in atom terminal plus isn't showing up

[vamc05]

atom

terminal plus isn't showing up, i have uninstall and same all well it doesn't show up

[gandhiShepard]

Yeah, I'm getting this same issue too. If you click on the pink bug icon in the bottom right of your screen shot, you can click to "rebuild" the package. This made TerminalPlus show again. But I can't type in the window. No text input appears.

I do see some error when I open up the inspector. I assume that there were some breaking changes with the latest version of Atom.

BTW, this is an excellent Atom plugin!

[lankford]

I think it is happening to me as well... I can open a terminal window, but no prompt... just a flashing cursor block... cannot type into it.

[smtl]

@lankford I am having the same issue. Just installed on version 1.12.5

[gandhiShepard]

So this is the error I see in the Inspector:

/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/src/task.js:52 Module version mismatch. Expected 49, got 46. Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 49, got 46.

I'm guessing that this is a core issue? I tried following the path and I didn't find a app.asar directory anywhere

[micage]

The file "~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/node_modules/pty.js/build/Release/pty.node" is missing. Probably because of node-gyp can not build it. There is also a build error log with a lot of deprecation warnings. Copying pty.node from an older version didn't help either. May installing an older version will work until the issue has been fixed.

[micage]

Solution (that worked for me):

In ~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/package.json in the dependencies section remove the commit id (#......) at the end of the pty.js entry:

"pty.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/pty.js.git#28f2667" becomes "pty.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/pty.js.git"

cd ~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/ npm install apm rebuild

Restart Atom, should be it ;)

[sfauvart]

Hello,

I have the same issue on atom v1.12.5 and terminal-plus v0.14.5.

The solution of @micage (thanks! :+1: ) work for me :

edit l.47 of .atom/packages/terminal-plus/package.json

"pty.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/pty.js.git#28f2667", becomes "pty.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/pty.js.git",

run npm install && apm rebuild on .atom/packages/terminal-plus/ directory

restart atom ide, it's ok.

[gandhiShepard]

That worked! @micage @sfauvart Thanks dewds!

[DrewEdwards]

@sfauvart Worked for me as well! Thanks for the help!

[Vrakfall]

WOW!

I just installed the package a few days ago and it never worked until I tried this. I thought my python was causing all this because of python3 not being supported by node-gyp and that my python2 wasn't really used. (I'm on Archlinux.) Looks like I was wrong.

Thank you again!

[kupoback]

Fo me, I followed @sfauvart 's advice however, I can't npm install, whether using sudo or not. This is my error when I sudo.

Is there something I am misunderstanding? Should I just download the .zip file and install that way?

[Vrakfall]

What command are you calling where? It looks like you're trying to do a npm install terminal-plus inside ~.atom/packages/terminal-plus/ which is, of course, redundant. You might also have terminal-plus in a package.json, somewhere, as a dependency. Check on that.

What you should simply do is:

1. Close atom
2. Change the said line
3. Do the following commands

cd ~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/
npm install
apm rebuild

4. Restart atom

npm install will go read the required dependencies in the package.json file and install them. This is the normal behaviour when you pass no argument to it.

If you're a yarn user, you might also prefer using yarn install --prod instead of npm install.

Edit: On a side note: you shouldn't use sudo when installing packages locally (in a project directory tree).

[kupoback]

@Vrakfall That is exactly what I did last time. Whether I used sudo to npm install or not, the outcome was the same. With that, I am familiar with node.js and using it. I'm just asking if there was something I am missing for the install. I noticed the author asked up to install a separate entity prior to using his plugin, which I also did to try and resolve the issue. None the less, I just returned to using the terminal. Below are my errors though

@kupoback Sorry, I was only able to assume what happened based on the few information I had and the way I was able to reproduce it.

What is in your package.json tho? It looks very weird that npm still tries to download terminal-plus by just using npm install.

[sfauvart]

@kupoback Can you try to uninstall the terminal-plus plugin via the control panel of atom. After that, reinstall them and retry the trick. Like @Vrakfall said, it's looks very weird that npm still tries to download terminal-plus. Note: It's not safe/good practice to run npm as sudo.

[a7madgamal]

thanks everyone for the solutions, but what about fixing it? :D It's making the package useless!

