During updating the plugins I get following error message:

[pcnate]

have you tried running hyper version? I had an issue (#3602) where the CLI was showing an old version while the running app shows 3.0.0

have you tried running hyper version? I had an issue (#3602) where the CLI was showing an old version while the running app shows 3.0.0

I have the issue aswell and hyper version is showing the correct version:

[flostadler]

hyper version is showing 3.0.0

[pcnate]

another suggestion is https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/3590#issuecomment-489672067

[jarckn]

hyper version is showing 3.0.0

Are you using Hyper behind a proxy? Not using a proxy fixed this for me.

[flostadler]

Nope, no proxy either

Please stop spamming this thread (it's annoying for people who have subscribed for meaningful updates). Use the 👍 emoji on the issue description.

You should run hyper from the command line and see if the full error pops up there since it seems that you can't see the full notification text on windows. For me it said node is not recognized as a command so I installed nodejs. The plugin I was trying to run still didn't work but maybe that was the plugin's fault.

[vivekrp]

Any fixes for this? I keep getting this error pop-up every time I open/re-open Hyper. Tried everything, removed all plugins, uninstalled Hyper and installed again, reinstalled node & npm. Still no luck.

[Stanzilla]

can you try a CI build from canary?

[vivekrp]

can you try a CI build from canary?

I am a bit confused, did you mean changing stable to the canary in .hyper.js and restarting? Tried that didn't work.

or

Cloning the new canary build from GitHub and running it locally?

[Stanzilla]

You're on macOS, right? Download the dmg from here then https://app.circleci.com/jobs/github/zeit/hyper/2433/artifacts

[vivekrp]

I uninstalled the previous version, deleted old .hyper.js file and installed the canary build from your dmg file. I don't see the "Error updating plugins" now when I start Hyper. But unable to install any plugins now, I tried hyper i plugin-name, tried adding manually to the new .hyper.js file but doesn't work.

[Stanzilla]

okay can you open (or search, I think there is an issue about that error already) an issue about that please.

[IgorGanapolsky]

What is the solution? I am getting the same warning pop up on Mac OS and Hyper 3.0.2...

[vannaka]

@IgorGanapolsky, did you try running the Hyper 3.1.0 canary build here? It should fix the "Error updating plugins problem" but leads to a new problem, Issue 3670 "Cannot read property 'properties' of undefined".

[IgorGanapolsky]

@vannaka 3.1.0 doesn't work at all. It is frozen and nothing's clickable:

[Stanzilla]

turn of your plugins please

[IgorGanapolsky]

@Stanzilla how?

[Stanzilla]

open your config and delete the plugins names from the array

plugins: [],

[IgorGanapolsky]

@Stanzilla Which plugins are compatible?

[Stanzilla]

no idea, just try without any and see if the problem goes away

[CanRau]

3.1.0 canary1 works for me so far, I'm on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and I've got hyperline & hyper-search plugins successfully running 👍

[Ryan315]

hyperline will cause that warning.

[IgorGanapolsky]

@Ryan315. I disabled hyperline and still getting the warning...

[kgleason]

Sorry to resurrect a closed issue, but I have this exact issue in Windows 10 on Hyper 3.0.2. The link for the canary build 404s, and I don't really see any other proposed resolution.

[IgorGanapolsky]

Yeah this is still an issue in the latest Hyperterm, regardless of the plugins.

[albertorb]

In Mac OS I solved it by just installing npm with brew.

[AndyEdwards22]

Just to confirm, I tried most of the solutions above - instaling both npm and hyper via brew did it for me too.

[luixal]

I'm still getting this issue on win10 and hyper 3.0.2 :(

Just to give you guys an update and hopefully, some of the folks here will find comfort in this crazy painful COVID-19 time :)

I have been getting the same problem, it all started when I copied someone's configuration to make my Hyper look cool and I ended up with this error, Hyper was not even opening. Uninstall/reinstall did not help.

Here is what worked for me on Windows 10:

1. Uninstall Hyper
2. Remove the following two folders, as these are not removed automatically.
   • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Hyper
   • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\hyper
3. Install the latest Hyper, for me it was hyper-Setup-3.0.2.exe

Note: remember to replace with your own Windows user :p

Send some prayers for the entire world if this worked for you :)

Works for me. Thx.

I had the same problem here.

The problem is complicated to discover, but it is more than obvious.

We install "hyper" on Windows, via Windows, and then we want to install plugins etc via WSL (Bash Linux). It will not work!

To resolve, go back to the default configuration of Hyper (deleting ".hyper.js" for example) where it will open with the "cmd" Windows again. Install all the plugins you want (with "hyper install hypercwd" for example), and only after that, you change to WSL.

Applause! kkkkkkkkkkk

I had this issue (twice - once for my mac mini m1 and once for my macbook air m1) For me it was a permissions problem. I noticed that because every time I had to do a npm install / yarn add I got EACCES permission denied, I had to sudo everything - turns out that this was also messing up the ability of hyper to install plugins as well.

try doing this:

chown -R yourusername /users/yourusername

that solved the above issues I was having on my m1 mac

[davidrock]

The solution for me was to clear the plugins list in the .hyper.js file and removing the packages inside the .hyper_plugins folder.

[JigarJoshi04]

For me, the issue solved by removing the plugin "hyperline". I would suggest start removing one by one plugin and update. Some plugin is creating this issue.

[skm7463]

Ah yes, I've tested so many plugins and most don't really work well when put under strain.

I'm actually developing my own plugin to do far more than anything I can find out there and to avoid the trap of having to have lots of small plugins to make to give features I need. I need UI enhancements and automation options.

The problem of using multiple plugins is also that few actually work together well.

The freeze that I reported is testable without any plugins (raw hyper). It seems at first that it might have been issue for you but glad you solve it.
