Please remove "rule" snippet about vscode-yara HOT 4 CLOSED

Glad you like it, and thanks for the feedback!

I'm hesitant to completely remove that snippet in case others use it and find it useful. However, I'll do some digging and see if there's a way to not override user-defined snippets when I publish an update.

Also, if you have any custom changes that are shareable with the wider community, feel free to make a PR or suggest a change. I'm more than happy to improve that area of the extension; it's been a while since I've touched them.

Unfortunately I think there isn't a way to override or disable snippets defined in extensions: microsoft/vscode#10565

I currently use a snippet like this, unsure if this is preferable the current shorter default snippet.

{
"Rule": {
"prefix": "rule",
"body": [
"rule ${1} : ",
"{",
" meta:",
" author = "$MYNAME""
" date = """
" description = """
" hash = """
""
" strings:"
" $ = """
""
" condition:",
" ",
"}"
],
"description": "Generate a basic skeleton"
}
}

Obviously its up to you and i will certainly continue to use your extension regardless of whether you make any changes to the snippets.

Do you have a User Snippet and a YARA snippet available in your menu or are you overriding the built-in snippets?

Thanks for the issue link; i didn't realize this was such a wide-ranging issue across extensions. The best solution in the short term might be to add a YARA Snippets extension to support both people who want them provided and those who want to create personal ones

Just pushed out a new release that re-works the snippets and adds configuration settings to enable/disable the section and rule snippets. I hope this is a good compromise and still fits your needs with the extension.

Closing this issue, but please feel free to reopen or create a new issue if you have any additional feedback. Thank you!
