snippet ending with whitespace is not expanded

[Rinat Shigapov]

I want to add a snippet ending with whitespace:

snippet "# "
expanded snippet
endsnippet

But this snippet is not expanded. I use <c-j> as a keystroke.

python version 2.7.3 (default, Apr 14 2012, 08:58:41) [GCC]

Try using a regular expression trigger. While I agree that the documentation reads as if this should work, ultisnips always expects its trigger to be at the border of words. You can circumvent the problem using a tab trigger though.

s/tab trigger/regular expression trigger/. sorry.

I tried to add t option but this snippet wasn't shown in available snippets list and still doesn't expand.

you are right - it does not work. Ultisnips never sees the word before it. Patches are welcome.
