Cooperation with profiles

[KPiach]

VSCode supports the ability to create profiles. When using profiles, the snippet paths change, which means that the extension does not find user snippets and VSCode cannot see the user snippet from files created by the extension.

Thank you. We will try to fix this, but it seems to get --user-data-dir is hard currently.

I try to use --user-data-dir but can't reproduce this bug.

code --user-data-dir ~/vscode-user-data-dir-test

Could you give us more information about profiles, Operating System, code -v or code --verbose to help us reproduce this?

My VSC:

I have configured some profiles:

If I use VSC snippet command for create snippet file, it will be in:

and I can use snippets normally (for clarification, -59cf7cf2 is a subdirectory of my profile named Python). This file is not seen by the extension.
On the other hand, if I create a snippet file by extension, it will be located in ..\Code\User\snippets\ and not available in the editor.

Got it, I find this feature in Visual Studio Code November 2022.

Wait for microsoft/vscode#160466 to be implemented.
