Unable to get example template 'skeleton' to work

[ModernTrollfare]

Issue: Snippet generated by 'skeleton' is not loaded by xptemplate after a :XPTreload.

Steps taken:

1. Write a new file using template skeleton.

   " Save this file as ~/.vim/ftplugin/c/hello.xpt.vim(or
   " ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/c/hello.xpt.vim).
   " Then you can use it in C language file:
   "     vim xpt.c
   " And type:
   "     helloxpt<C-\>
   "
   XPT helloxpt " tips about what this snippet do
   Say hello to `xpt^.
   `xpt^ says hello.

2. Following the above instructions, Save the file to ~/.vim/ftplugin/c/hello.xpt.vim.
3. Run :XPTreload.
4. in a .h file, type helloxpt then press <C->.

Expected results: Observe template 'helloxpt' being generated.

Outcome: Observe helloxpt\^ in the .h file.

Alternative steps taken: Place the file in an alternative path present in runtimepath; e.g.: /path/in/runtimepath/ftplugin/c/hello.xpt.vim

Outcome: Again, no template is being generated.

At the time of failure, I have used Date<C-\> as a sanity test and the date is shown as expected.

Can advise if there's anything wrong with the above steps, or is there a bug somewhere?

Can you see your script is loaded correctly with :scriptnames?

There should be line like:

...
233: ~/.vim/ftplugin/c/hello.xpt.vim
...
