Hello !
sorry for the unexpected up of this thread (without giving you a fix).

I got the same error on windows 7 (64bits), and I thought it would be interesting to get another source of data about this issue (on a different platform) :

I have a fix (temporary)
At line 54 in project-banner/lib/project-banner-view.js
replace

this.subscriptions.add(Reader.watchConfig(Reader.packageFile, this.packgeJsonUpdated))

by

try { this.subscriptions.add(Reader.watchConfig(Reader.packageFile, this.packgeJsonUpdated)) } catch(error) { console.log("ERROR") throw new Error('Fuck') }

It is only a workaround for testing and debugging, but need to get a real fix.

@elis

Why this fix ?
Because the problem encountered is that the lib does not test wether there is a .bannerfile.json/cson, hence this leads to a break.

But as I had only my experience and the one from igoryonya , I only rely on these for my explanation of this bug+fix.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don"t have any other source for comparing.

Yours,
spouki

I can confirm that this error occurs everytime you open a project without package.json and/or bannerfile
It also occurs when opening a new empty window.
