FIXED: Cannot install package - Ctrl-Shift-P does nothing - sublime_plugin.py", line 1302, in is_visible_

#1

It was working just a few minutes ago, but now nothing happens when I press Ctrl-Shift-P, and then choose “Install Package”. Nothing happens.

I find the following error in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\Lib\python33\sublime_plugin.py", line 1302, in is_visible_
    raise ValueError("is_visible must return a bool", self)
ValueError: ('is_visible must return a bool', <Package Control.package_control.commands.package_control_disable_debug_mode_command.PackageControlDisableDebugModeCommand object at 0x00000286D6EE8CC0>)

I am trying to install support for PowerShell and Vimscript syntax highlighting.

Interestingly, on my other computer I was able to invoke “Install Package”, and then type “VimL” to find the package I wanted. It worked just fine.

Well, that’s weird …

It just fixed itself. I got a message about dependencies being updated, and then an editor opened with all that information about package control. Then it said I would need to restart.

I restarted, invoked ‘Install Package’, and I typed 'VimL". And it worked. :slight_smile:
