flake8 not found OS X

[david-dever-23-box]

Extension cannot find valid flake8 installation on OS X, installed as

sudo pip install flake8 -- upgrade

[nspforever]

Here is the work around:

1. Click "Help" menu then click the "Show Extensions Folder" then go to brackets-flake8
2. Edit the defaultPreferences.js and change line 15 to defaultPreferences.flake8IsInSystemPath = false; and change defaultPreferences.flake8Path = "/usr/local/bin/flake8";
3. Quit Brackets IDE
4. Step 3 does not work try click Debug menu then click "Restart Node" menu item then restart Brackets IDE again.

Sorry, that does not resolve the problem: • OS X 10.10 Yosemite • Brackets Release 0.44 experimental build 0.44.0-14876 (release 6d2d33d80)

[marcoceppi]

A rewrite of the plugin is underway to use the new linter interface which should improve it's current configuration

[david-dever-23-box]

Is there presently a prescribed workaround, or is this a compatibility issue with newer versions of flake8, on OS X, or in general?

[marcoceppi]

Can you run which pep8 on your system?

$ which pep8

[marcoceppi]

Yeah, system should work. Have you tried adjusting the path to /usr/local/bin/pep8 in the defaultPreferences file?

[david-dever-23-box]

pep8, in the flake8 preferences file??

[marcoceppi]

BLEH, sorry, I mean flake8, run which flake8 (Though, pep8 will work with this plugin)

[david-dever-23-box]

Yes, no change

[david-dever-23-box]

/*global brackets, define */

define(function (require, exports, module) {
    "use strict";

    // Default preferences are different for platforms
    var defaultPreferences = {
        "panelEnabled":                     true,
        // these are set by platform
        "flake8IsInSystemPath":               null,
        "flake8Path":                         null,
        "msysflake8Path":                     null
    };

    defaultPreferences.flake8IsInSystemPath = false;
    defaultPreferences.flake8Path           = "/usr/local/bin/flake8";

    module.exports = defaultPreferences;
});

[marcoceppi]

I'll take a look and push a patch the rewrite to linter is going to take a bit longer

[david-dever-23-box]

OK

[basbebe]

same problem for me – the window just stays empty…

[billyhunt]

Any progress on this? I would love to be able to use your extension.

[robphoenix]

I appear to be having the same issue on Windows 7, the flake8 window just stays empty.

B:\ > > which flake8
C:\Python27\Scripts\flake8.EXE

    defaultPreferences.flake8Path           = "C:\Python27\Scripts\flake8.EXE";

[michel117]

I can report that I have the same issue on osx 10.10.3

[michel117]

Even hard coding the path does not help:

  function getFLAKE8Binary() {

        return "/usr/local/bin/flake8"

//        if (preferences.getValue("flake8IsInSystemPath")) {
//            return "flake8";
//        } else {
//                preferences.getValue("flake8Path");
//        }
    }

sorry for asking but i cant get flake to install, when i try; $ sudo pip install flake8 or without $ sign i get "command not found in terminal using osx 10.11.6

[schroef]

I got the flake installed but still shows error in the installed window. Using OSX 10.11.6 I see this error though when i tried to run the install code, the upgrade code seemed to work. That didnt return errors.
