on macox 10.8.4 sublime 2.0.2 build 2221

fresh install

on nodejs express project while trying to jump to definition get the next output:

TernJS: No need to update PyV8

    target_file = dfn['file']

what can it be? any thought?

seems this https://github.com/int3h/SublimeFixMacPath plugin helps

No, the problem is, for some reason, Tern returned data about symbol in a way that ST plugin can parse. I’ll investigate this issue a bit later.

I have this issue as well:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\igen894\apps\Sublime Text 3 Beta\sublime_plugin.py", line 549, in run_
    return self.run(edit)
  File "tern in C:\Users\igen894\apps\Sublime Text 3 Beta\Data\Installed Packages\TernJS.sublime-package", line 497, in run

I am trying to jump to definition inside a module pattern, like how jQuery works:

( function( home, $, undefined ) {
...
  home.work = {
    init: function() {
    ...
    },
    ...
 };
}( window.home = window.home || {}, jQuery ) );

home.work.init(); <--jump to definition

I also have this issue when attempting to jump to definition:

Starting TernJS server for empty with 1 libs and 0 files Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_plugin.py", line 549, in run_ return self.run(edit) File "tern in /Users/lawson/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/TernJS.sublime-package", line 497, in run AttributeError: '[object Object]' object has no attribute 'file'

Has anybody found a solution?

The same happens for me in ST3:

Syncing project /Users/chris/dev/sublime-projects/chakka.sublime-project
Starting TernJS server for /Users/chris/dev/sublime-projects/chakka.sublime-project with 2 libs and 7 files
Syncing project empty

AttributeError: '[object Object]' object has no attribute 'file'

My .sublime-project file contains this:

"ternjs": {
    "dir": "/Users/christianvogt/dev/chakka",
    "exclude": ["node_modules/**"],
    "include": ["js/**/*.js"],
    "libs": ["browser"],
    "plugins": {
        "node": {}
    }
}

Same thing is happening for me as for chris--, ST3
