I open a *.html.eex template file, VSCode registers it as a HTML (EEx) file and yet my snippet does not show up in the intellisense dropdown.

What am I missing?

I just skimmed the documentation, and they said to use the menu to create the new snippet file with correct name and location.

I used that menu (Ctrl-Shift-P -> “Configure User Snipper” -> “HTML (EEx)”) and it created a ~/.config/VSCodium/User/snippets/HTML (EEx).json for me. You might need to adjust that path depending on the flavor of VS Code you use.
