Error: "Gist: unknown error (please, report a bug!)" #151

wa-rren-dev · 2014-10-08T08:43:02Z

Post-install when trying to do anything with Gist! No settings popup.

HorayNarea · 2014-10-14T02:21:08Z

i second this, even after manual configuring
creating gists works but also shows this error

EvanAgee · 2014-10-14T16:53:46Z

Same here...
I noticed it happening after I installed OSX Yosemite, FYI

jiqimaogou · 2014-10-17T00:08:11Z

windows has the same problem.

the-glima · 2014-10-20T17:21:02Z

same here on Ubuntu 14.04

zboldyga · 2014-10-21T02:33:28Z

Same here with OS X Yosemite, the plugin doesn't ask for settings and pops up with the titled error message when I run any commands.

I added a user settings file and was able to create a gist, although an error box still popped up. All other commands still failed with an error box.

zboldyga · 2014-10-21T02:34:16Z

oh, and I'm using sublime text 3 beta

ostueker · 2014-10-23T13:59:50Z

Same error here.

error: Gist: Error while contacting GitHubNo such file or directory
error: Gist: unknown error (please, report a bug!)

Sublime Text 2 (Version 2.0.2, Build 221)
Gist version: 2014.08.23.17.39.42
OS: Ubuntu 14.04

Interestingly it works on a different machine with Ubuntu 12.04.

Same problem.

sheldonhull · 2014-10-30T18:41:27Z

Similar error. Note, I can create a gist, but I can't OPEN. The open gist option is what is causing me to fail.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

jackkeller · 2014-11-07T21:45:31Z

Same here sadly, Yosemite & ST3 also. Anybody find a workaround for this yet?

nonchip · 2014-11-11T11:40:35Z

same here.

seems as if the api_request in gist.py line 327:

        filtered = gists_filter(api_request(settings.GISTS_URL))

returns some empty values, which are then propagated through helpers.py gists_filter into gist_title, where it tries to call .get in line 49:

        return [title, gist.get('user').get('login')]

MartinSerdar · 2014-11-18T00:32:19Z

Not working here too... ST3 Win64

mhanel · 2014-11-19T08:03:42Z

I had the same problem with ST3 on OS X Yosemite. Changed the value for "show_authors" to "false" and it works :).

"show_authors": false

the-glima · 2014-11-24T14:10:14Z

@mhanel that works, thanks!

renestalder · 2014-11-28T10:39:44Z

Can confirm, that @mhanel 's solution is working for me.

emrecamasuvi · 2014-12-12T11:55:21Z

I've resolved my problem by adding proper setup variables to Gist.sublime-settings - User
Go to, preferences -> Package settings -> Gist -> Settings -User

Grab your token from github https://github.com/settings/applications#personal-access-tokens
Add the token in user settings file.

{
   "token": "XXX"
}

If you're behind corporate proxy, u should also write it in settings file;

{
   "https_proxy": "http://USER:PASS@IP:PORT",
   "token": "XXX"
}

schutzsmith · 2014-12-31T03:16:24Z

Doesn't seem to work for me with most recent version of package and on ST3 Yosemite. Looks like I can create a gist no problem, but "Gist open" produces this error.

I'm getting in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):

knjname · 2015-01-14T14:57:51Z

I faced this problem (Win8.1 x64 and Sublime 2.0.2),

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\gist.py", line 37, in _fn
    return fn(*args, **kwargs)
  File ".\gist.py", line 209, in on_gist_filename
    gist = create_gist(self.public, description, gist_data)
  File ".\gist.py", line 60, in create_gist
    gist = api_request(settings.GISTS_URL, data)
  File ".\request.py", line 135, in api_request
    return api_request_curl(url, data, token, https_proxy, method)
  File ".\request.py", line 49, in api_request_native
    token = token if token != None else token_auth_string()
  File ".\request.py", line 39, in token_auth_string
    raise MissingCredentialsException()
MissingCredentialsException
error: Gist: unknown error (please, report a bug!)

and the following lines seem not to work.

