hyper.is broken after manually adding plugins

Issue

I tried copying and pasting a friends plugin set up my hyper preferences file.

Following this, unfortunately, I managed to break hyper - and this is all I see when opening now:

After removing from the Applications directory, and re-installing multiple times from the .dmg file, I am stuck in the same broken state as before.

• OS version and name: macOS Sierra 10.12.5
• Hyper.app version: 1.3.3

What is the content of the ~/.hyper.js? I'm not sure that when you un-install hyper it removes it. If the problem indeed comes from it, then it would explain why re-installing was useless.

I can confirm this happens on Windows as well. I am running Windows 10 and have the same issue, Hyper is stuck in a broken state even after multiple re-installs. I have even gone in and removed every file and folder relating to Hyper I can find after uninstalling but everything is still broken.

Same problem here (windows 10). Adding plugin with hpm or adding it in the pluginarray in my .hyper.js is not installing anything. Only after removing the .package-lock.json and doing a separate npm i does the trick.

Think this has something to do with the lastest npm version 5.0.3. I think (but correct me if I am wrong) it nows installs from the package-lock file by default. A temporary fix for me was to:

• Add the plugins to you're .hyper.js file
• Navigate to the .hyper_plugins folder
• Remove package-lock.json and node_modules
• Open up the terminal
• cd into the .hyper-plugins folder
• run npm i

This will build a new package-lock.json file and creates the node_modules directory with the right packages for the plugins to run.

I used a theme called hyper-material-theme and met the same problem.

I removed this theme, and restart it. Hyper worked correctly.

I think there are some bug in your extensions.

What extensions did you install?

+1 @IronLu233. I haven't tested hyper-material-theme, but indeed, a buggy theme will prevent the hyper window from showing up (learned this the hard way while creating mine 😄)

Removing the hyper-material-theme from .hyper.js as @IronLu233 suggested has fixed my issue.

I thought that by uninstalling hyper, the configuration file from my previous set-up would also have been removed.

Thank you all for the great responses! Much appreciated.
