Tried to modify package.json and css.json to use this with SQL code but didn't work

Hello, I tried to modify the package.json under contributes> snippets and copied the line from CSS changing it to SQL but it didn't work. Where else can I make a change that would work on SQL as well as CSS?
Here's the line I currently have in the package.json

	"contributes": {
		"snippets": [
			{
				"language": "css",
				"path": "./snippets/css.json"
			},
			{
				"language": "sql",
				"path": "./snippets/css.json"
			}
		]
	},

Hi! I haven't looked at this project in years, but if I understood the code correctly there are some additional steps that should make it work for you.

First duplicate the css.json file in the snippets/ folder and re-name the new file to sql.json. Then you have to change the scope property to include sql files also, so it would look like this:

snippets/sql.json

{
  "SQL Inline comment": {
		"scope": "sql",
		"prefix": "\/\/",
		"body": "\/* $0 *\/",
		"description": "Insert inline SQL comment"
	}
}

And then you'd change the package.json like you did, but added the sql.json instead of the css.json, like so:

"contributes": {
		"snippets": [
			{
				"language": "css",
				"path": "./snippets/css.json"
			},
			{
				"language": "sql",
				"path": "./snippets/sql.json"
			}
		]
	},

Haven't tested this, but it should do the trick. Let me know how it works out for you.

Thank you, I just tried that and it looks like either that won't work or I have another extension that overrides the settings for your extension. I appreciate you giving it a shot.
