Uncaught TypeError: Cannot create property 'reversed' on string '' about atom-latextools HOT 12 OPEN

I found a workaround.

• Go to: settings (mac:cmd+, Windows-Linux:Ctrl+,) > Open Config Folder (in the left panel)
• open: packages/latextools/lib/snippet-manager.coffee

case 1: for the $-matcher, find and comment the code:

    if text =  te.getSelect edText()
      text = text.replace(/\\/g, "\\\\")
      range = te.getSelectedBufferRange()
      te.setSelectedBufferRange(range, '')
      @snippetService.insertSnippet("\$#{text}\$")
      return

replace it by:

    range = te.getSelectedBufferRange()
    text = te.getTextInBufferRange(range)
    text = text.replace(/\\/g, "\\\\")
    if text
      @snippetService.insertSnippet("\$#{text}\$")
      return

case 2: for the ' and "-matcher, find and comment the code:

    if text =  te.getSelectedText()
      text = text.replace(/\\/g, "\\\\")
      range = te.getSelectedBufferRange()
      te.setSelectedBufferRange(range, '')
      # Use snippet to leave selection on (same as ST)
      @snippetService.insertSnippet("#{left}${1:#{text}}#{right}")
      return

replace it by:

    range = te.getSelectedBufferRange()
    text = te.getTextInBufferRange(range)
    text = text.replace(/\\/g, "\\\\")
    if text
      @snippetService.insertSnippet("#{left}${1:#{text}}#{right}")
      return

+1: Similar thing (quotes) started happening to me on OSX Sierra (10.12.6) using Atom 1.23.1 x86 with LatexTools 0.8.5.

Steps to reproduce:

• Save document as tex file
• Type text, select word(s), and type "
• Error is triggered, linking to this issue.

Happy to provide more details if needed (eg package-list, console log, etc).

To me it also happens where doing CMD+L+E to start an environment.

Same here. Not sure how to fix that

from atom-latextools.

I can confirm that the bug is still there. I am using Atom 1.23.3 on High Sierra 10.13.3. It affects the dollars $, as well as single quote ', double quote ", two single quotes '' and the backtick `. It is getting frustrating now...any ideas on how to fix it?

from atom-latextools.

This bug is nearly a showstopper for the plugin and has been open for months. It's getting embarrassing on top of frustrating...

from atom-latextools.

It is the same for Atom 1.24.0, I've tried reinstalling, however the problem is still there.. and it's been there since late 2017... really frustrating..

Still here in April, with Atom 1.25.0. Really frustrating!

from atom-latextools.

Still here in May, with Atom 1.26. Is this plugin maintained at all? If authors do not care about fixing embarrassing bugs they could just flag the package as unmaintained or deprecated so we can move on.

What a hero! This is working for me, but I had issues with indenting to start with, so make sure it all matches up if you're having trouble.

Thank you, oaroldan! <3

@findlayjy Nice to know that it helped you! Thanks for let me know about the indenting issue (I updated my post to include this)

from atom-latextools.

@oaroldan Thank you so much! It worked for me too!
Shall we close the issue or leave it open hoping that someone fix this thing once and for all?