at request.py line 32.

def token_auth_string():
    settings = sublime.load_settings('Gist.sublime-settings')
    token = settings.get('token')
    print settings.get('token') # -> "None"
    print settings.get('max_gists') # -> "None"

lasselehtinen · 2015-01-29T13:20:25Z

Same problem, but with Win7 x64 and Sublime Text 2.0.2. Token has been created and added to the config.

adiaz101 · 2015-02-21T03:48:50Z

For those also not being able to open a gist, change the "show_authors": to false. Running on windows 7

ghost · 2015-02-24T10:36:38Z

+1 to everyone above who suggested changing "show_authors" to false. Worked for me on OSX 10.10

leongaban · 2015-03-10T19:47:51Z

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28972615/gist-plugin-erroring-out-in-sublime-text-3?noredirect=1#comment46196521_28972615

The plugin still produces the same error for me. OSX Yosemite + Sublime Text 3.

I generated the token, and added it along with the "show_authors": false flag :(

Another strange thing, when I open up the default Gist settings and try to save it, I get the following error: "Unable to save ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/Gist/Gist.sublime-settings Error: No such file or directory"

leongaban · 2015-03-10T19:59:40Z

Got it working!

Instead of generation a token via the CURL command: https://github.com/condemil/Gist#generating-access-token

I had to generation a token on Github here: https://github.com/settings/applications#personal-access-tokens

It produced a string which I pasted into the "token" key instead of the JSON produced by the CURL command.

daynaskully · 2015-03-23T14:44:22Z

Sublime 2.0.2, 2221 (osx 10.10.2)

MissingCredentialsException: Doesn't read Gist.sublime-settings to get the access token. If i edit request.py and manually return my token it works.

from pprint import pprint
pprint (vars(settings))

{}

ianchanning · 2015-03-25T09:59:35Z

Since the proper settings window doesn't open on package installation. When you add your token make sure you are editing

Preferences > Package Settings > Gist > Settings - User

and not just

Preferences > Settings - User

spleenteo · 2015-04-06T14:10:17Z

I don't know why and how but at the first line of my gist user preference file, there is a path to the file it self. I've just removed that line, and now it works like a charm.

schutzsmith · 2015-05-25T16:54:59Z

Took the advice of all above but still doesn't seem to work. Even made new token via Personal Access. Any other possible solutions?

llanquin · 2015-05-29T23:03:26Z

i took all the advices too but nothing seemed to work until i noticed my gist user preferences had some elements inside [ ] and they were not an array so i eliminated it and now is working.

the lines where:

"include_users": "[llanquin]" and "include_orgs": "[]",

and i changed them to:

"include_users": "llanquin" and "include_orgs": "",

now the plugin is working for me.
hope this simple and stupid thing can help other people.

drebbits · 2015-06-18T05:59:38Z

This solved it for me. Just wondering why the Settings - Default isn't editable?

kevin-snippet · 2015-07-07T20:36:28Z

put in the token and it works :)

phaberest · 2015-08-17T15:02:00Z

I can confirm it still gives that error if I set "show_authors": true, solved with @mhanel hint.

olpapchenko · 2015-08-27T19:01:55Z

@emrecamasuvi solution is working

versedi · 2015-08-29T09:30:49Z

@mhanel's solution is a way to go 👍

robstarbuck · 2015-09-04T14:06:53Z

@ianchanning +1. It was just a matter of knowing where to set the token.

Unayung · 2015-11-24T06:08:52Z

@mhanel kudo for that !! just turn show_authors to false and voila :)

eteache · 2015-11-24T22:23:11Z

@emrecamasuvi 👍

User field seems to only be used on a commit by commit basis in history. https://developer.github.com/v3/gists/#get-a-single-gist This doesn't show all_authors but rather the current owner which seems to have been the initial intention of the code. Should fix condemil#151 and re-enable feature to be used. Closes condemil#145 as well.

mvexel · 2016-12-20T18:12:55Z

The solution @mhanel provided also works on Linux.
