Bug - Chain is not functioning in Sketch

[EstelleRigault]

Hi @LaloMrtnz – thanks for putting your time and effort into what looks like a great plugin. And congratulations on getting featured on ProductHunt!

I seem to be having an issue with Chain where I can install the plugin but the Chain window does not appear after clicking Plugins > Chain > New Chain (or any option).

I have reinstalled the plugin, restarted my computer and sketch, disabled all plugins except Chain, and have updated Sketch. I am on the latest version of Sketch (45.2).

I hope this information helps :)

Hi, @EstelleRigault and thanks a lot for installing and supporting Chain.

Just to make sure, are you selecting at least two layers before running the command? If you do that and Chain is still not working, can you please send me your logs?

To do that: 1. Go to your Utilities folder inside your Applications folder and open the app Console 2. Inside the Console app, go to the search bar on the top right corner, type Sketch and hit return. (That will show only the logs related to Sketch) 3. Try running the plugin again, the logs should change. 4. Please copy and paste those logs here to see what's failing.

If you have any doubt, I'll be glad to help. 😉

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

Here's the log:

29/07/2017 1:52:09.670 PM New Chain (Sketch)[47977]: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'removeItemFromArray'.
Plugin “Chain”, line 4:
» let removeItemFromArray = function(array, item){

}

That's weird, that log message makes no sense given the context you're telling me.

Can you please try to uninstall the plugin, then redownload and reinstall it?

Hi @LaloMrtnz – great plugin, would love to use it. I am on the latest version of Sketch (45.2) and New Chain command doesn't open any modal Here are the logs:

Hello, @stephanedelgado. Reinstalling the plugin is not working? I've been trying really hard to replicate the bug, but I haven't been able to do so. Could you help giving more information?

Hey @LaloMrtnz, here is what I got:

Sketch V45.2 Trying to chain selected layers and nothing happens, chaining not working.

[lalomts]

You're all having the same issue but I still cannot replicate it. Have you all tried resinstalling it?

Also, can you please specify if you have created Chains before experiencing the problem and what kind of layers you're trying to chain?

[haziqmir]

@LaloMrtnz I did reinstall the plugin. I went as far as to disable all other plugins but Chain, yet it didn't work. I have not been able to create any Chains so far.

Guys, @haziqmir mentioned he's not using the latest OSX, at first I thought that should not be a problem, but I'm not really sure now.

Can you all share what OS version you're using? It might be a problem with using ES6

[alekspetrov]

Sierra 10.12.6

[lalomts]

@alekspetrov Your logs are not the same as everybody else's. Can you see the modal screen where you select the options after clicking New Chain?

[alekspetrov]

@LaloMrtnz yes, I can see options window, but clicking to "chain" do nothing

[lalomts]

@alekspetrov alright, then your problem is different. Would you mind opening a New Issue explaining your situation? Please make sure to include the color of the layers you're trying to chain, and the options you're setting on the selection screen (the type of chain, the properties you're chaining [fill/border], and the value you're entering)

SAME ISSUE OXS 10.11.3 -I can't update the OS on my work laptop, but can on mine at home. Wil try tonight and confirm if I have the same bug

[stephanedelgado]

Sketch version 46.1 running on OSX 10.11.6 Deleted then re-installed latest plug-in, created two rectangles (one grey and one red). Having both rectangles selected, command-shift-C does nothing.

Hey, guys, the plugin is updated now to work with ES5, which I think is the problem based on the feedback you provided.

You can download it now from Github or simply update it through Sketch.
