Description

... what is the issue / request ?

• Attempting to use a color helper tool such as Edit and Mix fails with the exception below (this particular one from the Color Info popup).
• This is the same for attempts at accessing from Color Info popup, Context Menu and Command Palette, all returning almost identical tracebacks.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/Sublime Text 4.app/Contents/MacOS/Lib/python33/sublime_plugin.py", line 1488, in run_
    return self.run(edit, **args)
TypeError: run() missing 1 required positional argument: 'color_helper_edit'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am not experiencing this issue.

I may need more info. Is this occurring in a particular file type?

  File "/Users/errollloyd/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Installed Packages/ColorHelper.sublime-package/ch_mixin.py", line 23, in setup_gamut_style
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'load_settings'

This seems like something went wrong with Sublime, not ColorHelper. If we look at the line in question, this is Sublime's plugin API:

    def setup_gamut_style(self):
        """Setup the gamut style."""

        ch_settings = sublime.load_settings('color_helper.sublime-settings')

If sublime is None, then something big went wrong with the whole plugin system. I'd try and restart Sublime. Worst case, uninstall ColorHelper, and try to reinstall it.

I did push an update this evening to fix a small issue with custom Color objects. Maybe after Sublime updated your plugin, the plugin state went bad. I imagine a restart is all that is needed. I ran this in a clean, portable Sublime, and everything is working as expected.

[maegul]

Yep ... I didn't see that an update had come through. Works just fine! Sorry for the hassle!!

[facelessuser]

Yeah, to not annoy people, I don't post messages on bug fix releases as all those package control messages can get annoying, especially in times when numerous releases are getting pushed (like recently).

Unfortunately, even bug fix releases can sometimes cause certain parts of the plugin not to reload properly after an update, especially ones with deeply nested source. It's the downside of plugins getting patched on the fly. Simple plugins with a single source file usually update with little to no issues, but ColorHelper is far more complex than that.
