org-mode src snippets seems broken

[benbellick]

Hi!

I'm trying to use the src snippet in org-mode and I'm finding the expansion doesn't work.

Using M-x yas-insert-snippet RET src RET yields

#+begin_src 
  
#+end_src

but immediately produces the error

No such language mode: nil-mode

The tab navigation to fill in the placeholder slots then doesn't work.

I am doing this with a minimal emacs config for reproducibility:

(package-initialize)
(setq org-src-tab-acts-natively t)
(require 'org)
(require 'yasnippet)
(yas-global-mode 1)

For reference, here is the snippet:

# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: src
# key: <src
# --
#+begin_src $1
  $0
#+end_src

There version of yasnippet installed is listed in list-packages as 20200604.246 and yasnippet-snippets is 1.0
Thanks a ton!

You might want to report this problem to the yasnippet-snippets package. This is the yasnippet package itself, which doesn't provide the nsippets but only the engine that runs them. If it turns out the problem comes from here, then please come back with the additional info.
