice here is to re-publish the extension by triggering a new release. I did that recently: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions/pull/4015 but the issue still persists, and I also can see that the path to the snippets file is still wrong.

Any idea what that could be? Thanks!

@vitallium Just looked into this - this is a different issue, I'll fix this one later today.
