thx for reporting; hmm but I'm not able to replicate this

I'm able to install plugins in Insomnium 0.2.1-b on Mac. Can you give more info on the plugin you are trying to install ?

are you copy-and-pasting the right plugin-in ID? (or using the Install button on the plugin page?)

[sherryli-1214]

Thank you. It is Save Variables. Just confused the plugin is still from insomnia,right? Do you keep any plugin in your repo? Thanks.

[archywillhe]

Yeah; Insomnia plug-in should still work since it does the same scanning of the repo after cloning it into the data directory.

I'm able to install Save-Variables and get it working in 0.2.1-b.

I think the error you see is likely caused by a typo, etc, in the url (so it can't find the package.json). Or could also be a Windows-specific problem? I'll keep an eye on this

(Meanwhile yeah I should let it display a better error message)

[sherryli-1214]

Thank you Previously i can just search" save variables "in isomnia and plugin, but in insomnium, the name must be very exact .

It is quite weird , even I still can search "save variables" in insomnium(not exactly match), but the error will occured if i click install.

Let's close this issue and will contact you if any other issues. Thank you so much.

[archywillhe]

aw I see; thx for the report (look like search-to-select is not functioning - I will need to investigate more) and yeah I'll close it for now

I'm unable to install the same "save variables" plugin. I typed the name and clicked "Install Plugin" and get this error:
