A symlink at /usr/local/bin/racer that points to wherever your racer binary is does not work.

Hmm, I was wondering why everything appeared to work from the command line but not in Atom. I was also wondering why I remember it working before whatever I was doing now. Apparently, I had copied the binary, not a symlink in this newer installation I've done.

Anyway, a symlink at /usr/local/bin/racer that points to wherever the racer binary may be placed after compilation doesn't appear to work. My coffeescript skills are non-existent but I bet it has something to do with this.

Hello @nelsonjchen,
Indeed we didn't assume the path provided would link to a symbolic one.

The change is in fact to be done the line above the one you cite
the

stats = fs.lstatSync(conf_bin);

should become:

stats = fs.statSync(conf_bin);

to stat the file that the symlink refers to instead of stat-ing the link itself.

I'll correct this tonight.

Great! Thank you.
