Error notification 'Could not find elm-package.json'

[raffomania]

This notification pops up every time I start atom in a non-elm project. Is there a way to make it less obtrusive?

[halohalospecial]

Hi @raffomania, that notification should only appear if you have an open .elm file :-)

[raffomania]

Interesting. It happens to me even in an empty folder. Any hints to debug this?

[halohalospecial]

Hmm, that's weird. Can you provide a screen capture so that I can see your workflow?

[raffomania]

Here you go. It's a pretty standard setup. Atom and all packages are up to date.

[halohalospecial]

Thank you for the screen cap. That sure is weird! Maybe another installed package has a bad interaction with elmjutsu (happened more than once before).

To be sure, you can do the following:

1. Quit Atom.
2. Rename ~/.atom (e.g. mv ~/.atom ~/.atom-backup).
3. Open Atom. Atom will create a new ~/.atom directory.
4. Install language-elm and elmjutsu.
5. Quit Atom.
6. Open Atom again to check if the issue is still there.
7. If the issue has been resolved, you can install packages one by one to find out which has a bad interaction with elmjutsu.

P.S. I'm also usually online on https://elmlang.slack.com :-)

@raffomania Not sure if you had this resolved already. If not, you can try the latest version (2.8.4). I fixed something that might be related to your issue.

[raffomania]

Wow, seems to be fixed with the latest version. Thanks a lot for this awesome plugin!

I've just updated to 7.1.5 and I experience this error whenever I open my project in a subdirectory (i.e. the elm-package.json is not present in the project).

If it's included, elmjitsu seems to work fine.

[halohalospecial]

How does the directory structure look like?

[amitaibu]

client (is the root, has `elm-package.json`)
    |_ src
       |_elm (this is where I open Atom)
           |_ App
           |_ Backend
           |_ Pages
       |_assets
       |_js

[halohalospecial]

The elm directory is the Atom project? Can you try opening client as the Atom project instead?

[amitaibu]

Yes, if I open the client it works ok -- but up until the recent update (it was 7.1.2 if I'm not mistaken) it worked also by opening the elm directory.

[halohalospecial]

Yeah, sorry, it was to prevent it from going beyond the project directory when an elm-package.json doesn't exist. (See https://github.com/halohalospecial/atom-elmjutsu/issues/24.) Maybe there's a better way?

[amitaibu]

Just to clarify -- it seems #24 was solved long time ago (and it worked fine until my update today)

[halohalospecial]

Hmm.. maybe better to revert to the old behavior :) I'll include the fix in the next release. Thanks!
