Ultisnips: Snippet files created in wrong folder using UltiSnipsEdit

[Alex-Canales]

Let say I am working in the folder /home/me/myProject, my vim configuration folder is /home/me/.vim. I am currently working on a JavaScript file.

If I have an already /home/me/.vim/UltiSnips/javascript.snippets file and I do a :UltiSnipsEdit: I open and edit /home/me/.vim/UltiSnips/javascript.snippets.

If I do not have a /home/me/.vim/UltiSnips/javascript.snippets file and I do a :UltiSnipsEdit: I open and edit /home/me/myProject/UltiSnips/javascript.snippets.

In a nutshell: UltiSnipsEdit creates a snippet in the local folder, instead of in the configuration folder, if no snippet file was already present in the configuration folder. Also, the snippets in this local file are not recognized.

Tested on vim 704

I am also experiencing the same. But followed the discussion in #711 & got a work around. Try adding this to your vimrc:

let g:UltiSnipsSnippetDirectories = ['~/.vim/UltiSnips', 'UltiSnips']

Indeed, the workaround is working all right.

Closing as dupe, consolidating this issue in #711.
