Can't install extensions in Brackets only Manually #4688
Comments

@jerrymed If you open the dev tools afterward (Debug > Show Developer Tools), what do you see in the console? |
|
Nothing, a black bar that says "detached from the target" (Thanks for the Quick reply btw) |
|
This means you have either quit Brackets already, or you already have developer tools opened in another tab. To avoid both of those problems, click Debug > Show Developer Tools the moment you launch Brackets, then leave that tab open. When you see the "Installation failed" dialog, switch back to that tab and look at the console. |
|
Same thing s: |
|
If you launch Brackets and then manually go to |
|
Closed Brackets and reopened, had Chrome closed just in case as well. Tried to install an ext again just to see if anything changed in chrome, but remained the same. |
|
@jerrymed Ok, do that again except when you bring up |
|
Just did that right now. And it went from a grey bar, to the black bar "Detached from the target" s: But of course, if all this if helpful for you guys, I'm more than glad to help. |

@peterflynn I have the same issue, when in work where windows authentication proxy is used. The console is not showing any issues. |
|
This might be an issue with HTTPS protocol, because our proxy is decrypting the traffic, we need to use |
|
@jerrymed So you're saying that when you click the link (like the one in your screenshot above), you see the dev tools start to load, and then without you touching anything else the "detached" message appears spontaneously? If that's the case it sounds like there may be some sort of firewall software on your computer that's being overzealous about blocking socket connections. That could certainly interfere with downloading & installing extensions too (and it probably breaks Live Preview entirely). If you're aware of any software like that, can you try disabling it temporarily and see if that fixes the problem? |
|
@zaggino I think you're in luck! As a hack, try this:
|
|
@peterflynn yes, that worked for me, thanks. |
|
@peterflynn Funny thing is, Live Preview works perfectly S: I'll try the solution you gave @zaggino -- Didn't work either. I'll just stick to installing manually. Strange how this happened. |

@peterflynn for further investigation. Low priority. |
|
Seems I'm not the only one with this problem in the office, I guess it is a firewall we have no access to. |
|
I have exactly the same problem on my Ubuntu 13.04. No firewalls, no proxies, Brackets installation directory owned by my user. Launching Brackets with root privileges doesn't help as well. |
|
Using Ubuntu 13.04, same problem with me. ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment. |
|
@bogdan-kulynych and @metalbrick we don't support the Extension Manager on linux yet. It's coming though. See #4772 and adobe/brackets-shell#278. |

I have a similar problem with not being able to install extensions on Windows, but this only surfaced in sprint 36. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as changing |
|
I had a similar issue, its working fir me with elevated previledeges (run as admin). |
|
@ToucheSir Are you on Windows XP? Sprint 36 has a known issue with installing extensions on XP... @gnetsys Do you have any sort of firewall or network security software running on your machine? If so, can you try disabling it temporarily to see if Brackets works when run normally (non-admin)? |
|
Yep, stuck on XP for the time being. Removing the offending file watcher binary as mentioned in another issue (forget which one) solved the issue. Looking forward to #7200 :) |
|
Closing -- @ToucheSir's case was a known issue that was fixed in Sprint 37. The earlier reports after this was reopened are all on Linux, where Extension Manager wasn't supported at the time (already fixed now). @gnetsys If you're still seeing the problems you mentioned can you open a new issue with more details about what security/firewall software is installed on your machine? |
|
I can't install any extension through extension manager, can't open dev tools on chrome so no message either than google error. I'm on macosx mavericks how can i fix this? already erased library/ application support/brackets and its the same issue , either sprint 38 or 39. |
|
Same issue Not able to install extension in the office network , even changed to extension_url protocol to http , their should some option of installing from the "download extension .zip file and install extension from downloaded zip file" |
|
@hotcoder That is currently tracked by 'Install Extension from Zip File on Disk' on our backlog -- please upvote to help raise its importance. @luigilabel I'm not sure how your screenshot is connected to the issue you're describing. Did you try to select Debug > Show Developer Tools for some reason? You shouldn't need to... If your Internet access requires a proxy server, you can use the |
|
The problem for me was in my hosts file. Make sure you haven't tampered with localhost... |
|
ok, i did a clean installation of mavericks, then installed brackets then I couldn't get any extension, the same freaking installation error: unknown error (but in spanish) : then I read around here to click Show Dev Tools and see the error but this is the result : I'm using preinstalled apache on mac os and mysql from oracle community bundle. |
|
I found a solution to this error "instalation failed". Somehow the machine was trying to get the "localhost" from the proxy!!. On the dev-tools there was an error "'ws://localhost:", node.js was not working. By the way, I also have exceptions to ".github.com" and ".amazonaws.com". For those who do not have a pac or wpad file you may try use the old host file (I've not tried that). |
|
@peterflynn changing the extension url to use http instead of https in the config.json works for me, thanks alot |

The original issue was about something else, so locking to avoid spam on old issue. |
and others
I've been having an issue with installing extensions since Sprint 27, where I can't install from URL, nor can I from the Extension Browser now in S28.
I've tried reinstalling fresh, erasing cache, erasing cache and installing clean, etc..
Nothing. Any recomendations?
