Conflict with UltiSnips

[sassanh]

I'm using UltiSnips and I get this error when I open a .gitignore file:

An error occured. This is either a bug in UltiSnips or a bug in a
snippet definition. If you think this is a bug, please report it to
https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips/issues/new.

Following is the full stack trace:

Looks like Ultisnips is loading snippets from snippets directory which is intended only for Snipmate as there is separate Ultisnips directory. If you don't have other plugins which provides snippets in snippets directory that you need, you may add this to .vimrc and it will solve this problem:

let g:UltiSnipsSnipMateDirectories = ["Ultisnips"]

[sassanh]

Looking at docs I guess you mean g:UltiSnipsSnippetDirectories I set it and unfortunately it's not working for me. Did you try it yourself?

[sergei-dyshel]

You're right, it doesn't help. But this does:

let g:UltiSnipsEnableSnipMate = 0

[sassanh]

Thanks but unfortunately I have plugins that proved snippets and I need those snippets, it may help others though.

I solved this by creating .vim/ftplugin/gitignore.vim

with the contents

let g:UltiSnipsEnableSnipMate=0

and that seems to work well.
