[CLOSED] Can't install extensions in Brackets only Manually #4332

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by jerrymed Wednesday Aug 07, 2013 at 13:53 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/4688

I've been having an issue with installing extensions since Sprint 27, where I can't install from URL, nor can I from the Extension Browser now in S28.

I've tried reinstalling fresh, erasing cache, erasing cache and installing clean, etc.. Nothing. Any recomendations?

@jerrymed If you open the dev tools afterward (Debug > Show Developer Tools), what do you see in the console?

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by jerrymed Wednesday Aug 07, 2013 at 16:41 GMT

Nothing, a black bar that says "detached from the target"

(Thanks for the Quick reply btw)

This means you have either quit Brackets already, or you already have developer tools opened in another tab. To avoid both of those problems, click Debug > Show Developer Tools the moment you launch Brackets, then leave that tab open. When you see the "Installation failed" dialog, switch back to that tab and look at the console.

Same thing s: Closed brackets and all instances of Chrome. Did as you mentioned, and from the start it said Detached from target. Still preceded with trying to install an extension, with no luck s:

If you launch Brackets and then manually go to http://localhost:9234/ in Chrome, what do you see?

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by jerrymed Wednesday Aug 07, 2013 at 20:39 GMT

Closed Brackets and reopened, had Chrome closed just in case as well. Typed in the address you told me, and I see the link to the file I had last opened.

Tried to install an ext again just to see if anything changed in chrome, but remained the same.

@jerrymed Ok, do that again except when you bring up http://localhost:9234, click that link. It should open the dev tools and there should be no "detached from target" message. Then look in the Console tab of the dev tools while you're trying to install an extension.

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by jerrymed Wednesday Aug 07, 2013 at 21:18 GMT

Just did that right now. And it went from a grey bar, to the black bar "Detached from the target" s: Is there a way to erase all trace of Brackets and start again?

But of course, if all this if helpful for you guys, I'm more than glad to help.

@peterflynn I have the same issue, when in work where windows authentication proxy is used. The console is not showing any issues.

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by zaggino Wednesday Aug 07, 2013 at 22:19 GMT

This might be an issue with HTTPS protocol, because our proxy is decrypting the traffic, we need to use git config http.sslVerify false in git to access github. Is there an option to use HTTP instead of HTTPS to access extensions?

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by peterflynn Thursday Aug 08, 2013 at 03:14 GMT

@jerrymed So you're saying that when you click the link (like the one in your screenshot above), you see the dev tools start to load, and then without you touching anything else the "detached" message appears spontaneously? If that's the case it sounds like there may be some sort of firewall software on your computer that's being overzealous about blocking socket connections. That could certainly interfere with downloading & installing extensions too (and it probably breaks Live Preview entirely). If you're aware of any software like that, can you try disabling it temporarily and see if that fixes the problem?

Comment by peterflynn Thursday Aug 08, 2013 at 03:20 GMT

@zaggino I think you're in luck! As a hack, try this:

  1. Go to your install directory and open www/config.json
  2. Change the extension_url property to use http
  3. Restart Brackets and see if installing works

Comment by zaggino Thursday Aug 08, 2013 at 03:58 GMT

@peterflynn yes, that worked for me, thanks.

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by jerrymed Thursday Aug 08, 2013 at 13:10 GMT

@peterflynn Funny thing is, Live Preview works perfectly S: But yes, just as you said, it goes automatically into "detached" out of the blue after a few secs from pressing the link.

I'll try the solution you gave@zaggino --

Didn't work either. I'll just stick to installing manually. Strange how this happened.

@peterflynn for further investigation. Low priority.

Comment by jerrymed Friday Aug 09, 2013 at 17:22 GMT

Seems I'm not the only one with this problem in the office, I guess it is a firewall we have no access to. So that's that. thanks and sorry if I wasted your time.

I have exactly the same problem on my Ubuntu 13.04. No firewalls, no proxies, Brackets installation directory owned by my user. Launching Brackets with root privileges doesn't help as well.

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by metalbrick Tuesday Aug 20, 2013 at 11:22 GMT

Using Ubuntu 13.04, same problem with me. Start bracket in console, giving the output as follow:

ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment. [0820/192013:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(211)] GLib: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set. The overwriting error message was: Operation not supported

@bogdan-kulynych and@metalbrick we don't support the Extension Manager on linux yet. It's coming though. See #4772 and https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/pull/278.

I have a similar problem with not being able to install extensions on Windows, but this only surfaced in sprint 36. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as changing extension_url in config.json, but to no avail. Oddly enough, reverting to sprint 35 works like a charm....

Comment by gnetsys Monday Feb 24, 2014 at 00:50 GMT

I had a similar issue, its working fir me with elevated previledeges (run as admin).

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by peterflynn Tuesday Mar 18, 2014 at 01:55 GMT

@ToucheSir Are you on Windows XP? Sprint 36 has a known issue with installing extensions on XP...

@gnetsys Do you have any sort of firewall or network security software running on your machine? If so, can you try disabling it temporarily to see if Brackets works when run normally (non-admin)?

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by ToucheSir Tuesday Mar 18, 2014 at 02:07 GMT

Yep, stuck on XP for the time being. Removing the offending file watcher binary as mentioned in another issue (forget which one) solved the issue. Looking forward to #7200 :)

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by peterflynn Thursday Apr 03, 2014 at 21:09 GMT

Closing --@ToucheSir's case was a known issue that was fixed in Sprint 37. The earlier reports after this was reopened are all on Linux, where Extension Manager wasn't supported at the time (already fixed now).

@gnetsys If you're still seeing the problems you mentioned can you open a new issue with more details about what security/firewall software is installed on your machine?

Comment by hotcoder Monday Jun 02, 2014 at 03:17 GMT

Same issue Not able to install extension in the office network , even changed to extension_url protocol to http , their should some option of installing from the "download extension .zip file and install extension from downloaded zip file"

@hotcoder That is currently tracked by 'Install Extension from Zip File on Disk' on our backlog -- please upvote to help raise its importance.

@luigilabel I'm not sure how your screenshot is connected to the issue you're describing. Did you try to select Debug > Show Developer Tools for some reason? You shouldn't need to... If your Internet access requires a proxy server, you can use the proxy preference to get extension downloading working. Otherwise, please file a new bug with more details on your networking setup so we can try to diagnose.

The problem for me was in my hosts file. Make sure you haven't tampered with localhost...

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Comment by carvajalluis Wednesday Jun 04, 2014 at 01:49 GMT

ok, i did a clean installation of mavericks, then installed brackets then I couldn't get any extension, the same freaking installation error: unknown error (but in spanish) : captura de pantalla 2014-06-03 a la s 20 40 52

then I read around here to click Show Dev Tools and see the error but this is the result : captura de pantalla 2014-06-03 a la s 20 43 52 Other than that I tried to add a proxy with no success neither i could install them manually because it seams such a pain in the ass compared to just doing click you know? I miss my brackets working properly, it used to be my whole dev environment.

I'm using preinstalled apache on mac os and mysql from oracle community bundle.
