No longer functioning? Can you suggest steps to troubleshoot? #39

This is a fantastic package, one that I rely on all the time. However starting on 3/27/17 for some reason, I can no longer get open-in-browser to work in dropdown menu, either in file, or, in the file tree. I uninstalled and reinstalled the package. I didn't have nuclide and noticed in the 0.4.7 version you mentioned one should have it installed for open-in-browser to work. I installed nuclide and then installed open-in-browser again, but still it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hey @tarah34, thanks for opening up this issue. I haven't actively been keeping track with my plugin which is a shame. I'm not sure what could be the cause of the problem.

I wonder if you disabled all of other plugins, if you have any; and just tried the open-in-browser one, it's possible another plugin might be interfering with it.

You don't need nuclide, I may have reported that incorrectly. If I'm remembering that correctly, the issue was that it wasn't opening in nuclide and a pull-request solved that problem.

There is also a Pull request that's been open for close to a year, that I reviewed but never added on to the plugin, which may fix a lot of other problems.

Hi @magbicaleman, I solved the issue and your plugin remains a daily can't-live-without tool. The problem was that I had changed the default "open with" on .html files to Atom instead of a web browser and that made the plugin stop functioning. Once I changed that back, your plugin in Atom worked again. Sorry to have raised a flag, but by communicating the problem, I managed to create the energy to solve the problem :)

@tarah34 no worries, that is something that completely slipped my mind. Glad you caught that and came back to document your solution. Feel free to raise the flags at any time (in life).
