Nylas-mail: N1 becomes unusable and throws error about empty keymap.json file when launching after new update

[osakkers]

When I launch Nylas N1, directly after installing the latest update, this happens:

Not sure what the issue is, but I can't use it.

What operating system are you using?
El Capitan

What version of N1 are you using?
Latest: 0.4.37 (5/15/16)
It was working great before the update.

Hey! Thanks for reporting this - do you have a ~/.nylas/keymap.json file? Can you post the contents of it? I haven't been able to reproduce this just yet, but it definitely shouldn't be hanging.

If the file exists, but is totally empty, can you try deleting it and see if that fixes the problem?

[michaelmarlow]

I did have a keymap.json file with empty contents. I deleted it, restarted N1, and the problem has been resolved.

Thanks - this should be fixed in 7d5ecacb14281bfbb39bfc1fa73c9191dc6ac3a6 and we'll ship a patch to fix it.

Hey! This has shipped in 0.4.37. If you were impacted by this problem, you can grab the update directly from Releases (https://github.com/nylas/N1/releases).

Hey folks, v0.4.40 has shipped with a fix and should be hitting the auto updater soon. Feel free to reopen or submit a new issue if you continue having trouble. Thanks!
