No or empty console #131

Closed mbutz closed 3 years ago

mbutz commented 3 years ago

Hi,

when I try to use Tidal with Atom I don't get a console within Atom. I also do get an error (as you can see in the screenshot) but I can use Atom as it seems without problems.

atom-tidal-error

The critical issue is the missing console and therefore no visible error messages.

I am on

the error in the right part of the screen is telling me that you have an old ghc version that can't interpret the prompt-cont line contained in the BootTidal.hs file, there's a troubleshooting section about that in README.md file https://github.com/tidalcycles/atom-tidalcycles#some-flags-have-not-been-recognized-prompt-cont

Hi,

yes, that's true, right now I am running 8.0.2. But checking the installed packages I see the following installed:

Now I thought I just get rid of the package ghc but then synaptic tells me it will also remove cabal-install which came with the Tidal installation (following the userbase article about installation).

So now I am confused. I assume, if I do not have cabal-install I will not be able to update Tidal if necessary. So this somehow seems to be a cat chasing its tail. Can you point me again into the right direction?

I fully understand if you say this is not the place to give installation advisory. Let me know and I will ask this question at the Tidal Club.

Yes, if it's not about this plugin, that's not the right place to ask ;)
