Linux: Brackets cannot save files

[plomp90]

Installed Brackets on a brand new Arch Linux installation, and everything works except I can't save files. When I go to file->save, or save as, it appears to save but the "unsaved changes" indicator next to the filename remains, and there is no saved file. I have created a new report for this error because previous reports about not saving files were about temporary issues; this is permanent, and renders the program unusable.

There is no console output other than "ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment" when brackets is launched or running.

Hi @plomp90,

that sounds weird. The error is unrelated and has something to do with Arch in general (for example https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/7195)

Could you try to see if https://github.com/adobe/brackets/blob/1b64b1ed0f4fc1903509c0e011cf67c43f936a82/src/document/DocumentCommandHandlers.js#L1019 ever gets triggered when saving? You could try setting up a breakpoint there in the devtools, or cloning the repo and placing some debug console.logs around the method.

See the article How to hack on Brackets to get started with the Brackets codebase.

@plomp90, Are you using the installed build or dev build with the current master? If you are using the current master then you need to install the latest pre-release, since we have made some changes around save file in the shell side also. You can download the latest pre-release here https://github.com/adobe/brackets/releases/tag/release-1.10-prerelease-3

Yep, I just ran into it myself and updating helped 👯
