Unable to install after update

[medianton]

UPDATE: See workarounds here #29 (comment)

After months of usage without any problem, I tried to update the extension via Brackets' extension manager, it failed, and now I'm unable to install the 1.0.4 version via manager nor manually.

Windows 8.1 user.

Thanks for reporting this @medianton. Have you restarted brackets yet?

If not, could you try looking at the console log Debug > Show Developer Tools and paste that into a comment here?

Same exact problem, I get error when adding the extension, and now I can't remove the extension either, it just says it will reload without removing. I tried both app manager inside brackets and from github, neither work, and I still can't remove it, just says error. I tried uninstalling and re-installing brackets, that didn't work either as I'm getting the exact same problem. I'm on windows 7, so it's apparently any windows version. I would really hate to switch to another code editor since I love brackets, but I need to have major site changes up by Monday and this is holding everything up.

--- actually I've been able to remove the extension if I uninstall brackets, re-install brackets, then remove the extension. But I still have no way to install the sass plugin without an error. (I check developer tools, not seeing any errors there, just whenever I try to install the plugin it throws up an error, and after that I can't remove it without uninstalling brackets completely)

Ok so here is a little update, I stopped using bourbon (auto-prefixer replaced bourbons functionality for me) but I never removed the path in brackets.json to bourbon, after I cleared the "includedPaths" it finally let me cleanly install the SASS plugin. So at least that solves half of the problem and I can stop panicking because at least I can compile.

So the only problem I have now is that Live Preview crashes instantly the second I type anything into a .scss file. Like I said I can still compile, so with saving/refreshing a bunch of times, at least I can get my project out by Monday.

(also I disabled the sass plugin to see if live preview would crash with just CSS and it doesn't, works fine, so it's something with the plugin itself)

There are 2 potential workarounds for this uninstall problem:

1. Restart Brackets (make sure you don't have a .sass/.scss file open at startup), then uninstall via the Extension Manager (thanks @rgfx)
2. Quit Brackets, then manually delete the extension at C:/Users/<your user name>/AppData/Roaming/Brackets/extensions/user/jasonsanjose.brackets-sass/

I'll close this bug and use #81 to track the actual fix. I'll make sure to update the README too.
