Cannot fInd builder traditional (but later it can)

#1

I use ST for latex but today I run into this problem. I opened a .tex file and tried to build the pdf but I got the message:

Cannot find builder traditional.
Check your LaTeXTools Preferences

The error persisted after I closed the file and opened it again. I opened another tex file, same problem. Finally I quit ST, tried again, and from there on everything went fine.

I have experienced the same issue occasionally in the past but I cannot put my finger on what triggers it, or whether quitting/restarting ST always resolves it. Do others see this, or is there an issue with my setup?

Thanks

It is triggered by updating LaTeXTools.

Reloading the package after upgrade brakes LaTeXTools internal plugin ecosystem until ST is restarted.

The solution would be to rip out internal plugin ecosystem and directly use the modules, but thats too much work to happen anytime soon.
