Blinking Cursor, but no input prompt (temporary fix)

[micage]

Hi,
a lot of people - myself included - seem to struggle with the latest version of Terminal-Plus.
There is only this blinking caret but no text input possible.
I tried the following procedure with success and it seems to be working as expected. Hope this will help some of you, too:

In ~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/package.json in the dependencies section
remove the commit id (#......) at the end of the pty.js entry:

"pty.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/pty.js.git#28f2667" becomes
"pty.js": "git+https://github.com/jeremyramin/pty.js.git"

cd ~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/
npm install
apm rebuild

Restart Atom, this should be it ;)

[insight1111]

I'm windows user.
I have errors similar zzzgit when npm install.

[ghost]

insight1111 have you tried updating node and npm?

[insight1111]

But I still failed install.
node version is 6.9.1 and npm version is 3.10.9.

[zzzgit]

now i have updated node to 6.9.1 and npm to 4.0.2
but i can't input into the panel still

Mine seems to be mostly working after micage's fix but if I try to run 'Atom .' in the terminal I get this error "LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/Atom.app with error -10810."

[Linicks]

This fix worked for me:

• Ubuntu, 16.04
• Atom, 1.12.6
• Node, 6.9.1
• NPM, 4.0.2

Thanks!

[ste-goldstein]

I was having same error as @zzzgit and @insight1111 but after upgrading node to 6.9.1 and npm to 4.02 the fix worked (Ubuntu 16.04).

[insight1111]

update npm 4.0.2 and atom updaet to 1.12.6.
It worked.Thank you!

[josdima]

it worked. Ubuntu 16.04
Thanks.

[robrecord]

Please! Release this fix. Bugged me for weeks.

[blakekl]

Has anyone actually created a pull request for this? The fix worked for me.

[EDIT]
Just saw there is a pull request for this. It also fixes issue #362
This issue seems to be a duplicate of that one.

[Somil91]

solution worked for me as well . Thanks

[j-burlison]

Solution worked for me! Thank you!!!

[skleeschulte]

I have the same issue. The fix does not work for me (Windows 7 x64; node-gyp working correctly).

[irbigturtle]

still experiencing this issue - thanks for the fix :) (OSX)

[UncleVic]

Sorry, maybe I'm stupid, but I can't do it.

macOS 10.12.1, Atom 1.12.6, node-gyp 3.4.0, node v7.2.0, npm v3.10.9

I've done that:

1. Close atom
2. Change the said line
3. Do the following commands

cd ~/.atom/packages/terminal-plus/
npm install
apm rebuild

4. Restart atom

But I see black screen and blincking cursor ;(
What am I doing wrong?

platformio-ide-terminal dosen't work too.

[prcolaco]

Worked like a charm for me. Thanks micage! :)

[mshiltonj]

Did not work for me. :-/

[naoey]

Wasn't working initially on macOS Sierra 10.12.2, worked like a charm after brew upgrade node to 7.4.0 👍.

[bennypowers]

This didn't work for me on sierra

[yuanzhuohao]

Work for me, Thank you!!!!!!!!

[andreyluiz]

Removing atom and node.js to make it work sounds like 'restart the machine to fix high processing usage'. It is not a good solution at all.

[jasonnathan]

Ok, it wasn't working for me. Here's what I did for it to work:

cd ~/.atom/packages
rm -rf terminal-plus
git clone https://github.com/jeremyramin/terminal-plus
cd terminal-plus
npm install
apm rebuild

[hanibash]

Everyone, I think you should try switching to Termination. Fork of terminal-plus that works great. Not part of an IDE. Active development.

[andreyluiz]

Platformio IDE terminal is also nice.

[prcolaco]

I'm using iTerm2 since this broke again after Sierra update. Quite nice this terminal and it has an option to auto open/hide with hotkey (alt + space) - have to setup in settings, not enabled by default...

[magbello157]

This fix worked perfectly for me on Ubuntu 16.04, Atom 1.13.1 x64, Node 6.9.5

[dzt]

Thanks! Worked like a charm :)

[utiq]

Great fix, thanks!

[NicholasPeretti]

Thanks! It works just fine!

[jagrio]

Thanks for the fix! Termination works great too!

For all those using linux (ubuntu 14.04) having issues with

npm install

like myself, you should install both npm and nodejs-legacy, if not already installed

sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy

I found out thanks to this post also.

[jpecjo]

Awesome find and fix. Cheers!

[Kila2]

thanks work for me!

[nakaras]

it worked, Thank you.... !

[PrimeTimeTran]

Worked like a charm for me. Thanks bro!

[freebit]

Thanks!

[2rohityadav]

now working for me.
somebody help me out.. still i am getting just blank screen

[vinod827]

Yes, this solution is working me on Mac

[nlound]

Thank You!

[maratheameya3]

This is the error that I get please advise. I am using Windows 10.

[MrAmbiG]

OS: windows 10
This Solution worked: NO/FALSE
Atom version: 1.39
node: v12.4.0
Many other terminal packages simply fail to install: atom-ide-terminal and others
Forks of this package behaves the same way: vk-terminal and others
I have been having this problem since months. Every month I check back and reinstall, repeat all the steps and when it fails, I simply go back to Microsoft Visual Studio Code with great disappointment even though VSC offers an overall better experience than Atom IDE, I will come back when atom itself has an terminal which works effortlessly.
