Code Snippet

flowsheet:idaes snippet does not show up in IntelliSense

Symptom: The extension is installed and enabled, but typing flowsheet or flowsheet:idaes in a Python file does not show the "flowsheet:idaes" entry in the suggestion list, so Tab never inserts the template.

Cause: The user has disabled snippet suggestions in their VS Code settings. Two settings can cause this:

  • "editor.snippetSuggestions": "none" — snippets are excluded from the suggestion list entirely.
  • "editor.suggest.showSnippets": false — the suggest widget hides all snippet items.

Both are user-modified settings; the default VS Code configuration shows snippets out of the box, so a fresh install is not affected.

Fix: Restore the defaults in settings (Settings UI or settings.json):

{
  "editor.snippetSuggestions": "inline",
  "editor.suggest.showSnippets": true
}

Also check workspace-level .vscode/settings.json, which overrides user settings and can disable snippets for just one project.

Other things to rule out first:

  • The file's language mode must be Python (bottom-right of the status bar). Untitled files default to plaintext, where the snippet is not registered.
  • The extension must be enabled, not just installed — disabling an extension removes all of its declarative contributions, including snippets.
