Templates doesn't insert filenames

[redactedscribe]

Templates is unintuitive, probably because it's broken.

Selecting one from the list doesn't update the commit message to include the currently staged files: Clicking a "Chore" template with chore: %| ${files:2} as its template value will insert "chore: " (no filenames).

For me it works fine. Did you stage? It uses as files the filenames of the staged section

[redactedscribe]

Create 2 templates:

tmpl1: chore: %| ${files:1}
tmpl2: chore: %| ${files:2}

Then stage 3 files. Commit message is chore: .gitignore, and 2 more files.

Select tmpl2. Commit message is now chore: .

Selecting tmpl1, no change, then tmpl2 again, no change; still chore: .

The message needs to be manually cleared and a file un/staged to get the commit message to reappear with the filenames listed. But what's inserted is tmpl1's template even though tmpl2 was selected last.

It seems to be broken and unpredictable.

What do you mean

But what's inserted is tmpl1's template even though tmpl2 was selected last.

Did you move tmpl1 as first in the list?

[redactedscribe]

No. I guess that's not how it works then (my expectation was that it would use the last one which I picked). At that point I would have to repick tmpl2, but as noted, currently only chore: is inserted.

Ah now I understand, you choose it manually not automatically. I was able to reproduce

[Murmele]

No files are passed when doing it manually. I have to check

This will fix your issue:

Thank you.
