Packaged version 0.1.2 is malformed

[busykai]

Hi, it seems that version 0.1.2 was zipped incorrectly, it has structure

<root>.zip/
    _MACOSX/
    brackets_bower_dist/
        main.js

as a consequence Brackets cannot find the entry point.

That should be fine - it works for me when I install it into Brackets (the extension loader should ignore the __MACOSX folder and find the main.js file in the subfolder).

However, it's possible that (if you went through the "Update" workflow to get the new version) you ran into a Brackets issue that I noticed when upgrading the extension. When you click Update, exit Extension Manager and choose "Update Extensions and Quit", Brackets can hang for a little while trying to update this specific extension (because it has a lot of node modules in it). If you did something like force quit at that point (or do what I did and try to re-enter the Extension Manager dialog to re-update the extension :)), it can corrupt the installation of the extension. In that case, just removing and reinstalling the extension should fix the problem. I filed this as adobe/brackets#6257.

Let me know if you're seeing something else.

I even can't update the bower extension in Brackets because I get the following error message

Maybe this is related?

@Den-dp This is what I've been seeing. Only on bower extension, others work. Downloading and copying it manually works. I assumed it was malformed. Let me look into it and understand what exactly is going on...

Weird. Maybe this is the same as adobe/brackets#4609. Are you both on Windows? I've seen issues where I've zipped the file on the Mac (using Finder) and it's caused problems, but I thought the only issue there was the __MACOSX folder, which we should be explicitly ignoring. But maybe there's some other problem with Finder-created ZIPs.

I'll try re-zipping from the command line and see if that fixes things.

I just uploaded a new ZIP that was created from the command line. Please try again and let me know if it works for you. (Also, note that quitting Brackets after updating will take a significant amount of time, as mentioned above.)

@njx , thanks! This one installs and updates fine. I'm on windows and I do have a copy of the 0.1.2 version. I'll try to get to the bottom of this. All flavors of unzip I have installed on the machine opened the archive just fine.

Nice! Build 0.1.3 works perfectly for me. Error message no longer appears. (Windows 7, x64)

Thanks @busykai - let us know what you find. Closing.

BTW, I filed adobe/brackets#6267 on this.
