Incompatible with Atom 1.39.0 - Discussion on Current state of affairs

[timmay7]

Solution

There is blocker issue https://github.com/daviwil/node-pty-prebuilt

I'm not sure that @daviwil will fix it soon. Please switch to PlatformIO IDE for VSCode which has a built-in terminal.

[x] I have reset Atom to defaults prior to submitting report.

Description

I get a little bug icon on the bottom of the window. If you click that, you get some info about incompatibility. YOu also get the option to rebuild the package. Clicking that option seems to work. After restarting atom, the package works.

[the-j0k3r]

@pdxwolfy Thanks for providing that information, though can you provide a screenshot so as to help those of us who need to see exactly what they should be looking for?

Also node-gyp has been reported to fail with any other python version higher than 2.7.0 most people use higher or current versions of python. Did you install anything specific to that? If so please provide this information if possible with step-by-step instructions so that the less technical of users can follow.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

Hi the-j0k3r,

Yes, I have both python2 and python3 installed via homebrew, and node-gyp seems to install fine now (I have had problems with it recently, but I completely uninstalled all traces of python from homebrew (including pyenv) and then reinstalled python2 and python3, and now it seems to work.

Unfortunately, I can't post a screen shot now since it was only present before I rebuilt the package. When I started Atom before that, there was a little bug icon down on the right side of the status line. I clicked that icon to see what it was about, and that's when I got the message about incompatibility. There was a clickable item on the screen that said "Rebuild packages", and I did. When it finished, it restarted Atom, and the complaint about incompatibility was gone, and the terminal was once again working. I'm sorry that I can't provide more info than that.

Oh, the tab that had the messages about incompatibility was labeled "Incompatible Packages"; you can get there with. You can open it from the command pallette

[the-j0k3r]

Installed Atom 1.39 then tried to install platformio-ide-terminal

@pdxwolfy sadly I see no such icon, but I will retry.

Also, homebrew is macOS, Im on Windows 10 pro 1809 Atom sadly doesnt seem to be consistent across OS's Its similar but not exactly the same

What I did

1. Installed chocolatey https://chocolatey.org/install as its easier to manage packages
2. installed python 2 https://chocolatey.org/packages/python2
3. Installed nodejs https://chocolatey.org/packages/nodejs.install
4. Installed node-gyp (which wont work because apm specifies some outdated version 3.7.0 and wont work with any other)
5. Installed platformio-ide-terminal via Atom > File > Install > platformio-ide-terminal

Did not see any icon and failure as above.

I will try installing older Atom 1.38.2 and platformio-ide-terminal 2.9.1 and then letting Atom upgrade.

[UziTech]

@the-j0k3r try the following

1. clone the platformio-ide-terminal repo
2. use npm i to install dependencies
3. apm link to install the package
4. Open Atom and you will see the icon at the bottom.

[the-j0k3r]

OK heres how I got to see the bug ICON

1. Installed Atom 1.38.2
2. Installed platformio-ide-terminal via Atom > File > Install > platformio-ide-terminal
3. upgraded Atom to 1.39.0

Result failure same as above

3rd try, what @UziTech suggested.

Both Atom 1.38.2 + upgrade or @UziTech instructions result in

[the-j0k3r]

Tried also with nodejs 8.9.3 but node-gyp is severely outdated in Atom more specifically apm, node-pty-prebuilt has lost its maintainer/developer to Microsoft. No idea, its extremely frustrating also becaise all devs are bailing Atom and related plugins/dependencies

EDIT:

@UziTech Due to the sheer number of direct project dependencies and the indirect dependencies ( dependencies of the dependencies) its impossible to satisfy your suggestion of taking responsibility for their failures (hence wontfix label will be staying whether this is ideal or not while I take care of the issue tracker here.
Feel free to join discussion on this here also), Rationale for this decision: no project I know of that doesn't develop its own dependencies accepts this premise you have suggested in the other issue report I hid as offtopic. (this is why Im opening this up for discussion, we dont need offtopic clutter in issues I hope youll agree.)

I admit, as a issue tracker contributor for this project and because of #543 and the lack of developer contributors for this project have forced me to adopt the strict constrictions regarding such dependencies. It would be insane amount of reports that no one looks at from a developer standpoint in 95% of cases (because only 5% of those cases had developers pushing contributions to address them in most recent times after the main developer called it quits).

Also issue reports quality are extremely poor in this project as most people ignore the issue templates which were added to at least provide actionable information in order to find fixes/workarounds to that do provide full information, I have endeavored to find/post/repost workarounds as they are found.

As of Atom 1.39.0 and OS depending (for successful) node-gyp rebuilds, ALL terminals that depend on node-pty-prebuilt are dead (the dev/maintainer now works for Microsoft and responds to no emails/contact attempts).

We need alternatives (for terminals and dependencies and developers to implement them) and other than VScode.

Atom devs that used such terminals will either do something about it or ignore the issue unless someone capable comes along that is able to address these issues.

Im trying not to sound/come across as caustic or as a troll if any of this is offensive, I will pre-emptively apologise as its not my intention.

I was able to rebuild the package on Windows 10 x64 1903 and now it's working in Atom 1.39.0 x64.

