While installed…

Text reads:

Argument to path.extname must be a string

  Object.extname                     - C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\atom\app-1.19.0\resources\app\src\electron-shims.js:20:10

  • There is no folder called app-1.19.0, there is only app-1.21.1…

  • An update does not do anything.

  • I have been using Atom only as a plain text editor.
    Using Find-Replace to throw-away text and temporary files.

Any ideas?

Hello @danPadric,

While not answering your question about the version being 1.19.0 I can explain the warning you see! This looks like https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/15734. This is currently scheduled to be fixed when Atom 1.23 is in beta.

Thank you for your reply.

I can confirm my case is the same as the one you linked to.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Open an Atom Window with at least one “Untitled” tab.
  • Press Ctrl-Tab.

Expected behavior: No deprecation warnings.

Actual behavior: 3 deprecation warnings.

Reproduces how often: 100%

I can confirm that I could reproduce the effect in Atom V1.22.1 Beta:

For the above case (installed as a portable under Windows7),
there is no mention of a previous version.

May I assume it is a false positive…
nothing to effect operation other than the messages?
