No files in folder list

[ZiTAL]

When i open a folder in debian 64bit, there is no files in folder list
build: sprint 30 experimental build 0.30.0-9116 (On branch master,master 60dc6b7)

[peterflynn]

@ZiTAL If you choose Debug > Show Developer Tools and look in the Console view, do you see any error messages?

[ZiTAL]

when i choose "debug > show developer tools" in linux console log:
Error!! No such file or directory

[peterflynn]

@ZiTAL I'm a little confused by that message... can you provide a screenshot? Also -- if there's an arrow icon next to the error message, can you click it to expand & show the full stack trace?

[ZiTAL]

well, i updated to last version: sprint 31 experimental build 0.31.0-9569 (On branch sprint-31-hotfix,sprint-31-hotfix dd28c6a)

and i have this issue:
#5326

[peterflynn]

@ZiTAL You can manually access the developer tools by going to http://localhost:9234 and then clicking the link for the Brackets window. That should get you unblocked for the info we need here.

We'll certainly investigate #5326 too though.

[ZiTAL]

"then clicking the link for the Brackets window" what link?

[peterflynn]

@ZiTAL You should see something like this when you go to http://localhost:9234 while Brackets is running:

If you're seeing something different, please provide a screenshot.

[ZiTAL]

i can't choose a file, because the folder is empty, anyway:

[peterflynn]

It shouldn't matter that there's no file in Brackets -- the dev tools page should have a link with whatever's currently in the Brackets titlebar (so in this case, just "Brackets"). The fact that you can successfully get to the "Inspectable WebContents" page means there's no local firewall blocking the localhost port (a problem on some machines in the past)... so I'm baffled as to why the page loads but is missing any link. Seems like a potential CEF or Chromium Linux bug...

[peterflynn]

Actually @ZiTAL if you open Chrome's built-in developer tools on that "Inspectable WebContents" page, do you see any errors in the console there? If the dev tools themselves are crashing, the nature of the error could give us a clue. (It looks like you actually have the Chrome dev tools open at the bottom of your screenshot there, but the content is cut off).

[peterflynn]

Also seems possible you're missing some of the side files that Chromium expects to find next to the brackets executable... like cef.pak, devtools_resources.pak, or locales/. Can you confirm those three are all present? Also, did you build Brackets / brackets-shell yourself, or did you download the official build? (And if so, from where?)

One more question -- out of curiosity, what locale is your OS set to? (We've seen CEF problems in the past with locales that weren't falling back to something it knew about).

[ZiTAL]

i'm retarded i open it with firefox :D

showing console tag

linux console:

iban@deb-iban:~$ brackets

i donwloaded brackets from: http://download.brackets.io/

[peterflynn]

Heh, that explains it :-)

Interesting that there are no errors in the logs though. Are there any unusual permissions with this folder? Does it happen for all folders, or just some?

Try pasting this snippet in the console and see what the result is:

require("project/ProjectManager").getProjectRoot().createReader().readEntries(
    function(result) { console.log("Success!", result); },
    function (err, result) { console.error("Failure!", err, result); }
)

Or alternatively you could put two breakpoints inside the two equivalent callbacks in ProjectManager._treeDataProvider() and see what happens there.

[ZiTAL]

it occurs with all folders.

)

Reviewed. Marking medium priority since there's only one report of this currently.

[peterflynn]

Could it be a permissions / user account problem? What owner & group do you see if you do ls -l inside one of these folders, vs. what user are the two Brackets processes running as if you do top or something similar?

[peterflynn]

It does look like we could be swallowing some error cases here -- the docs for readdir() say "It returns NULL on reaching the end of the directory stream or if an error occurred," but it looks like our code in appshell_extensions_gtk.cpp simply assumes NULL means end of directory. It sounds like we should be checking errno after exiting the while loop.

That won't fix the problem here of course, but it will give us an actual error message to go on :-)

@JeffryBooher Can I assign this to you since @jasonsanjose is out? Looks like you're second-in-command for that file :-) (or @pritambaral & others, feel free to jump in here too!)

[JeffryBooher]

@peterflynn Yep, I'll take it.

[ingorichter]

@ZiTAL Any news on this issue? Have you tried the Sprint 32 build? Would be good to hear if this build resolves this issue or if you encounter still the same behavior. Thanks.

[peterflynn]

Any chance this is on an SSHFS file system? (Bug #5544)

[JeffryBooher]

@ZiTAL can you try opening the brackets sample project? It looks like you're opening a personal project (which should work) but want to rule out other general FS interop issues first.

[ZiTAL]

There is no problem with "/opt" folder or its subfolder like "/opt/brackets/samples/"
, but if i change to other folder like:

/home/projects

there is no file/folder list, and the permissions are the same: drwxr-xr-x

if i change the permissions to project folder 777 still doesn't work

[krisanalfa]

I also have a same problem with Arch Linux x86_64.
I download this version (sprint 33 experimental build 0.33.0-0) via AUR.
The folder list is still empty.

[RaymondLim]

Reassign it to myself as I have a fix. Nominating for sprint 34.

[peterflynn]

@RaymondLim Is this the same issue as #5544 (SSHFS), or did you identify a different cause here?

[RaymondLim]

@peterflynn #5544 (SSHFS) can be the same issue if it is only on Linux.

[ghost]

same issue still no fix ;(

[i0x915]

For anyone interested, i've had this issues since 1.11 and now on 1.13.
The fix for me was to go to Debug -> Switch Language -> English (US) as outlined in the post here
#9883

For the sake of helping someone in the future who runs into this issue. Simply go to Debug-->Switch Language. change from system default to the language of interest and the issue should be resolved.

[pasem50]

I had same issue but solution provided by @i0x915 did the magic for me

[theFallen78]

@i0x915 thank you

[Veightor]

@i0x915 works thanks!

[i0x915]

Glad that it helped, hopefully one day they will fix this.
