PHP not working with ST3 on Ubuntu 13.10

[rayman22201]

langinfo.py consistently throws:

• "TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object"

The error occurs with both the autocomplete popup and any go-to function definition. The function or file does not make a difference.

System info:

• It is a Drupal 7 codebase (IDK if that matters).
• Sublime Text 3
• Ubuntu 13.10

Any help is much appreciated. :-)

The CodeIntel.log reads as follows:

Unexpected error with evaluator: 'entity_metadata_wrapper' at shows_seat_selector.module#34

I've got the same error, also Drupal 7 codebase

[rayman22201]

Considering the last commit to this repo was 4 months ago, It may be a while before the devs ever get back to us on this issue. :-1:

[daften]

Jup, saw that too. Too bad, I' be willing to pay (a small amount of) money, if this would work properly :)

[BrianGilbert]

Also getting seeing this issue with ST3 on OS X

[mikerogne]

So just wondering.... did you guys try manually downloading the development branch & loading the plugin that way? It solved a few issues for me... including a similar "wrong type" error.

[rayman22201]

Tried downloading the dev branch, and unfortunately it did not work for me.

[daften]

It works for me, but I installed the plugin only after installing phpcs, that seemed to do it.

[johngrogg]

Having the same issue on OS X when I try to code complete $this.

[spectacles]

@johngrogg I "fixed" this error in CodeComplice by catching the TypeError. Can be installed per packageControl! What ST version are you on?

[johngrogg]

@spectacles ST3. Tried out CodeComplice and it worked great, thanks!
