Show for particular package not working

[binaryfunt]

For some reason, when I have

show: {
  package: "quick-fold"
}

in toolbar.cson, the button doesn't show, even though I have quick-fold installed. This is a package I recently created and published - the development version is only linked in dev mode and I installed the release version the usual way after publishing (and it's not disabled). If I change "quick-fold" it to another, older package I maintain and have a dev version of, the button re-appears.

I don't get any errors/warnings in the console.

try typing atom.packages.isPackageActive("quick-fold") into the console and see what it returns.

It could be that the package is installed but not active. (i.e. no activation command was dispatched)

[UziTech]

maybe we should change it to check if the package is loaded instead of active?

try typing atom.packages.isPackageActive("quick-fold") into the console and see what it returns.

Indeed, returns false. It seems my package doesn't activate until I run the (only) command it has. Is this a problem, generally speaking? It doesn't really affect the behaviour of my package other than there's a bit of latency when I first run the command.

maybe we should change it to check if the package is loaded instead of active?

atom.packages.isPackageLoaded("quick-fold") does return true even before the package is activated.

Is this a problem

No, packages like quick-fold that have a command that needs to run should defer activating until the command is called so they don't affect startup time.

It seems like the "package" condition should return true if it is loaded not just active but I don't know if changing it now would break someones expectation.
