Sketch Welcome Screen

Small bug when Sketch “Welcome” screen is shown on app start.

Expected behavior:

Rendering should start normally.

Observed behavior:

• TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'context.document.currentPage')
• Sketch shows welcome screen, but does not render document

How to reproduce:

Install Sketch and don’t check off “show on every launch” on the “Welcome” screen.

Sketch version:

43.2

I believe you can just do

const sketch = require('sketch');

export default () => {
  const documents = sketch.getDocuments();
  let doc = Array.isArray(documents) && documents.length >= 1 // if there are any open documents
    ? documents[0] // select the last active document
    : new sketch.Document(); // or create a new document

  render(<DocumentContainer colors={theme.colors} />, doc);
  doc.selectedPage = doc.pages[0] // not sure that's necessary?
};

Well that seems like a bigger issue 😃

Can you try this?

• Open Console.app (find it with Spotlight)
• in the sidebar, select ~/Library/Logs -> com.bohemiancoding.sketch3 -> Plugin Output.log
• Close & reopen Sketch
• open a blank document
• type npm run render in a terminal
• are there any errors in your terminal, or in that Console screen?
