Hello! I was a big fan of Atom editor, and I’m very glad that Pulsar is continuing the legacy of Atom. My concern/question is, how in the heck do I install plugins? Specifically, plugins for python? And also, is there a terminal/space to run Python code like there is in VSCodium? In VSCodium, there’s a play button and code runs automatically in the built in terminal. Any help is appreciated!
I think the platformio stuff hasn’t been kept under active development for a long time now and I’m pretty sure the whole thing was archived on GitHub, it might need something like an older version of the tools or it might be broken entirely.
Unfortunately that will be something you might come across with Pulsar, some of the changes we have had to make to update our dependencies (and sometimes just changes in the later releases of Atom) have broken some packages and they just aren’t maintained any more. We do try to keep track of these when found and mark them as such with special labels.
What features of platformio-ide were you after? There are almost certainly some alternatives.
I wanted to use a built-in terminal. Like running python code and having it show up in the built-in terminal
So this is stuff we have been talking about a lot recently. At the moment the only terminal that I’m aware of that is 1) maintained and 2) working properly is
x-terminal-reloadedwhich is maintained by one of the members of the core Pulsar team.However I’m not aware of anything that will output to it. The various script runners I mentioned before will output to their own panels (
atom-runner,scriptandscript-runner). However another person on the team is currently developing a new script runner package that currently outputs to its own pane:However we were talking about the possibility that it could maybe interface directly with
x-terminal-reloadedto provide output directly in the terminal.Yes! That’s what I’m looking for. I’ll download the x-terminal-reloaded plugin as well.
