Tidal not working after update

Hi, after updating tidal atom package 3.8.3 on ubuntu 18.04 it doesnt work, im using tidal 1.4.4 and after tryng to evaluate as a test

d1 $ s “bd”

atom gives me this

Load BootTidal.hs from /home/dhn/.atom/packages/tidalcycles/lib/BootTidal.hs
t>

Some flags have not been recognized: prompt-cont,

Variable not in scope: d1 :: t0 -> t

Variable not in scope: s :: [Char] -> t0

ive tried to reinstall tidal and using older version but still gives me the same error

usually the atom-tidal package is only bug free with the latest version.

did you reinstall tidal-1.4.4 or upgrade to tidal-1.4.7?

if you didn’t upgrade, you can do so by running
cabal update
followed by
cabal install tidal

There was a compatibility problem with the latest atom plugin and tidal, it took us a couple of days to notice and fix it.

As @dsm0 suggests, if you update either the atom plugin, or the tidal library, or both, that should fix it.

i tried upgrading to 1.4.7 and updating the atom package to 3.8.3 but it still doesnt work.

i also tried to reinstall atom both using snap and apt but still gave the same error, when i ctrl+enter in a new .tidal file

d1 $ s “bd”

Hmm that’s strange.
How about if you try to run this in atom:

:script /home/dhn/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.0.2/tidal-1.4.7/BootTidal.hs

then

d1 $ sound "cp"

i tried to ctrl+enter

:script /home/dhn/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.0.2/tidal-1.4.7/BootTidal.hs

and it gave me this

Load BootTidal.hs from /home/dhn/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.0.2/tidal-1.4.7/BootTidal.hs
t>

Some flags have not been recognized: prompt-cont,

then i tried with

d1 $ sound “cp”

and gave the same error

Variable not in scope: d1 :: t0 -> t

• Variable not in scope: sound :: [Char] -> t0
• Perhaps you meant ‘round’ (imported from Prelude)

i also tried

apm install tidalcycles@3.8.4 

but still gives me the same error both running

:script /home/dhn/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.0.2/tidal-1.4.7/BootTidal.hs

and

d1 $ sound "cp"

reinstalled tidal 1.4.7 and atom upgrade atom-tidal package to 3.8.4

tried again

:script /home/dhn/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.0.2/tidal-1.4.7/BootTidal.hs

and now gave me this

No configured ghc path

Ghci command: ghci Ghc-pkg command: ghc-pkg

Some flags have not been recognized: prompt-cont,

Old ghc does not understand :set prompt-cont so commenting out that line should fix it for you I think. Ref: Broken tidal after update

It was suggested in chat to move that line to the end of the file instead so that breakage is not so bad.

thanks guys now its working fine, i removed

:set propmpt-cont “”

and it works and works also when moved to the end of the file

Thanks, I’ve dealt with this!
