Temporary fix.

edit ~/.atom/packages/atom-ctags/node_modules/ctags/src/ctags.coffee and in the first line
{Tags} = require(process.resourcesPath + '/app/node_modules/ctags/build/Release/ctags.node') change app toapp.asar.unpacked, which becomes
{Tags} = require(process.resourcesPath + '/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/ctags/build/Release/ctags.node')

@kkraju4u my file already became as

{Tags} = require(process.resourcesPath + '/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/ctags/build/Release/ctags.node')

but it's not working

[kkraju4u]

@michaelczhou If you are using linux, try locate ctags.node in terminal to find the location of the node package. use that location in the coffee file.

@kkraju4u Thx!

Hi, is there any solution for mac?
My first line in ctag.coffee is {Tags} = require(process.resourcesPath + '/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/ctags/build/Release/ctags.node') by default

[wuyukai879293]

@sergeialimov for Mac,actually you could find the ctags.node in app directory,/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/ctags/build/Release/ctags.node,not in the app.asar.unpacked directory,so you should change the first line of your ctag.coffee file to {Tags} = require(process.resourcesPath + '/app/node_modules/ctags/build/Release/ctags.node'),which just replace the app.asar.unpacked to app,it works for me,wish it would work for you.
