Sublime Text 3 overwrites manually installed package in OSX

Following instructions to manually install arduino IDE here

Reason for manual installation is because package manager has an older version of the plugin (10 months).

After placing it in ../Packages, I open ST3 and watch Finder. Initially, the folder extracted is named "Stino-new-stino". A folder is created at ../Packages/User/Stino with what seems to be options for the topmenu, and then the Stino-new-stino folder is deleted.

Tried to put extracted folder into ../Installed Packages, as well as ../Packages/User, but doesn't get detected.

Also noticed that my TomorrowTheme package got moved into my ../Packages/User/SublimeLinter.

I removed SublimeLinter and it still seems to be happening so I'm thinking it's an ST3 thing.

Solution

  • There was some funky beta code happening and had to remove package-metadata.json for it to stop deleting itself.
