Fresh Atom Install with [email protected]/3, required packages are not installed/prompted

[azielman]

Spent a few hours debugging why linter wasn't working (not linting, not showing any UI whatsoever, no errors in the console).

Finally downgraded linter via apm install [email protected], and was then prompted by atom to install linter-ui-default, busy-signal and intentions. Was then able to upgrade 3.2.3 with everything working.

Did the dependency check code break in 3.2?

OS X Big Sur
Atom 1.53.0

Worst case, would be good to document on the primary readme that these packages are required.

@azielman Thanks for the report. We didn't change anything regarding the dependencies, but I will check again.

I can confirm exactly the same thing happened to me. New fresh Atom install on a new fresh Ubuntu 20.10 install on a PC. Didn't ask to automatically install dependencies. I stepped back down to [email protected] as suggested in @azielman 's post above. On first run asked to install those dependencies and things work just fine now.

Same here:
Big Sur 11.2.3
Atom Version: 1.55.0
Linter Version: 3.3.1
New machine, fresh installs of all.

~  apm install linter
Installing linter to /Users/xxxx/.atom/packages ✓

That's all the output I got. When I installed the three packages noted above by hand, everything started working.

I see this difference in the debug output now:

UI Providers: 
Linter

Before, there was nothing listed here.

Similar thing happening here (Ubuntu 20.4.2, atom 1.57.0).

When I installed linter I was not told to install linter-ui-default and no linting worked (and no errors or warnings of any kind appeared. it simply displayed no output).
When I installed manually linter-ui-default I got prompted to install intentions and busy-signal as dependencies.
