Traceback when hitting "TAB" twice after entering "def"

[Michel Albert]

Right after installing UltiSnips:

In a python file, I typed "def" then pressen TAB twice. After the first TAB, the following code has shown up:

    def function(arg1):
        """@todo: Docstring for function.

        :arg1: @todo
        :returns: @todo

        """
        pass

The cursor was positioned on "function". Pressing TAB again, the following traceback has shown up:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/exhuma/.vim/bundle/ultisnips/plugin/UltiSnips/__init__.py", line 23, in wrapper
        return f(self, *args, **kwds)
      File "/home/exhuma/.vim/bundle/ultisnips/plugin/UltiSnips/__init__.py", line 546, in expand
        self._handle_failure(self.expand_trigger)
      File "/home/exhuma/.vim/bundle/ultisnips/plugin/UltiSnips/__init__.py", line 826, in _handle_failure
        _vim.command("return SuperTab(%s)" % _vim.escape(mode))
      File "/home/exhuma/.vim/bundle/ultisnips/plugin/UltiSnips/_vim.py", line 104, in command
        return as_unicode(vim.command(as_vimencoding(s)))
    vim.error

Seems to be related to SuperTab?

And something else which is strange: I though ultisnips does not come with snippets by default? So why did the first "def<TAB>" work? I had "snipmate" installed before, but uninstalled (and re-started vim) prior to running into this issue.

Output of `sys.version`: 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:26:19) [GCC 4.6.3]

Which version of ultisnips is this? Where did you clone from? The standard ultisnips comes with snippets.

Try updating your supertab. It might be that it is too old.

I just upgraded both to the latest "master" branch. Now the traceback is gone, but the second "TAB" does not do anything.

Default jumping forward is <c-j>, not tab: https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips/blob/master/doc/UltiSnips.txt#L224

I suggest getting used to it, using tab makes a mess because ultisnip never knows when you want to jump or when you want to complete.

[Michel Albert (esz-michel)]

Indeed. Upgrading to the latest revision of SuperTab solved it. And I should have read the docs... I feel bad now :(
I'm sorry. And thanks for the quick reply!

I confirm that this ticket can be closed.

okay. Thanks for getting back.
