Errors when I use coc-snippets under GIT BASH

[markwu]

I encountered an error after installing coc-snippets in my Windows environment.

I'm using Vim within Git Bash, which is built with MSYS. In this setup, the C:\ drive is represented as /c/.

Consequently, C:/Users/markwu becomes /c/Users/markwu in Git Bash.

However, it seems that coc-snippets is adding C:/ in front of the path, which is causing issues. Even if I manually create the directory /c/Users/markwu/.config/coc/ultisnips, coc-snippets cannot recognize it.

As a result, I'm encountering the following error when using vim:

[coc.nvim]: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'c:\c\Users\markwu\.config\coc\ultisnips'

I found a workaround, if you don't use ultisnips, just disable it in coc-settings.json:

# open or create coc-settings.json in vim
:CocConfig

# insert the following line config into {}
{
    "snippets.ultisnips.enable": false
}

If you need to use ultisnips, create a folder called UltiSnips in your HOME directory and add the following configuration in the coc-settings.json file

# the `~` works well on Windows, Linux, Git Bash, Msys2
{
    "snippets.userSnippetsDirectory": "~/UltiSnips"
}
