Hyper: Cannot update plugins

[Jamesking56]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

• Hyper.app version: 1.2.1 (1.2.1.1528)
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/Jamesking56/2836782ef1bd91403df720752cc9c730
• Relevant information from devtools _(CMD+ALT+I on Mac OS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_: N/A
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Was doing it before I installed plugins too.

Issue

When I run Hyper terminal, I get a notification:

Error updating plugins. Check `~/.hyper_plugins/npm-debug.log` for more information.

When I look for npm-debug.log it doesn't exist in that directory.

The same error also appears when clicking Plugins -> Update All Now

Duplicate #1513

@Jamesking56 I was having this exact same issue. As @henrikdahl mentioned in #1513, a temporary fix is to set your shell of choice in the config file. I set mine to shell: 'bash' and everything seems to be working fine now.

Set mine to shell: 'zsh' and all is well. Thanks!

@Jamesking56 the solution will be:

• Go to another terminal app, and type echo $0. Take note of the returned output.
• Go back to HyperTerm, ignoring all those errors. Open your file .hyper.js, scroll down to shell: '',, and replace it with what was outputted from above.
• Quit HyperTerm and Run it again, you should receive no more errors.

Please see Issue #312, I have #anchored the solution for you there.

Closing as a duplicate of #1513. The fix for this bug will be released very soon.
