Can't open anything in Atom 1.63 #25704
Comments
This seems a major regression in 1.63 on at least macOS. This version can't open any file (the file open dialog is not displayed). Please pause automatic updates to this version, or release a new version with a fix.@sergiou87 |
Also pinging@sadick254,thank you for looking into this. |
Thanks for your reports@zurg3and@hwdsl2 @zurg3I can open folders and files and files within a project normally from Windows 10. Could you uninstall and then install it again and see if that fixes your issue? @hwdsl2We'll try to get a fix soon, however I've noticed it does work when you use the keyboard shortcut (Command+O) and only fails when using the File -> Open… menu (and only on macOS, it works fine on Windows) |
@sergiou87Thanks for the quick response. I can confirm that using the keyboard shortcut ( |
@sergiou87Thanks for your advice! But I decided to reinstall Atom 1.63 over the current installation. It didn't help, still have the same problem. So I tried to install version 1.60. This version works fine (as before). Maybe there are some breaking changes/compatibility issues in 1.63 when I update? This is the first time I had problems after updating Atom. So I'll stay on 1.60 for a while. |
Weird 😕 Have you checked if any of this helps? |
@sergiou87By the way, I couldn't open even "Settings" menu in 1.63. The only working way to open the settings menu was "Open Package Manager" menu item. |
@zurg3If you open the Developer Tools ( |
It only seems to affect the main window from session 1.60. Files open normally in new windows. |
@Trixlightdo you need to |

@zurg3I've tried doing stuff on 1.60 and then upgrading to 1.63 and it always works perfectly fine: the list of folders/repos and files opened remain, and I can open new files and other tabs like About/Settings normally. I can suggest renaming/moving your @hwdsl2We found the cause of that issue and will submit a fix shortly. It was a quite obscure bug 😅 |

I have no idea 😕 If you start recovering those changes incrementally (installing plugins one by one, changing your settings one by one) and you find that behavior again, we could pinpoint the problem to a specific setting/plugin 🤔 |
I only had 5 installed community packages: |
I'm comparing new and old |
@sergiou87Finally I figured out what was causing the problem! I decided to make a copy of my old My
|
@zurg3interesting! Maybe it's related to those projects? I think the last test would be removing one by one until Atom works (or add one by one until Atom breaks), and see which one is and if it has anything particular that could cause it 🤔 Once you find it, leave only that one and remove every other project. If Atom is broken with just that project, we have a "winner" and can investigate further 😄 |
@sergiou87I've tried several different combinations of added project paths. Every path was added at least once. Sometimes Atom worked properly, sometimes not. |
I have to do this every time I close Atom. |
@zurg3that sounds crazy 😐 Thank you for such a thorough investigation. However, as you can imagine, I expected to see a pattern there but nope, it seems just random 🤯 What happens if you open and close the app many times without removing a project? Does it sometimes work and sometimes not work? 🤔 @Trixlightcould you rename/move your |
@sergiou87I've opened and closed Atom 5 times with the same projects ( |
No. But at what cost?:) |
@sergiou87Could you consider a version that something's wrong with Atom's built-in Git/GitHub package in 1.63? Because when I created a new file in my Git-project (jekyll-blog), it wasn't shown in unstaged changes until I clicked "Fetch". Also switching active Git repository isn't work when I can't open anything in Atom. |
@Trixlightif you keep it as a backup, you can restore it later. I'm just interested in knowing whether the bug you see is related to your settings, or to something related to the setup of your machine 🤔 @zurg3I've considered that, yeah, but the last time the git library (dugite) was updated was 2 years ago:https://github /atom/atom/blame/3fb9d4dd116ed45aab41c02800c1156ad5c245c8/package-lock.json#L2856😕 |
I have the same problem, and what's worse, Atom isdiscontinuing its developmentas per now. Not only is it strange and bad that they leave it in a broken state, but I definitely don't get why it suddenly stops working without any updates. Opening a local file should not be reliant on an internet connection/service. |
