Hyper: Receive "Error updating plugins." every time I open Hyper

[ryndshn]

I receive the following error every time I open Hyper. This has happened since install.

macOS 10.12
Hyper v1.2.1

I believe this is being tracked here: https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/1513

and its being tracked here, too : https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/312
this is a mayor bug, I give up on hyper until this is solved.

@indexofrefraction #312 is not the same as #1513

The commit https://github.com/zeit/hyper/commit/993b8f6833bffe75032e9f161fd17bed0c98ed73 that introduced the bug mentioned in #1513 is only 1 months old and 5 months after #312

I fixed the #1513 issue 6 days ago and it's been merged https://github.com/zeit/hyper/pull/1516. All we're waiting for is a release ✌️

@henrikdahl Regarding #312 - is there any clue about the source of that bug?

I just did some tests on my machine (macOS):

• Not setting shell, no nvm-installed node, no system node : "Error updating plugins"
• Not setting shell, with nvm-installed node, no system node : "Error updating plugins"
• Setting shell, no nvm-installed node, no system node : "Cannot find npm"
• Setting shell, with nvm-installed node, no system node : Plugins updated successfully

So... at least on macOS, with the latest version of Hyper, the lack of a system node will not lead to the original error reported in #312. Maybe it's a Windows-specific issue?

Closing as a duplicate of #1513. This will be fixed in an upcoming release of Hyper.
