I tried to modify a package on which the original author is inactive for long in order to implement what I want. I first did the following.
$ apm disable language-latex
$ cd ~/work/atom
$ git clone git@github.com:area/language-latex.git
$ mv language-latex language-tex
$ cd language-tex
# edit package.json to initialize as a new package
$ git diff package.json
diff --git a/package.json b/package.json
index 60b6c78..c1d38dd 100644

$ apm link .
Then, I invoked Atom and it said “Failed to load the language-tex package” with a message below.

ackage.json:1:1
I guess the last line’s at /Users/yudai-nkt/.atom/packages/language-tex/package.json:1:1
is saying the first character of the first line of language-tex
's package.json
triggers the error, but I didn’t edit that place as you can see in the result of git diff package.json
. I have no idea about the rest of the log neither.
How can I load my language-tex
successfully and move on to the tweak?
Note that my environment is as follows:
- OS: OS X El Capitan 10.11.4
- Atom: Version 1.8.0
