Problem

This is a tracking issue for snippets I encountered that fail to parse using vim.snippet.expand

Snippets

• Recursive placeholders don't seem to be supported

  f = io.open(${1:"${2:filename}"}, "${3:r}")
  
  while true do
      line = f:read()
      if line == nil then break end
  
      ${0:-- code}
  end

Neovim version (nvim -v)

nightly

Yes, this is part of the snippet roadmap: #25696

I’m confused about the title of this issue though. Wdym with parsing snippet failures @folke?

I wasn't aware of the roadmap and current limitations, so thank you for pointing that out.

I've added a work around for nested placeholders in LazyVim.
