Sublime Text Package Control search not work properly


Have trouble with Sublime Text 3 and Package Control. Can't find some packages through search (some plugins finds, some not), for example Color Picker plugin (https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/ColorPicker). Tried to reinstall Package Control and re-add repository but without results.

What could be the reason?


Solution

  • The most likely explanation is that you already installed ColorPicker at some point, and this is the reason it's not showing up in the searches you do via the Command Palette, such as using Package Control: Install Package. Go to Preferences -> Package Settings -> Package Control -> Settings-User and check the list of currently-installed packages to ensure it's not already listed there. If for some reason it's there, but not installed, delete it, restart Sublime, then try your search again, and it should show up.
