Just single symbol of cursor and I can't type anything.

[piaoyidage]

me too.

[ivankravets]

What is your OS?

[piaoyidage]

OS: win7 64
when I tried terminal-plus, also the same problem.

[thacoon]

I also have the same issue, also same issue with terminal-plus
I am running Arch Linux (64-bit, linux 4.7-1) and I am running Atom 1.9.8.
I have tried to rebuild the package: apm rebuild platform-atom-Ide-terminal and I also tried to reinstall node modules:

cd ~/.atom/packages/platformio-ide-terminal
rm -r node_modules/
npm install

These two were pointed out in a terminal-plus issue both things worked for a few people.

One error I get is:

Same for me on archlinux. I also tried this package because terminal-plus was not working, but no luck here either.

[ivankravets]

Please take a look at Know Issues here http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/atom.html#arch-linux-platformio-ide-terminal-issue

[cars10]

This has nothing to do with the terminal plugin, and it does not solve the issue.

[ivankravets]

Have you repeated all steps from the article above? Also, do you use Atom from Arch Linux package registry?

[cars10]

I tried to install the platformio package and reproduced the steps in the article - still no luck. Also the error messages have nothing to do with platformio, and https://github.com/jeremyramin/terminal-plus faces the same errors right now. ( #316, #321, #319, #317, ...)

[ivankravets]

[jashuang1130]

I'm having the same issue also.
I'm currently using Atom ver. 1.9.9 and terminal-plus 0.14.5. I've installed npm-gyp and going into command prompt to change to "Use legacy console" and still encountering the same issue.

[ivankravets]

@jashuang1130 what is your OS?

[sidpagariya]

+1

[sidpagariya]

Having problems on macOS Sierra 10.12

[eazar001]

Yea, I can confirm that 2.2.0 does this as well. Just a black screen with a blinking cursor.

[m13253]

Solved on ArchLinux with version 2.2.0.
My Atom was 1.9.9, official binary.

[wluisi]

Upgrading to version 2.2.0 fixed this issue for me.

I'm running Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6 and Atom 1.9.9

[sidpagariya]

Fixed for me too. macOS Sierra 10.12 Atom Dev

[cars10]

Arch with Atom 1.9.9 and platformio-atom-ide-terminal Version 2.2.0, still the same issue. Any hints?

[ivankravets]

@cars10 please check https://primalcortex.wordpress.com/2016/08/18/platformio/

[jashuang1130]

@ivankravets I'm currently using Windows 10

[ivankravets]

@jashuang1130 do you have special symbols in user name(system account)?

[jashuang1130]

@ivankravets no i don't have any special symbols in user name

[eazar001]

That is strange. I'm on Arch Linux, and this package only works when i install atom-editor-bin from the AUR. Otherwise, if I use the official version, the cursor blink problem will persist.

[m13253]

That is strange. I'm on Arch Linux, and this package only works when i install atom-editor-bin from the AUR. Otherwise, if I use the official version, the cursor blink problem will persist.

It is said that [community]/atom has many bugs. Unless you need to tweak the code, prefer [aur]/atom-editor-bin.

[NicholasDM]

I am using Arch Linux. As a few others have posted, the aur version solved my issue for this.

[ivankravets]

Should be fixed in the latest 2.2.1 version

[cars10]

Great! works for me now.

[eazar001]

This is strange, but I just noticed recently that the terminal no longer appears ... at all. I'm not sure when this occurred. Is there anyone on arch linux using atom-editor-bin that can confirm this?

[ppalladino]

I started to see the same issue above after I blew away my old manual install of node and brew installed nvm. I was able to resolve the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling platformio-ide-terminal via atom package installer in Settings.

[ivankravets]

@eazar001 @ppalladino try to install gcc and totally uninstall PlatformIO IDE Terminal using Atom UI. Then, install it again from Atom UI package manager. Does it work now?

[ppalladino]

@ivankravets Yes, thanks.

[ivankravets]

Could you share somewhere archived ~/.atom/packages/platformio-ide-terminal/node_modules/pty.js/build/Release/pty.node file? I'll add it to pre-compiled list. Thanks.

[ppalladino]

@ivankravets pty.node.zip

[ivankravets]

@ppalladino what is a version of Atom?

[ppalladino]

@ivankravets 1.12.2

[eazar001]

@ivankravets @ppalladino Thanks, that worked perfectly for me.

[ivankravets]

Fixed in the latest release. If you still have problems, please

1. Install gcc
2. Settings ⚙️ > Packages > Unisntall platofrmio-ide-terminal
3. Settings ⚙️ > Install > platformio-ide-terminal

[ChaplainsBud]

Atom opens my program on the top half of the screen, but I am not able to run it in the lower half using the terminal this package offers. I'm not aware of any reason why this is the case, especially since it worked once randomly. I have Windows 10 and am not sure why this is the case.

Would you happen to know of another package I could run as an alternative? I think it may not be suited to Windows 10.

[nbeuchat]

I have the same issue as the original post. I only see the single symbol of cursor and I can't type anything.
I have:

• Atom 1.16.0 x64
• platform-ide-terminal 2.5.0
• Windows 10 Pro, 64-bits

Any suggestion?
