ref snippet autocomplete adds extra placeholder text that must be deleted before model selection works

[shreyastelkar]

Environment

• Platform: GitHub Codespaces
• dbt Power User version: [latest]

Problem

Autocompleting ref inserts extra curly braces and displays {{ {{ ref('my_model') }} }} instead of {{ ref('my_model') }}.

Expected behavior

Typing out {{ ref( or {{ ref(' triggers the modal to select an available model as expected, and inserts the ref correctly.

Actual behavior

Using the ref snippet autocomplete adds an extra pair of curly braces around the entire expression:

• Expected: {{ ref('my_model') }}
• Actual: {{ {{ ref('my_model') }} }}

Workaround

Type out {{ ref(' manually instead of using the ref snippet autocomplete.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a dbt model file in GitHub Codespaces
2. Type ref and select the snippet from autocomplete
3. Select a model from the autocomplete list
4. Observe extra curly braces wrapping the entire expression
