Error: Failed to activate the atom-ide-javascript package

[claytonrcarter]

Description

After upgrading to Atom 1.61-beta (which includes an upgrade from Electron 9->11), this package has stopped working.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Atom Beta w/ a JS file.

Reproduces how often:

Every time, so far.

Versions

Atom: 1.61.0-beta0 x64
Electron: 11.4.12

python 2.7.18
git 2.32.0

Additional Information

Although this package is failing to activate, it appears that the underlying issue might actually be elsewhere? The stacktrace does seem to actually include any code w/i this package. Rather, it's going through several of the dependencies from w/i the atom-ide-base project, ending in atom-ide-javascript/node_modules/@atom-ide-community/nuclide-commons-ui/Dropdown.js, (transpiled) line 45, which is really line 26, ie:

// this is just the parts that I think are relevant
import invariant from 'assert';
import remote from '@atom-ide-community/nuclide-commons/electron-remote';

invariant(remote != null);

Where invariant(remote != null); is what's actually triggering the issue.

I've never worked with any of these packages before, but if someone can give me some hints, I could take a whack at a fix. Any ideas? Thank you!

This is related to atom-community/ide-python#483

I'm also experiencing this issue, with a similar stack trace giving call.getFileName is not a function as the primary complaint.

Same here, 1.63

As a quick dirty fix, commenting out this line should fix the issue, but the debugger doesn't work.

atom-ide-javascript/src/main.js

Line 4 in 9c566a9

export { createNodeDebuggerProvider } from "./debugger/node/main"

The electron remote backend changed inside Atom. I suggested a fix if someone wants to continue the work.
