hyper: Error Updating Plugin - Hyper ver 1.4.3 on Windows 10
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: Windows 10
- Hyper.app version: 1.4.3
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js:
- Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on Mac OS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Added ‘hyperline’ add-on.
Issue
I have installed npm, and also yarn (just in case npm didn’t work), and upon installing and opening hyper, I was given the message that there is an error in updating plugins. I entered the plugin ‘hyperline’ to test into the config file. The popup window said that it cannot find 'C:\Users\JupiterStorm\.hyper_plugins\node_modules\hyperline'.
In the config file, I also modified the shell, and shell-arg:
shell: 'C:\\Program Files\\Git\\git-cmd.exe',
shellArgs: ['--command=usr/bin/bash.exe', '-l', '-i'],
I’ve attached a screenshot of the dev tools with the error.

I’ve been looking for answers for hours now but couldn’t find anything that was helpful.

@lZzozZl Its already fixed in 1.4.7. Try doing a clean install. Also remove the folders C:\Users<Username>.hyper_plugins and C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Hyper before reinstalling.
Is this mean that is fixed and on the next version i will not have this problem anymore or it means that i need to download or edit some files somewhere to fix my problem?
I’m also facing the same issue every time I select Plugins -> Update.
This is the error that I get as a Windows notification. I understand its incomplete but the console in the developer tools is not showing anything. Is there any other way to produce a complete log?
I’m on a newly installed Windows PC with Hyper 1.4.3 running on default .hyper.js.
