Hello!
A couple of days ago my Emmet Plugin stopped working.
This might not seem like a big deal, but I love Emmet, and so do many of my web-dev cohorts.
I traced the error down to explicit blacklisting of this plugin in TextMate.
https://github.com/textmate/textmate/commit/4b19e404403c0d237578ecac583796d9... https://github.com/textmate/textmate/commit/81d2586ffcfc9385d9bb362febda7c7e...
This blacklisting is intentional, and rational. Apparently users have had the plugin installed and its been crashing for years. I’m not sure if this is because its crashing in use, or if its because the plugin was installed, but doesn’t support the OS and therefore it crashes in the background without issue, or if there are other crashes.
What I do know is that the plugin isn’t really being updated, its sort of frozen in time, but it does work if you use @pingjiang’s custom built binary from https://github.com/emmetio/Emmet.tmplugin/issues/10. @pingjiang Had gone in and updated the plugin, I’m not exactly sure what was required for him to do, but it was at least partially just a recompilation on a newer machine (updating the release targets).
Is there any way to know if this custom built plugin is causing crash reports, or is it just the original?
Given that it takes some effort to get a working version, I totally get if this plugin remains blacklisted *but *I’d like to see a path to Emmet becoming easy to get working on TextMate sometime soon.
What I’ve discovered so far is that the blacklisting uses "contains" rather than "equals" so updating the Bundle identifier to 'io.emmet.EmmetTextmate2' was not enough as it still contained the original "io.emmet.EmmetTextmate" so in my new bundle i’m using "io.emmet.EmmetTM2" instead. Could this be changed to equals?
My modified plugin is available here;
https://github.com/loadedsith/emmet-objc/releases/tag/v10.11.1 or more directly https://github.com/loadedsith/emmet-objc/releases/download/v10.11.1/Emmet.tm...
My change; https://github.com/loadedsith/emmet-objc/commit/4791f1f6b5f5bc286754fed5f9b5...
And the original supporting changes; https://github.com/pingjiang/emmet-objc/commit/d58f30ce40f2a7c07f3af0d4e4b82...
Thanks,
