New versions not working on Linux

[oraculus]

Brackets 1.2
Kubuntu 14.04

the new versions 2.x are not working on linux, the error given is "Max connection attempts reached"
I just did a very simple demo file, demo.scss

$demo:1px;
.demo{width: $demo;}

with brackets-sass.1.0.0-67 compiles good into demo.css, with no errors
with brackets-sass.2.x gives "Max connection attempts reached" and is not compiled

[aiphee]

I can confirm, version 1.0.0-67 works just fine while the new one does not.

[Druggist]

Same for me on Windows everything works fine but when I installed new version on Ubuntu 14.10 x64 compiler stopped working with this error

[mevir]

Issue confirmed on UbuntuGnome 14.10 (1.0.0-67 works fine, 2.x gives "Max connection attempts reached")

[ldiaz]

Same here in xubuntu 14.04 2.x gives "Max connection attempts reached"), the weird thing is that a popup window shows and error message and the tittle is associate to the brackets-git extension as described here
brackets-userland/brackets-git#410

But the main error is from the bracked-sass extension.

Hope a fix appear soon.

Hi again folks, good news I made it work. I decided to check the error and finally using some console.log messages found this error message:

Error: /home/leonardo/.config/Brackets/extensions/user/jasonsanjose.brackets-sass/node/2.0.1/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-ia32-node-0.10/binding.node: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)

with that info was easy to notice the provided version of the binding.node was not working with my linux arch. So the solution was to build my own version, the provided one is build for 32bits, I compiled my own version for 32bits and it didn't work either, I suppose in the mac somehow works, but in linux it doesn't. So a normal build worked fine.

First I got the brackets-sass sources:

git clone [email protected]:jasonsanjose/brackets-sass.git

go to the node-sass folder:

cd brackets-sass/node/2.0.1/node_modules/node-sass/

Install required tools:

npm install
npm install -g node-gyp
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib

build the bindind.node

node-gyp rebuild
#It has to end with an OK result, if any error cause of some missing header install 
#sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386
#and try again

you end up having a file binding.node file in build/Release/ folder
Copy this file to the extension and close/open brackets (DONT only F5)

cp build/Release/binding.node ~/.config/Brackets/extensions/user/jasonsanjose.brackets-sass/node/2.0.1/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-ia32-node-0.10/binding.node

[Druggist]

Awesome, it's finally working. Thanks for the solution Idlaz.

[nicolo-ribaudo]

@ldiaz Can you write this solution in the wiki?

[jasonsanjose]

Yikes. Thanks @ldiaz. The right fix here is to make sure the node-sass binaries from https://github.com/sass/node-sass-binaries are up to date. In short, that usually means upgrading node-sass. I see the latest is 3.0.0.

If anyone is interested in taking on this work sooner than later, please let me know. Otherwise it may have to wait a few weeks until my time frees up.

[ldiaz]

@nicolo-ribaudo sure I can do it. Do you think a new page called troubleshooting it's fine to start adding this kind of things?

[ldiaz]

@jasonsanjose I'd like to help you with that, but I would need some sort of guide about it.

[jasonsanjose]

@ldiaz Just updated https://github.com/jasonsanjose/brackets-sass/blob/master/node/2.0.1/README.md.

[Edit: Got it working – see below]

Hi everyone,

I'm facing the same error as described in #105 – brackets sass unfortunately breaks my whole brackets by crashing node.js

I tried the fix suggested by @ldiaz, but I don't get very far, as npm install fails:

$ git clone https://github.com/jasonsanjose/brackets-sass.git

$ sudo apt-get install g++-multilib
...
$ node-gyp rebuild
$ ls -a
.  ..  bin  binding.gyp  lib  LICENSE  node_modules  package.json  README.md  scripts  src  vendor

As you can see, no build directory is created.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to proceed? Can this issue be fixed in the package itself?

System info:

Ubuntu 15.04

Brackets Release 1.4 Experimenteller Build 1.4.0-16380 (release 273804eb3)

[jGleitz]

I finally got the plugin working for me on Ubuntu 15.04

Here is what I did: (Even after I got @ldiaz' procedure working, it did not fix the issues for me. )

Dependencies

I had everything needed available, and I'm not sure which exact packages are needed. You'll definetly need:

• npm (sudo apt-get install npm)
• node-gyp (sudo npm install -g node-gyp)
• git (sudo apt-get install git)
• make (sudo apt-get install build-essential)
• Obviously, brackets-sass installed in your Brackets installation

You'll most likely need:

• g++ (sudo apt-get install g++-multilib)
• python (sudo apt-get install python)

Close Brackets

You have to close Brackets, as some files cannot be written otherwise.

Make node available

Most of the code expects the terminal command node to point to node js. That is not the case on current ubuntu. I went for the most dirty way (You will most likely want something nicer!):

sudo rm /usr/sbin/node # Only needed if you have ax25-node installed
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
source ~/.bashrc

Clone the repository, copy needed files to extension folder

I built right in the extension folder and got the needed files from the repository:

git clone https://github.com/jasonsanjose/brackets-sass.git /tmp/bracketssass
cp -R /tmp/bracketssass/node/2.0.3/node_modules/node-sass  ~/.config/Brackets/extensions/user/jasonsanjose.brackets-sass/node/2.0.3/node_modules/
cd ~/.config/Brackets/extensions/user/jasonsanjose.brackets-sass/node/2.0.3/node_modules/node-sass
sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` .

Edit binding.gyp

binding.gyp references libsass_ext which raises and error – but it's not needed. Therfore we edit the file:

cp binding.gyp binding.old.gyp
vim binding.gyp #Use your editor

Now remove all blocks related to libsass_ext (in my case, lines 26 to 56) and add

'dependencies': [
  'src/libsass.gyp:libsass',
],

to the binding file. (In my case, I added these lines after line 22). My binding.gyp looked like this after the changes.

Build

Now we can finally build:

npm install
node-gyp rebuild

Go!

Now just restart Brackets and everything should work.

[Ch4ni]

Thanks @jGleitz. I followed your steps (mostly), but found that there were a few superflous instructions. Cloning the repository somewhere in ~ (read: anywhere in ~. I put mine in ~/Code/brackets-sass) negates the need to run chown after copying the node-sass directory. In addition, there appears to be no need to run source ~/.bashrc.

[akuzia]

Im kind of new to node. Tried to rebuild and get stuck:

"gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: "make" failed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:276:23) gyp ERR! stack at emitTwo (events.js:87:13) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:172:7) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:200:12) gyp ERR!

[gverm]

@trahibidadido Sorry for the late response, is this still an issue? I'll be testing Linux compatibility tomorrow. I know it is broken, but I will do my best to try and fix it ASAP and roll out another update.

[akuzia]

@brainzyy I've switched to Atom since that moment, if I'll have some spare time I will test dev branch, if it will be available

[gverm]

@trahibidadido You don't have to do anything with Github, I pushed an update to the Brackets Extension Repo. So just update/install the plugin from inside Brackets.

[akuzia]

@brainzyy maybe I've forgot how to use it, but I get no errors, same s no finl css compilation. node v 4.2.6

[akuzia]

I've double checked my pref. Everything should be ok, but...
`
"sass.compass": false,

"sass.compiler": "libsass",

"sass.enabled": true,

"sass.options": {

	"_eventHandlers": {

		"change": []

	},

	"type": "object"

},

"sass.timeout": -1,`

[gverm]

@trahibidadido I have no clue about that... I tested on Ubuntu, just installed brackets and installed the plugin. Installing a custom node version could pollute everything. because I updated the version of node shipped with the plugin to a version that works with most Linux distros.
