[idleberg]

How was the package installed?

[onaforeignshore]

Inside atom using Cmd+, and Install

[idleberg]

Technically, the error is not thrown by local-storage but one of its dependencies (atom-read-manifest). I will see what I can do, but of course it would help if I was able to reproduce the error – so it might take a while.

Have you tried the obvious, like re-installing the package? Did the error occur on launch or after running one of its commands? In normal mode or developer mode?

[onaforeignshore]

I have reinstalled it but still got the same error. The error occurs on opening Atom. I am using normal mode.

[idleberg]

I've tested this on two Windows machines, macOS and Fedora, but unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem. The most recent has updated dependencies, if that changes anything for you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's not much else I can do 😔
