sublime empty error message

[gertcuykens]

I get allot of this when editing scripts in html

That is indeed a very, very useless error message. Most likely, an empty HTTP response came back from the Tern server (due to it crashing, possibly), since the response text is being used directly as error message.

I could put a string in front of the error (Request failed: or so), but that wouldn't help much in this case, since you still don't know why the request failed.

If you have experience with packet sniffers (ngrep, wireshark, whatever), maybe you can get more information about the issue here by looking at the HTTP traffic.

Alternatively, start a server manually (first kill all existing servers, then start the tern binary in your project directory, passing it --verbose for extra output), so that you can see what it is doing.

hmm I don't see anything happening?

It think the plugin simple does not find tern at all?

[gertcuykens]

I narrowed it down too <script>...</script> if the script tag is not closed yet example <template><script>....</template> tern start crashing before you can type </script>

Can you maybe just suppress the popup and only display it in the status bar like a normal message?

hmm I don't see anything happening?

Did you kill existing Tern instances before running the server from the command line? And are you in the directory that the file you are editing is also in? For me, running the server does cause Sublime Text to connect to it, and I can see the --verbose output.

I still wasn't able to reproduce this, even when I create an html file with an unclosed script tag in it.

ok i will close this for now until I have time for a more solid example.

I saw the same issue today and it just begins to happen without any change. Any one has idea how to solve it? Tried disable Tern and reinstall, but that does not work.
