Hydrogen install request on every atom start

[jwhonce]

Since hydrogen was added every time I start atom, the dialog to install hydrogen is presented. The hydrogen package is installed and up to date.

I've tried deleting the hydrogen package and letting it be re-installed. That didn't change the behavior.

I've tried deleting the pythonic-atom package and re-installing it. Again, no change. The dialog is still presented.

This is a annoyance rather than a "block me using atom" issue.

Hello,

I tried to reproduce the problem in two instances with no luck.
If you have any logs to share it would be really helpful.

Now i would suggest some steps for you to try out, to ensure that this is not caused by pythonic-atom.
Have a look at this :
https://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/debugging/
First try to clear Atom's state
atom --clear-window-state
https://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/debugging/#clearing-saved-state

If the above does not work, try to restore Atom to factory defaults to make sure it is not a configuration issue. (Keep backup)
rename %USERPROFILE%\.atom .atom-backup (Windows)
mv ~/.atom ~/.atom-backup (Linux)

https://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/debugging/#reset-to-factory-defaults

Let me know if any of the these helped.
Thanks,
Serafeim

atom --clear-window-state did not correct the issue.

I did mv ~/.atom ~/.atom-backup, then installed the pythonic-atom package and allowed atom to install the dependencies. I then restarted atom and the dialog for pythonic-atom to install hydrogen was presented. I went ahead and answered yes. Atom did the install and presented a green box. I then restarted atom again, and was again presented with the dialog to install hydrogen.

I hope this helps.

Okay, i am running out of things to try since i cannot reproduce it :)
Is there anything showing up at console?
Try Ctrl+Shift+I at start up.

I tried atom --profile-startup ~/tmp. That is the only way I could find to force the console to show up during the startup. From the console:

2017-10-03 10:50:30.643 Profile 'startup' finished.
2017-10-03 10:50:30.767 Failed to clear temp storage: It was determined that certain files are unsafe for access within a Web application, or that too many calls are being made on file resources. SecurityError

I don't know if that helps or not. I shutdown atom, removed ~/.config/Atom/Local Storage/* and restarted atom. Dialog presented yet again.

Try to update to latest version, a new release has been published couple hours ago.
In the meantime i will keep investigating, i will let you know if i come up with something.

Thanks,

Issue still happens with versions:

atom 1.20.1 x64
pythonic-atom 0.2.9
hydrogen 1.23.0

I let atom re-install hydrogen after upgrade. Restarted atom and was presented with dialog to install hydrogen.
