Error on extension installation.

[mahdiar]

Hi
When I click to inastall any extension it sgows the following error :
cannot connect to server error

@mahdiar - is it possible that you have a firewall that blocks outgoing HTTP access from certain programs? (It's odd that you would see the list of available extensions but not be able to install one, though.)

One thing that would help us diagnose this is if you choose Debug > Show Developer Tools, then try to install an extension. Then, in Chrome (where the developer tools appear), see if there are any errors (lines in red) in the Console tab.

Medium priority to @dangoor to follow up.

@mahdiar Do you use a proxy? As far as I know, there was an issue some time ago where this error appeared while a proxy was used.

I'm behind a proxy and I'm seeing this situation as well. I believe what happens is CEF picks up system proxy configuration, but since the installation process itself happens on node, it fails due to the proxy.

I check the console tab and there is the error :
[Extension] Error -- could not read native directory: /home/mahdiar/.config/Brackets/extensions/user ExtensionLoader.js:261
(anonymous function)

@mahdiar Can you check that that directory exists? Are the permissions set reasonably?

I believe this is a dupe of #6280 which I believe has just been fixed.
