Atom installs its own tern

[jpenninkhof]

The setup section in the readme mentions that you'll have to install Tern and copy openui5.js to the plugins directory. However, atom-ternjs installs its own version of Tern. It is not necessary to install it seperately. The openui5.js should obsviously still be copied, but to a tern/plugins directory under the users' ~/.atom directory.

You are absolutely right.

What the readme is trying to say is that you need to install Tern, one way or another. The Atom specific section is simply suggesting a way how to easily get a Tern installation that integrates well with Atom.

I can see how the current description is confusing, though -- I will have another look at it over the next few days and try to find a better way to phrase it.

Thanks for looking into this Timo. You’re right, It put me on the wrong leg as I am (was) not familiar with Tern. Do let me know if you’re open for a contribution in this area. I don’t mind putting my copywriting skills to a test ;)

Perhaps a bit off-topic: I also noticed that the webcrawler currently breaks on a documentation page in which > and < characters weren’t encoded properly. In order to fix it in the crawler, I’m afraid it would be necessary to open the bonnet of cheerio. Instead, I have asked SAP to look into the page and hope they’ll fix the invalid html-encoding on that page: https://github.com/SAP/openui5/issues/875

Excellent initiative Timo! Love it!

Cheers, Jan

Feel free to contribute to this project -- I would love to make this a community effort! It's great to see that I'm not the only one using this plugin. :)

Regarding your second point, I haven't even noticed that one yet. I opened issue #6 for it to keep it separate from this documentation issue.

Thanks! Timo

@jpenninkhof I had a go at the docs, hope that clarifies things a bit.

I also described how to install the plugin in Atom directly via npm, getting rid of the copy-paste magic. :-)
