file-missing "Opening input file" "No such file or directory" prettier-el.js.gz.base64
Closed this issue · 12 comments
I am getting this error when I do M-x prettier-info. Unlike the previous issue created under this header, I am not using the straight package.
(file-missing "Opening input file" "No such file or directory" "~/.emacs.d/elpa/prettier-20210606.1150/prettier-el.js.gz.base64")
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. As far as I can tell this is an issue with MELPA, I've opened a ticket over there: melpa/melpa#7652
As a workaround you could install directly from this tarball: https://github.com/jscheid/prettier.el/suites/2922863809/artifacts/65601677
You'd need to unzip it (not untar it) and then use M-x package-install-file
I assumed it was a MELPA issue but just wanted to check here first.
I'll try your suggested workaround, thanks!
@jscheid sorry to drag this on, but I get (error "Package lacks a file header") when I try to install from that tarball.
No problem. Did you unzip it? You should have a tarball that looks like this:
$ unzip prettier.tar.zip
Archive: prettier.tar.zip
inflating: prettier.tar
$ file prettier.tar
prettier.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
$ tar tf prettier.tar
prettier-1.1.0/COPYING
prettier-1.1.0/COPYING-diff-match-patch
prettier-1.1.0/bootstrap-min.js
prettier-1.1.0/dir
prettier-1.1.0/prettier-el.js.gz.base64
prettier-1.1.0/prettier-pkg.el
prettier-1.1.0/prettier.el
prettier-1.1.0/prettier.info
Then, in Emacs M-x package-install-file RET /path/to/prettier.tar RET should work.
Okay that was silly of me. Got it.
For anyone reading this later, I just needed to restart Emacs (restarting prettier didn't work) so that it wasn't trying to look for the elpa version of prettier.
@jscheid feel free to close this issue if you'd rather Melpa track it, thank you very much for your assistance.
Glad I could help. I might leave it open until this is sorted.

@jscheid Sorry, can you provide an updated link? I am having the same issue but this link leads to a 404 page. Thanks.
Ah weird, the link works for me... anyway, attaching it here: prettier.tar.zip
GitHub won't let me attach it unzipped so you'll still have to do that.
I ran into this as well, seemingly out of nowhere. Prettier was doing bizarre things, like putting random space all over certain files.
The end of prettier-info's output looked like this
:prettier-options
(file-missing "Opening input file" "No such file or directory" "/Users/GCannizzaro/.emacs.d/elpa/prettier-20210606.1150/prettier-el.js.gz.base64"))
There appeared to be a discrepancy between the package directory contents and the code's expectations. The contents of the directory were
-rw-r--r-- 1526 07-19 14:35 bootstrap.js
-rw-r--r-- 1643 07-19 14:35 externs.js
-rw-r--r-- 2620 07-19 14:35 prettier-autoloads.el
-rw-r--r-- 18808 07-19 14:35 prettier-el.js
-rw-r--r-- 447 07-19 14:35 prettier-pkg.el
-rw-r--r-- 51429 07-19 14:45 prettier.el
-rw-r--r-- 47852 07-19 14:35 prettier.elc
but the code was looking for files called prettier-el.js.gz.base64 and bootstrap-min.js.
What has gotten me unblocked is changing to MELPA stable:
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)Yeah this is quite unfortunate... every day a few dozen people are installing this package, they will all get this error now. I'm not sure what I can do about it, except hope that the MELPA maintainers will take a look soon...
This is fixed now.
