Empty lines in snipMate snippets are expanded

[raine]

If you use snippets such as these with snippy, you'll notice that the empty lines after the snippets (before the next snippet) are expanded as well.

Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug? A simple fix is to manually remove every blank line but the README claims snipMate compatibility so I was wondering about this.

^ Notice the extra empty line added when the snippet expands.

Thanks!

There appears to be no mention in its docs or codebase about trailing empty lines, so I had to do some testing to determine this, but it seems like SnipMate does remove a single at the end, while Ultisnips doesn't. So, yes, to be compatible with snipMate, and also support vim-snippets properly, I think Snippy should remove the last line if empty.

Looks like almost all snippet files from vim-snippets avoid trailing empty lines, go.snippets being an exception. The blank lines seem to have been introduced by this commit.

Nice find. I didn't realize go.snippets was an exception in that regard. I think the empty line allows for slightly more readable snippet files. And it sort of makes sense that any line after snippet .. that doesn't have a tab as first character is not part of the snippet.