[kupoback]

@Vrakfall : This is my JSON package. https://codeshare.io/ORDfT

@sfauvart : I tried that also, to no avail. I am going to try and download the repo and drop the folder in there to see if that'll do

EDIT: Here is an update after I unzipped the repo. I was still unable to install and rebuild the package. This is the new JSON package. https://codeshare.io/5RyVo2

[gibffe]

Any update on this ? This plugin does not work out of the box with latest Atom.

[Vrakfall]

@kupoback Weirder and weirder. Is it possible that any of your npm projects/modules contains your .atom folder in some way? I mean, mostly being on top of if or by directory linkings, even some $PATH or environment variables can come into play.

There's definitely something trying to force you install terminal-plus into your terminal-plus folder, which is quite paradoxal. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Would you mind trying to move your directory somewhere else, somewhere freer of interferences, and try to npm install there? Then move it back in and do a apm rebuild inside the same directory.

@gibffe I think it's just a matter of time before the contributors finally notice this issue. ;D

[kupoback]

@Vrakfall It is. I mean, I can run npm install on any repo that I started, that has a package.json file in it. But not this one.

Tried it in two spots, the .atom root and my Downloads folder to no avail. :\

[Vrakfall]

@kupoback Let's see if your npm-debug.logs can tell us more about it.

[kupoback]

@Vrakfall: https://codeshare.io/aVOJPG

[Vrakfall]

What if you do node-gyp -v? You mentioned the package's dependencies, are sure you skipped nothing in here?

We can also try by using yarn and see what happens when you yarn install instead of npm install?

[kupoback]

I'll try yarn, but I did do node-gyp -v. Running V 3.9.3 I'll report back with an edit

EDIT: Back in business. yarn install worked just fine. Wonder now if there is something wrong with my npm...

[Vrakfall]

@kupoback That version doesn't even exist. Last one seems to be 3.4.0. https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/releases

Try to reinstall it.

Glad to hear it worked. ^^ This is probably because of the way yarn works, it is deterministic.

On a side note for later, if you plan on keeping yarn, here's a time-saver reminder: don't try to install packages globally with it, yet, because of this: #1060.

[kupoback]

Weird that it said that version when I installed it last night. Glad it's working though. Should reinstall npm just in case, or maybe just leave it to yarn.

Thank you for the tidbit on #1060!

[Vrakfall]

@kupoback You're welcome. ^^

I was thinking about reinstalling node-gyp but a npm reinstallation may also be useful. ^^

Enjoy! :sunglasses:

[diruuu]

Got same problem like @kupoback. I solved it by removed all unnecessary params on package.json. So it looks like this:

{
  "author": {
    "name": "Jeremy Ebneyamin"
  },
  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://github.com/jeremyramin/terminal-plus/issues"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "atom-space-pen-views": "^2.1.0",
    "pty.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/pty.js.git",
    "term.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/term.js.git",
    "underscore": "^1.8.3"
  },
  "description": "A terminal package for Atom, complete with themes and more.",
  "devDependencies": {},
  "engines": {
    "atom": ">=1.2.0"
  },
  "homepage": "https://atom.io/packages/terminal-plus",
  "keywords": [
    "terminal-plus",
    "terminal",
    "plus",
    "panel",
    "tty"
  ],
  "license": "MIT",

  "name": "terminal-plus",
  "optionalDependencies": {},
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/terminal-plus.git"
  }
}

then ran npm install && apm rebuild on .atom/packages/terminal-plus/ directory

restart atom ide, and the terminal-plus got back to the business

[MacKentoch]

Thanks so much @micage and @sfauvart!!!

[dxiaogang]

The solution of @micage (thanks! 👍 ) work for me too,thanks !

[UncleVic]

Sorry, maybe I'm stupid, but I can't do it.

macOS 10.12.1, Atom 1.12.6, node-gyp 3.4.0, node v7.2.0, npm v3.10.9

I've done that

1. Close atom
2. Change the said line
3. Do the following commands

   cd ~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/
   npm install
   apm rebuild

4. Restart atom

But I see black screen and blincking cursor ;( What am I doing wrong?

platformio-ide-terminal dosen't work too.

[ashishwadekar]

@diruuu Thanks for the solution. Worked like a charm. Cheers 👍

[mylastore]

on ARCH LINUX

I did the above and still have the same error and plus all terminal packages I install on Atom do not work I am new to Atom and can't understand why the most important package is not build in just like all the other IDE's well is free so can't complained about not been perfect.

Thankyou very much. I have spend almost 1 hour to find the solution but didn't get much. you have solved my problem :)
