Installation error

[KELiON]

When I try to install this plugin I see this error:

But I see disabled plugin in plugins list. When I try to enable it with opened developer tools I see this in console:

https://gist.github.com/KELiON/6adcfba37b1a91ecc96b

OsX 10.11.1
Nylas N1 0.4.14-53cd69b

[1vank1n]

Same error. @KELiON, did you find desicion?

[joelostblom]

Same error, the folder is added to ./nylas/packages, but the plugin fails to install. This is on Linux (kernel 4.4.5-1) with Nylas 0.4.14-53cd69b.

[1vank1n]

I found the answer. You need to install Atom.

[KELiON]

@1vank1n it is installed on my machine

[1vank1n]

@KELiON, strangely... after install Atom and relaunch Nylas problem was solved.

[angusfretwell]

I have Atom installed (not sure why this is a requirement), and am also experiencing this issue.

[angusfretwell]

Running apm install from the plugin directory manually (~/.nylas/packages/N1-Markdown-Composer) works fine; after that the plugin functions as expected.

[KELiON]

@angusfretwell thanks, it works for me! But now something is broken in styles :(

[angusfretwell]

@KELiON Make sure the plugin directory is called exactly N1-Markdown-Composer (i.e. not N1-Markdown-Composer-master if you downloaded it as a zip from GitHub), and then restart the app.

[KELiON]

Finally!

[angusfretwell]

Woohoo!

I think you should re-open this ticket, as I think the failed apm install you initially reported is a bug (maybe it's a problem with Nylas rather than this plugin), and it should be investigated.

[devonzuegel]

I had the same issues. Renaming the directory from N1-Markdown-Composer-master to N1-Markdown-Composer and running apm directly in the directory worked for me.

[angusfretwell]

I have a suspicion that the directory being named N1-Markdown-Composer-master might have caused the initial apm install issue.

[KELiON]

@angusfretwell nope, I just tried to uninstall, and install from N1-Markdown-Composer folder and it is failded

[1vank1n]

I just installed. Short instruction:

1. Download zip
2. Unpack
3. Rename folder to N1-Markdown-Composer
4. Move unpacked folder to ~/.nylas/packages/
5. Check that Nylas app closed
6. In terminal cd ~/.nylas/packages/N1-Markdown-Composer
7. apm install
8. wait... Done!

Hi all, indeed the installation problem is due to the fact that apm does not currently support installing dependencies from Github atom/apm#355

The instructions provided by @1vank1n should be good as a workaround, I'm going to update the readme to include them.

Thanks! and sorry for the trouble

[jcreamer898]

After following the steps above, when I re-opened Nylas, I was unable to type a message at all...

[plainclothes]

I'm getting the same problem. When I install the package manually from console, it appears to succeed. When I launch N1, the plug-in is disabled. At that point, composing works as expected. Once I enable Markdown, the message area in the composer is just gone. Tabbing from the 'subject' field just cycles back to the recips. There is no message field.

[fobbyal]

Is this suppose to work for windows? I am having similar problems. Although i suspect it might be a apm issue. The dependency modules are stil installed in deeply nested folders that are not supported under the windows operating system (path too long). NPM fixed this issue after version 3. I am not sure if there is a updated apm that does things differently.

[jstejada]

Hi everyone, I've updated the plugin in 4884152 to work correclty with the latest N1 version. Let me know if you're still running into issues

cc @jcreamer898

[jcreamer898]

So, now the editor works, however, no markdown plugin loads probably because of...

[devonzuegel]

I made some progress by running:

$ npm install underscore -d
// output
$ npm install react -d
// output
$ npm install react-dom -d
// output

Then I checked and unchecked the plugin toggle in Preferences/Plugins/Installed Plugins.

I'm no longer receiving those "Failed to activate *" messages, but now I'm getting:

[MagisDing]

Followed the detailed instructions by @1vank1n ,still not working. I got the prompt"installing modules successful" after running "apm install", but couldn't got the markdown interface.
OS: mac OS 10.11.4
Nylas: Version 0.4.33-e8f137e (0.4.33-e8f137e)

[youlu-cn]

@devonzuegel is it working right now? Seems that I have the same issue with you.

[devonzuegel]

@youlu-cn Nope, I unfortunately couldn't get it to work.

[yuphone]

I followed the approach of @1vank1n , it showed "Installing modules done", but there's no markdown in mail window at all. I hope more update on it.
Thanks guys!

OS: Windows 10

[savior1980]

I am in the same point as @devonzuegel tried install underscore and react but finally the plugin fails to load in composer window. OS: Mac OS X 10.11.5 Nylas: Versión 0.4.40-85cf726 (0.4.40-85cf726)

And 7 more exceptions similar to the ones already reported in this thread

[jstejada]

hi all! I've pushed an update that should resolve all dependency issues and work correctly with the latest N1 version. More details here: 6a0d325

Let me know if you continue having issues. Thanks for your patience! cc @devonzuegel , @jcreamer898, @savior1980, @MagisDing , @youlu-cn, @yuphone
