Doesn't work on windows 8

[lizardking93]

I'm on windows 8. It just doesn't output anything when I click on the mobile icon :( I pressed F12 on brackets to check any error on the chrome console and this is what happens:

[lizardking93]

Sometimes it doesn't show up any error but still doesn't work

[kidwm]

I'll test it in Windows 7 when I'm not so busy, maybe next week.

[lizardking93]

Ok, thanks :)

[geoffreyvd]

same here, just installed the extension from the extension manager, so i didn't add or overwrite any files, same error log as @lizardking93

[kidwm]

I've uploaded a new version, it should be able to launch on Windows now, but I think that on Windows there are still some glitches have to be solved.

[lizardking93]

Hey @kidwm thanks for remembering but I just tried and still doesn't work. :(

[kidwm]

@lizardking93 Have you tried to remove other extensions?

[lizardking93]

@kidwm , I have zero extensions installed. I even tried to reinstall brackets..

[kidwm]

That's so weird. Have you tried it on other machines? @geoffreyvd How about you?

[lizardking93]

@kidwm I'm gonna try in another computer as soon I get home.

[geoffreyvd]

My brackets is fucked i will try to fix it tonight, i will let you know

[lizardking93]

@kidwm just tried on another computer with windows 8 and doesn't work either. Same error.. :/

[kidwm]

@lizardking93 okay, I'll find a Windows 8 machine and take a look futher.

[lizardking93]

@kidwm thank you :)

[geoffreyvd]

Fixed brackets; restart pc and re-installed brackets, installed the extension but still got the same error: "detached from the target". Thanks for the support, hope u can use my feedback.

[lizardking93]

@geoffreyvd I'm sure this only happens on windows 8. Can't wait for windows 10 :(

[kidwm]

@lizardking93 That's too bad. if so, I'll try to find what happened with Brackets dev team.

[kidwm]

Which files do you guys try it ? I've noticed that it would not work in the 'Getting Started' example comes with Brackets because of folder permissions.

[lizardking93]

@kidwm I tried with some files that I'm currently working on and I just tried with the demo files from the original repo and it doesn't work :/

[kidwm]

@lizardking93 I just tried it on Windows 8.1 and all works, would you mind uploading a screencast?

[lizardking93]

@kidwm , that's weird. Maybe I'm doing something wrong :( here you have a screencast: http://www.screencast.com/t/gpb8bhnfW

[geoffreyvd]

Nice it's working, at the left bar i selected 'get started' and i opened a different directory with .html files i was working on and now it is working

[lizardking93]

omfg, @kidwm I'm so sorry ! I just read what @geoffreyvd said and I tried opening my files on the "get started" and it worked. I'm really sorry for this :(

[kidwm]

@lizardking93 Never mind it, I'll find a better way to handle the folder permission issue.

[geoffreyvd]

So i am using it, and it works but there are still a lot of bugs :/ so gl fixing

[ikbenben]

can you try the original code. lots of work has been done on it and I did some quick testing on windows 8 and didn't see any issues

the extension is called "Response for Brackets - original" in the extension manager. It has been uploaded today with a lot of fixes in it. Install that instead of the one uploaded by kidwm

the original code base can be found at https://github.com/brimelow/Response-for-Brackets/issues
