Package not activating automatically

[mradzinski]

On the latest stable Atom version to date (1.2.4) The following lines are preventing the package to auto-activate itself upon start.

unless atom.project.getRepositories().length
    @disp.setDisposable rx.Disposable.empty
    return

Removing/Commenting those lines fixes the issue.

This is by-desgn, this code stops the package from loading if the project isn't backed by a Git repo, since saving automatically might actually result in users losing data

[mradzinski]

Well, actually the project I tried was a Git repo. I think there might be somehow of a racing condition. I tried debugging that part of the code through console logs and sometimes I see the project is recognised as a Git one and sometimes it's not.

Oh, in that case that's deffo a bug, wonder if this is an ordering issue in package activation

[mradzinski]

Yep, I do think it's an ordering issue. I'll try get more proof and in such case I'll report it on the Atom repo since this kind of issues should be handled by them (I don't think you are able to control the packaging activation order).
