[solved] Failed to activate the linter-gcc package

[Dynamic-Gravity]

The error I received was:

Arguments to CompositeDisposable.add must have a .dispose() method

My GCC version:

[luke@Venus 310-intermediate]$ gcc --version

What I tried:

What would be the next step if uninstalling/reinstalling the linter and linter-gcc packages doesn't work?

EDIT: What it looks like with other people's comments, the lasted update broke something.

@mpcmarques Did you just do an update too?

@arthur29498 I'm on arch as well.

[phrockell]

Same on Linux Mint 18, with a cleanly installed Atom IDE.

[Arcanemagus]

Can any of you point to a recent change that would have triggered this?

Did the latest linter update 4 hours ago break this? You can force install the older version to check with apm install linter@2.1.2.

[Dynamic-Gravity]

@Arcanemagus, yes I believe that is what broke this. As I was using Atom this morning, then noticed an update with that package, after which this error occurred.

[steelbrain]

Sorry everyone, you can expect a bugfix release in a few minutes, we (base linter team) messed up 🙇 steelbrain/linter#1434

[Dynamic-Gravity]

@steelbrain thanks for the update!

[steelbrain]

Sorry again for the trouble everyone, Linter v2.1.4 is out with the fix

[Dynamic-Gravity]

@steelbrain thank you, linter-gcc is working again.

[corbin-r]

Awesome! Thanks @steelbrain and co. Will re-download now.

EDIT Can confirm it now works on macOS Sierra 10.12.4

[softsmyth]

looks good now... thanks!
