error on save

[tomsteg]

when I save a php file with html code in it, I get an error:

Error: Cannot find module 'xregexp'

As reported by another user it sounds like apm is failing to install the dependencies properly, can you try uninstalling the plugin and then installing it again?

[tomsteg]

I uninstalled it and installed it again, but I get the same error.
I added a screenshot of my settings.

[Arcanemagus]

Do you have npm installed on your system? If so can you run npm list --depth=0 in the ~/.atom/packages/linter-phpmd folder?

The only reason it should ever be saying that is if it somehow has an out of date atom-linter installed, but got as far in updating it as removing that old dependency.

[tomsteg]

I get the following result:

linter-phpmd@1.4.1 /Users/thomassteglich/.atom/packages/linter-phpmd
├── atom-linter@4.3.4
└── atom-package-deps@3.0.7

[Arcanemagus]

Hmmm, looks like it's actually loading the module from the linter-php package, can you run npm list (without the depth restriction) in there?

[tomsteg]

Here is the list without restrictions (and error line at the bottom):

[Arcanemagus]

Run that in ~/.atom/packages/linter-php (not linter-phpmd) 😉

[tomsteg]

Oh, sorry. Here is the list from linter-php:

linter-php@1.1.7 /Users/thomassteglich/.atom/packages/linter-php

[tomsteg]

And here is the list from phpcs:

linter-phpcs@1.3.0 /Users/thomassteglich/.atom/packages/linter-phpcs

    └── concat-map@0.0.1

npm ERR! invalid: tmp@0.0.28 /Users/thomassteglich/.atom/packages/linter-phpcs/node_modules/atom-linter/node_modules/tmp

I disabled phpcs, restarted atom, and enabled phpcs again. The error has gone.

[Arcanemagus]

Looks like a release for linter-phpcs is in order 😉.

I wish Atom would fix the bug that causes issues like this 😦.
