#12735 (comment)

@weinand I'm writing a extension to provide debug configurations.

as mentioned at docs "initialConfigurations": "extension.eggjs.provideInitialConfigurations"

my question is how to link a command to configurationSnippets?

had try "configurationSnippets": ["${command.extension.eggjs.provideConfigurationSnippets}"] and "configurationSnippets": ["extension.eggjs.provideConfigurationSnippets"] without luck.

the command is not trigger.

We are moving away from this model. So currently it is not possible to add snippets using a command, and we will not add that.
The new way of doing things is using a ConfigurationProvider. More about this can be found here

Your feature request could be solved by extending the ConfigurationProvider to also provide snippets, thus renaming the issue

[weinand]

Since the new introduce DebugConfigurationProvider addresses this need, we can close this request.

[weinand]

Reopening since the DebugConfigurationProvider does not (yet) support to provide snippets.
So you will have to continue to contribute snippets statically in the package.json.

@weinand additional 2 request:

1. DebugConfigurationProvider should support compounds
2. allow hidden or sort order at debug configuration drop list.

We only want to show user: Egg Debug and Egg Debug with brk(which is compounds)

so feature request is either provide a hidden property for "Egg Master", "Egg Agent", "Egg Worker", or compounds should show at top.

@atian25 please don't add new feature requests onto existing but unrelated issues. They will be ignored. Create new issues.

I believe this can be done using the CompletionItemProvider API.
Simply register a CompletionItemProvider only for launch.json file using this API. And your CompletionItemProvider can return CompletionItems which inserts a SnippetString as an insertText.

We have a great developer community over on slack where extension authors help each other. This is a great place for you to ask questions and find support.

Happy Coding!
