When opening the terminal I get this error:
VM22 <embedded>:14 Cannot read property 'SOCKET' of undefined TypeError: Cannot read property 'SOCKET' of undefined

Hi
I've got the same logged error here.

Adding versions if it help:

$ apm --version
>
apm  2.1.2
npm  6.2.0
node 8.9.3 x64
atom 1.33.1
python 2.7.17
git 2.17.1

$ atom --version
>
Atom    : 1.33.1
Electron: 2.0.16
Chrome  : 61.0.3163.100
Node    : 8.9.3

As stated by @the-j0k3r 's comment, updating atom and reinstalling the platformio package resolved the issue
