Updating to “[email protected]” failed on Windows

[underdpt]

When upgrading to latest php-ide-serenata v5.0.0 it throws an error in windows, due to the command rm being used (but it doesn't exists on windows):

The resalted line says "rm" is not recognized as an external or internal command.

Same Issue as @underdpt

atom/atom-languageclient#276 should fix it

[Gert-dev]

This does appear to be an issue with the atom-languageclient package.

As a workaround, you may be able to fix this by removing the php-ide-serenata package folder first and then reinstalling. In that case it may skip trying to remove the previous directory.

Once the pull request is merged in atom-languageclient, I'll try targeting the unstable commit to fix the problem here as well - at least if it doesn't break anything else, so I'll leave this open.

Thanks @Gert-dev

Removing the package and package folder didn't help (also tried removing the atom-languageclient folder). Will wait for the fix.

FYI, Same problem here. Using Win 10 64bit.

• uninstall and remove the serenata folder = did not work.
• install rimraf = did not work.
  back to v 4.5.3 and waiting for the fix.
  serenata is awesome!!

Another workaround that you can try is (in your Atom packages folder):

• git clone https://github.com/Gert-dev/php-ide-serenata.git.
• Open package.json and change this line "atom-languageclient": "github:atom/atom-languageclient#3d92c060e0a1b9558a392f5fba674dc707b4528e", to "atom-languageclient": "^0.9.9",.
• Run apm install in the php-ide-serenata folder.

This will likely fix it, but you will likely run into an issue where autocompleting e.g. @inher will result in @@inheritDoc.

I'm now wondering if I shouldn't just revert to that in master; the issue of not being able to install is probably worse than the autocompletion bug.

[UziTech]

I agree, especially since it seems atom has no intention of releasing a new version of atom-languageclient any time soon.

The other solution could be forking atom-languageclient and using your own fork until they decide to fix it in the main repo.

[Gert-dev]

Alright, I'm going to revert to 0.9.9. I've created #487 to track the issue it reintroduces.
