The new upgrade to Adobe Dreamweaver causing problem with js linting

This morning at 04:30 Tokyo time, Adobe Dreamweaver, without my permission, decided to download to award me an upgrade, which competely blocked js linting from working. I just get the message, 'ESLint terminated with error. Max connection attempts reached. I know the problem is with the upgrade because I removed Dreamweaver and downloaded the previous 2021 version and problem is no more. This is a 'heads up' to other users who might encounter the same problem and I'm also wanting to know, how I block the upgrade from downloading.

Thanks. Gary

Hi @jonathan_7524, @rodenthead, @RKMunich , @m.scheithauer,

We have released Dw 21.6 update fixing the linting issue on Mac and Win platforms. Can you please try updating to latest 21.6 version and let us know your findings on the issue.

Have a pleasant day!

Thanks,

Hello @Nayan_Kankariya ,

After a work day of using DW 21.6, I can confirm that JS linting appears to be working as intended, granted it was more PHP coding today than JS, but any JS generated had the code hinting associated to the code.

I am also happy to say that the daily crash of DW is no longer happening, since this update. I have a feeling that something with JS linting was causing a critical error with Windows 11, but I never took the time to get all of the full error logs and would just close DW right after opening it.

Thanks!

Thanks people for the replies. I'm sticking with the Dreamweaver v2021 for now and have, because of the info supplied here, blocked the auto upgrades.

Nayan, when you have fixed the bug, could you inform us on this thread. The problem only happens with js linting.

Hi @rodenthead,

Sure, we will update this thread once the issue is fixed. We would like to inform that the issue does not occur on all machines and hence can you please confirm if you have tried the suggested workaround to launch Dw with Administrator mode on your machine and the outcome of this workaround on your machine.

Have a pleasant day!

Thanks,

Nayan

To disable automatic updates, the setting isn't in DW, but in the CC Desktop App...

1. Open the Creative Cloud Desktop App
2. Click the Apps sidebar item on the left
3. Click the 3 dot icon on the right, next to "Installed Apps"
4. Disable auto updates

Hi Nayan,

similar error on my Mac: Timeout during the linting process
I am already Admin on my Mac, is there also a workaround for Apple Silicon Macs?

Thanks in advance,
Marc
