[BU01] Introduction to running tools with Sublime Text Build Systems

[@abdulachik]

thank you very much man, great refresher and i did learned a couple of things too

[@OdatNurd]

Awesome!

I appreciate the content, but I was overall confused by this. To start, the definition: "a simple configuration file that tells sublime that in a particular situation it should run a particular program to produce a particular action" tells me almost nothing. What is the expected result or class of results? The config file example, I see no such file in my installation. Where are they located? When I run R's build, it just gives an error that RScript isn't found. I found Sublime files installed in at least 3 places (AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text, AppData\Local\Sublime Text, and Program Files\Sublime Text), but I don' t see the build config files anywhere, nor do I see the location documented in their help or in the (long) forum thread. I hope this feedback is constructive.

I can't get the word wrap in the build window to go away. I've tried word_wrap, and wrap_width, but neither work.

[@OdatNurd]

When it comes to build systems, the global preferences for what the word wrap are set to are not followed; instead, the sublime-build file needs to have a "word_wrap": false in it. If you're creating your own builds, you can add that. If you're using an existing build, you will need to create a new build based on the one you're using.

Sorry to bother you with my question, but I've only been using Sublime Text 4 for a month, I love it (I even bought the xD license). There's just one thing I can't configure my way: Do you know how to make it so that when I open a project or workspace, Sublime doesn't open a new blank tab as well? It frustrates me that when closing the project I always have to close another empty Sublime window as well. Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful

[@ivanlegranbizarro8102]

I found the solution: For those who may have the same issue, "keep_focus": false solves the problem. So sorry for the inconvenience.

[@OdatNurd]

No inconvenience at all! Sorry for the late reply here, KZbin doesn't send me notifications sometimes. Glad you got your problem sorted out though. I assume you're using LaTeX tools or similar?

[@ivanlegranbizarro8102]

@@OdatNurd Yes. Thanks for your interest! Now, yes; never has a code editor worked better for me

[@khomo12]

Great!

Hey there, I've been following your videos on Sublime and Terminus. I have a question for you: I installed Terminus and made two build-systems: one for C++ and one for Java. The build systems are nearly identical except for the compiler specific details. The goal is to use terminus to open a new pane to the right of the main coding tab. What's puzzling me is that the two systems behave differently. The Java build system behaves as expected and opens a Terminus tab in a pane to the right of the coding text. But the C++ build-system moves the open .cpp file to the right side pane and then opens Terminus below, executing the code. Any idea what I'm missing? Here are the two build-systems: JAVA: { "target": "terminus_open", "cancel": "terminus_cancel_build", "post_window_hooks": [ ["carry_file_to_pane", {"direction": "right"}] ], "focus": true, "title": "Java Build Results", "auto_close": false, "timeit": true, "working_dir": "$file_path", "shell_cmd": " cd $file_path", "shell_cmd": "javac \"$file\" && java \"$file_base_name\"", "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)", "selector": "source.java", } C++: { "target": "terminus_exec", "cancel": "terminus_cancel_build", "post_window_hooks": [ ["carry_file_to_pane", {"direction": "right"}] ], "focus": true, "title": "C++ Build Results", "auto_close": false, "timeit": true, "shell_cmd": "g++ \"${file}\" -o \"${file_path}/${file_base_name}\" && \"${file_path}/${file_base_name}\"", "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$", "working_dir": "${file_path}", "selector": "source.c++", }

[@thomas_1611]

lol as soon as I posted this question the answer became clear! The problem is that I was using "target": "terminus_exec" instead of "terminus_open" in the C++ build-system.

[@OdatNurd]

Haha, glad you got it sorted!

[@brianhendrix]

I'm not able to find a way to make a build system for YAML which also integrates Termius as my SSH tool. Any help is appreciated.

[@OdatNurd]

What sort of tool are you trying to run?

[@brianhendrix]

@@OdatNurd I write a LOT of ansible playbooks but I've always done it using "vim" logged into my ansible control server via Termius. I use sublime as a text editor only but seeing some videos come across my screen I noticed I can edit YAML files in sublime and test / run them via Termius.

[@brianhendrix]

@@OdatNurd I like sublime and I LOVE Termius. However, I've never learned to use sublime in any more advanced way other than as a text editor. I'd like to take advantage of it's checking YAML code, and, if possible, running the code via connection to Termius, if that's possible.

[@OdatNurd]

A build can execute any command, so if you know what command you could run from just a regular terminal in order to run what you want to run, you should be able to use SSH to run that from a bill because SSH can connect and execute a command remotely. For the other part of your question, in order to check for problems in such files you would need an LSP server for that. I'm not sure offhand if there's one for yaml, but the one for json might cover that

[@SteS]

Is it possible to build sublime text python code for a simple on file python plugin lets says?

[@OdatNurd]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but plugins have a lot of power when it comes to Sublime in general, and you can indeed augment build systems with them.

[@SteS]

@@OdatNurd I mean for plugin development for sublime text itself. Can they be built to test them? If they can't then how are ST plugins tested?

[@OdatNurd]

@@SteS Plugins are created and loaded directly inside of Sublime, generally speaking, since they need to take advantage of it's API to do most things. I've never used it myself, but if you're interested in it there is a UnitTesting package that you can use to help test your package out as well:packagecontrol.io/packages/UnitTesting

Hey Odatnurd, I think you should improve your discord server and focus on it more, it can help us very much! If you want then I can make useful channels for your server and manage them!! Also pls tell me if you want more audience, because I can design ATTRACTIVE KZbin Thumbnails for your channel!! And Video Thumbnails are very important because a user's attention is caught by that only. I am waiting for your reply. One Of Your old subscribers

[@OdatNurd]

If you have suggestions for channels that would be beneficial to the discord, I'm all ears!