1. Install Python 2.7.15 (x64) and Python 3.7.4 (x86 and x64)
2. npm install --global --production windows-build-tools (it took about 10 minutes to complete)
3. npm install -g node-gyp
4. And finally win10, atom v1.0.13, terminal-plus v0.4.3 not working jeremyramin/terminal-plus#15 (comment)
   Node.js version is 10.16.0

Solution #3

Here is a solution that will almost certainly work for all OS/platforms that have prebuilt modules in that repo.

See https://github.com/pfitzseb/node-pty-prebuilt/releases choose a platform that matches your OS, I recommend you stick to stable builds only around 0.8.1 at this time. scan the hell out of these with antivirus or audit the code.

Close Atom, Download the asset for your platform, replace the contents of Atom/packages/platformio-ide-terminal/node-pty-prebuilt etc etc with the downloaded bits from there.

Open Atom, if all worked platformio-ide-terminal should just work.

[atherdon]

have a same error. trying that latest fix/release.
But hope it will be released at normal way from repository maintainer

[rkdass]

Incase anyone is still struggling with getting platformio-atom-ide running on a mac, I was able to get it running on my MBP (v10.14.6) by downgrading Atom to (v1.28.2) using https://atom.en.uptodown.com/mac

I had to click on the little "bug" icon on the bottom right to rebuild platformio-atom-ide (I had disabled/uninstalled) for compatibility issues it when I was trying to get it to work on Atom (v.1.39.1), then rebuild Atom. Finally, re-install platformio-atom-ide and it's working again.

Aside: I was worried that it by downgrading Atom it would wipe all my settings preferences but thankfully it didn't. Hope this helps!

[diversitude]

I've managed to install the package on linux by following these steps:
1- Downloading the latest release from the platformio repo.
2- Extract the release and run npm install (ensure you have npm gyp and npm make installed gloablly).
3- Download the latest node pty prebuilt release and replace the build folder in /node_modules/node-pty-prebuilt.
4- Copy the entire platformio folder to your atom packages folder.

[the-j0k3r]

@rkdass see #707 (comment) that was for macOS

also downgrade to 1.28.2, you meant 1.38.2, but thats not really a solution. you can try also #707 (comment) re: https://github.com/pfitzseb/node-pty-prebuilt/releases/download/v0.8.1-prebuilt3/node-pty-prebuilt-v0.8.1-prebuilt3-electron-v69-darwin-x64.tar.gz

[tarainfluxd]

Rebuilding the packages (as offered in Atom after clicking the bug icon) worked for me, thanks!

[ivankravets]

There is blocker issue https://github.com/daviwil/node-pty-prebuilt

I'm not sure that @daviwil will fix it soon. Please switch to PlatformIO IDE for VSCode which has a built-in terminal.

Is it time to change the editor

Mac OS/OSX Fix

For me, it was a problem with python using version 3, which was causing node-gyp intall to fail.

I managed to install this package on the latest version of Atom (v1.39.1) on Mac OS using the following steps:

1. Edit /Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/apm/bin/python-interceptor.sh

   Change line 37 from exec python "${ARGS[@]}" to exec python2 "${ARGS[@]}" and line 40 from exec python "$@" to exec python2 "$@"

2. apm install platformio-ide-terminal should now succeed

3. When I opened Atom, I had to rebuild the package

4. You might want to reverse the edits in python-interceptor.sh

Hope this helps someone

[utotch]

the above solution did not work for me.
In my env on Mac, atom always checks compatibility and fail even though I edited to embed python2.7.

This bug really suffers me and I waste a long time today. I hope this will be solved as fast as possible...

[utotch]

This solution works for me on Mac.

• turn off the setting of auto-upgrade on Atom
• downgrade Atom to 1.38.2 https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/tag/v1.38.2
• install a specific version of julia-client and platform-ide-terminal

> apm install [email protected]
> apm install [email protected]

[the-j0k3r]

@utotch Its your choice of course to stay with Atom 1.38.2 but platformio-ide-terminal should be version 2.9.1.

[utotch]

Because the combination above is the only way to start up Atom successfully in my environment.

Of course I wanted to use the recent version of Atom and plugins as far as possible.
I tried possible combinations but failed.

I was really tired to solve this problem because I couldn’t work almost a whole day and waist a time. sad.

[the-j0k3r]

OK once @ivankravets merges #753 and makes a release we can all go back to work without disruptions.

If that doesnt work for everyone else, I have no other solution at this time.

Redirect issues related to node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch to https://github.com/oznu/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch/issues

[ivankravets]

Please upgrade to https://github.com/platformio/platformio-atom-ide-terminal/releases/tag/v2.9.2

[T-vK]

For me this was still an issue by default. I had to click the bug button on the very bottom of the atom window:

and then click the Rebuild Packages button:

Then click the Reload Atom button:

Then it finally works and the buttons show up:

My system:

• Using Linux (Fedora 31 x64)
• Fresh install of Atom (v1.52.0) (Using the officially provided rpm)
• Telemetry disabled
• github package disabled (because it prevented be from opening any files)
• Latest platformio-ide-terminal (v2.10.0) installed and enabled
