"Failed to load the script-runner package" after updating from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1

[wjandrea]

I just updated and now when I open a new window, I get this error.

As well, the links in the error popup don't work, but I'm not sure if these are the fault of the package or Atom:

• Create issue on the script-runner package
  • When I click it, the Atom JS console says POST https://is.gd/create.php?format=simple 400
• script-runner package
  • When I click it, nothing happens.
  • Inspecting the source, it points to an SSH URL, not HTTP: ssh://git@github.com/ioquatix/script-runner

More info

Here's the relevant info from the error report. I can add more if needed.

Versions

Atom: 1.60.0 x64 Electron: 9.4.4 OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 Thrown From: script-runner package 2.6.1

For reference, here's the GitHub comparison of 2.6.0 vs 2.6.1.

Issue #117 had the same error but no additional details

[wjandrea]

I just found #116 → atom/atom/issues/23224, and it looks like this is a broader issue. Any workaround then?

[wjandrea]

I just noticed, the package is actually working fine despite the error. Hmm...

[ioquatix]

It must be this package that's causing the problem:

https://github.com/ioquatix/shell-environment/blob/master/lib/index.js#L4

Can you try deleting the package from .atom/packages/script-runner and try reinstalling?

[wjandrea]

I deleted the folder .atom/packages/script-runner then ran apm install script-runner, but the error persists.

While I was testing, I tried apm install 'script-runner@2.6.0', and the error persists, and the package still works fine. Very strange...

[ioquatix]

Ultimately, if there is an issue, it's with os-locale which we should try to pin to a version that works with commonjs.

[wjandrea]

I just noticed, the package is actually working fine despite the error. Hmm...

Whoops! I just realized I was confusing this package with run-in-terminal! In fact, script-runner doesn't work.

Sorry, I'm just going to use run-in-terminal instead. It's more powerful though it has some rough edges (no working defaults and invalid quoting when passing args to scripts, IIRC).

[ioquatix]

This should now be fixed but you will need to reinstall, a dependent package had a bad version pin.

There is one more package that has updated to use ES6 imports, the os-locale dependency of shell-environment. See ioquatix/shell-environment#5 fοr more detail.

Edit: I apparently should have read the whole thread, as you seem to have already identified that package. However, as far as I can tell, no fix appears to have been applied yet.

[ioquatix]

Atom doesn’t support ES module’s unfortunately so I’ve pinned all the dependencies to non-ES modules. I’ve tested this locally and it appears to be working on both Linux and macOS.

[thatcomputerguy0101]

Ah, sorry, I didn't realize that you had updated shell-environment's NPM module ahead of the repository. I just did a reinstall, and it seems to all work now.
