How to disable developer tools in the atom editor

Question

There is a function in the atom editor that shows dev tools when you double-click on a word. Perhaps it is intended for html, but in ruby ​​code it does not work. When you double-click on a specific word, it activates the dev tools, opens the console and shows some error.

How can i turn it off? I did not find the settings and I'm not sure if this is due to the installed plugin.

Answer 1

Developer tools do not open as a function: they open because there is an error somewhere! Unfortunately, Chromium (on top of which Atom is built) does not show the full stack unless dev tools are open before an exception occurs.

First, try opening them using View → Developer → Toggle Developer Tools (or run the Window: Toggle Dev Tools command from the palette) and try to reproduce the problem by double-clicking on the word. You should now see the full stack, hopefully including an indication of the package causing the problem.

Answer 2

A good answer is from Ash Wilson, but I wanted to specify a convenient package to disable the dev console from opening when an error occurs: https://atom.io/packages/error-status .

You should find out what causes the error, but most of the time it is annoying. This package shows an error directly above the status bar. Thus, you can still click on it to find out what the error is, but it is less intrusive than opening the console.

Edit : Package removed . Atom now has better error handling, and a notification appears instead.
