Keep getting sporadic errors (may be related to packer.nvim?) about cmp_luasnip

[L3MON4D3]

I don't know much about packer's internals, does it change anything about the loaded plugins when PackerCompile is called?
Your error "shouldn't" occur during normal usage I think.

Try find for get_documentation function and add:

local function get_documentation(snip, data)
	if snip == nil then
		return ""
	end
	local header = (snip.name or "") .. " _ `[" .. data.filetype .. "]`\n"
        ...

@melkster Could you make sure you're adding snippets via ls.add_snippets(ft, snippets)?
I didn't consider that not everybody is using that already (it is deprecated, but not yet unsupported).

What is deprecated? get_documentation?

@wuilliam321 adding snippets by directly accessing the snippet table

This might actually be it! I wasn't using ls.add_snippets() and after changing to it I haven't experienced the issue!

Great! was the same for me!
