VSCode, User Snippets doesn't show $ when used

Question

I have this user sniped to quickly inserts a debug command but when done, it doesn't show the "$" sign.

"Debug MySQL": {
   "prefix": "debug",
      "body": [
          "lib::$db->debug = true;"
        ],
    "description": "debug MySQL"
},

When debug used I get this:

lib::db->debug = true;

Any ideas what might be the problem?

Answer 1

You need to put other dollar to escape the first one: lib::$$db->debug = true;
