SAS Studio snippets lost when updated to latest Viya docker instance

[NewsGuy]

After 20+ years using SAS on the Windows platform, I moved over a year ago to SAS Viya on the Mac OS with SAS Studio. SAS provided some excellent help to get it all up and running. 

I just moved to a new docker image with the latest long-term-stable version. 

The install went fine and everything is working. 

But I realize I lost all the Snippets that I had saved in SAS Studio.  I had saved a ton of code that I use a lot. I found the snippets very helpful.  I don't see anywhere on my hard drive that the snippets have been saved. 

Is there any hope of retrieving them? 

Thanks.

This was solved in the SAS Studio group.

 I'm assuming that you are using SAS Analytics Pro for SAS Viya, which is run via a Docker image and provides SAS Studio 5.2.

On my Windows instance, these are stored in the account-specific folder within the Viya deployment folder. In my case, I have an account called sasdemo and the snippets would be here:

C:\SAS\deploy-apro\sasdemo\.sasstudio5\mySnippets

The .sasstudio5 folder might be marked as hidden in your Mac file system, as that is a convention in Unix-based file systems. You might need to toggle the visibility in MacOS Finder, or use ls -a when navigating in Terminal.
