deserialization of PaneItem broken

[pfitzseb]

or rather not registered early enough. I get a warning whenever I restart Atom with some custom PaneItem open:

No deserializer found for Object {deserializer: "InkWorkspace", id: "julia"}

I suppose this is because Atom tries to deserialize the cached editor before loading the packages, since the deserializer we want appears in atom.deserializers.deserializers on package activation.

This is happening because you broke Ink at some point :) Atom determines whether it can load a package before or after deserialisation; for some reason deferring gets set by package load failure and won't unset itself. But you can fix that by running:

p = atom.packages.getActivePackage('ink')
localStorage.setItem(p.getCanDeferMainModuleRequireStorageKey(), false)

from the console.

(This is the snippet that we ran on activation at one point, but removed since it seemed to cause issues with remembering window size.)

Sweet, thanks (breaking ink happens quite often to me ;)).

Do you remember if we tried to defer running that command until after activation is complete or something like that? Or run it on deactivation?

[MikeInnes]

I think we only ever tried running it on activate – might be worth checking the history for that though. Waiting for Atom to finish activating or something might well give you more luck though.

Just checked -- we didn't try anything else.

Clearing that setting on deactivation seems to work though. I'll push that change for now and we'll see if anything breaks again...
