refresh cscope-db reports Error: Unable to refresh cscope database

[davy79]

Unfortunately the refresh-db command reports Error: Unable to refresh cscope database.

Running ubuntu 14.04 with cscope running from the command line.
Atom 1.2.4

Is there any other debug info I can provide?

If this fails, some object would have been printed in the console.
Example:
Object {success: false, message: "At /home/amitabh/src/mysql-router: find: paths mus…arch|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]↵"}
The attribute: message would contain the reason why it failed. Can you paste that here?

hmmm, I got this...

Please check the new release and let me know if the same problem persists. Honestly I have no idea why it was working for me even though the variable fs was not declared.

Verified!

Everything works fine now!

It's a common problem that something works on our own machine 😄
most common response from the dev after receiving a bug report: "works for me"

At work we always test on a clean virtual machine before release to avoid such common issue.

Thanks!
