SublimeText 3 - Package Control: Removed directory for orphaned package ColdFusion

Question

I am running SublimeText 3 (build 3083). I follow the manual install directions for the ColdFusion plugin as described here (https://github.com/SublimeText/ColdFusion):

Download Manually

• Download the files using the GitHub .zip download option
• Unzip the files and rename the folder to ColdFusion
• Copy the folder to your Sublime Text 2 Packages directory

This has worked (and still works) on many machines. But today I have a PC that each time I re-open SublimeText it removes the ColdFusion directory and in the SublimeText console it says "Package Control: Removed directory for orphaned package ColdFusion". Haven't been able to find anything on this yet. Help appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

The "Download Manually" section is for Sublime Text 2 only. At the very top of the README you linked are the ST3 instructions:

The development branch contains a rewrite of the ColdFusion plugin. The only installation method is via Git.

cd Packages/
git clone https://github.com/SublimeText/ColdFusion.git
cd ColdFusion
git checkout development

On Windows machines, the Packages folder is in %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Packages. You'll need to have a working copy of git on your machine, which can be obtained here.

Alternatively, you can download a zip file of the development branch, extract it, rename the resulting ColdFusion-development folder to ColdFusion, then copy that into your Packages folder.

EDIT

I did a little digging, and apparently this package is no longer being developed. However, the CFML package has been suggested as a replacement. Not being a ColdFusion user, I haven't tested it myself, but reviews from others are good. It's available for ST3 only, but can be installed directly via Package Control, so you don't have to worry about using git.
