Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'onDidChangeIcon' of null

See original GitHub issue

I’m just trying to open a “.log” file. The error is thrown only when opening the file, and not when the file is in view in the treeview.

Report:

Atom Version: 1.13.0 Electron Version: 1.3.13 System: Unknown Windows Version Thrown From: file-icons package 2.0.12
