'Beautify' does not appear in command palette: 'unsafe-eval' error caused by Analytics-Node library

[danhawkes]

Running 0.13.2 in atom 0.135.0.

Having uninstalled a few (of what I thought were) unrelated packages, beautify is no longer showing up in the command palette.
It is appearing in the 'Packages' window menu, but selecting the 'Beautify' item has no effect.

No errors are generated, and as a last-ditch effort I've also tried reinstalling atom/the plugin and wiping the ~/.atom directory.

I'm out of ideas, so any help debugging the cause would be appreciated!

This occurs due to an unsafe eval in analytics-node. I forked and created a really hacky workaround (https://github.com/antoniomika/atom-beautify). To use this, just clone the repo into your .atom/packages folder and run npm install inside of the directory.

What this looks like:

cd ~/.atom/packages
git clone https://github.com/antoniomika/atom-beautify.git
cd atom-beautify
npm install

Please remember this is not a proper fix, just a quick workaround.

+1 I've also disabled the offending code in a similar way (removing the analytics ID from the settings and changing lib/language-options.coffee in order to check if an analytics id is set and then loading the analytics-node code only in that case). I'm unsure if analytics-node can be fixed in order to solve this issue: if not, the only feasible way to solve it is to change the way analytics statistics are collected, or removing them at once as suggested by @antoniomika. This is a decision up to @Glavin001 but until then we have to use a different repo.

We should be able to use loophole for wrapping unsafe eval code. I have a number of issues I will try getting around to resolving today now that I am home. Thank you all for your patients.

[Glavin001]

Please try v0.13.3 and let me know if this resolves your issue.

Thank you @Glavin001 It works like a charm now :)

if somebody else wants to check, before 0.13.3 is out, here is what I've done in order to test it:

cd ~/.atom/packages
rm -r atom-beautify
git clone https://github.com/Glavin001/atom-beautify.git
cd atom-beautify
git checkout v0.13.3
apm update

and reloaded everything (View>Reload)

[Glavin001]

Glad to hear it worked! I was actually unable to reproduce, but I used the error reported from issue #113 to narrow down the problem.

v0.13.3 is published to Atom already.

I always recommend a Reload after updating, I've had problems in the past where bugs were reported that were already resolved or appeared because of cached resources and a reload was required.

Thank you all again for your patients and please let me know if there are any more issues your have.

Working for me in 0.13.4. Thanks to all for quick responses.
