Build System - Sublime Text 3

Question

I have the following script called \"build-bat.sublime-build\":

{
  \"cmd\": \"build.bat\",
  \"working_dir\": \"$project_path\",
  \"windows\" : {
      \"s         


        

Answer 1

You can rename your build.bat to make.bat and choose the Make build system in ST. Just press Ctrl+B and ST will try to start make command and make.bat will be executed. The output will be showen in ST's console.

Answer 2

After adding a new build system to sublime text 3 you have to restart sublime text 3. After this the code above works.

Answer 3

This worked for me:

---

It works with paths and files with whitespaces by spilting up the arguments with "arg" , such as:

[..., "/C", "START", "${file_path}", "${file_name}"]

---

Paste this into your Batch.sublime-build file.

{
    "file_patterns": ["*.bat"],
    "selector": "source.Batch",
    // This runs the batch file in cmds' console
    "cmd": ["cmd", "/C", "START", "${file_path}", "${file_name}"]
}

Your batch file can then be run in the CMDs' CLI. I suppose it's possible to pass arguments also but this may be a starting point for you.

The above will run cmd.exe and run the code in its native console. This will accept your inputs of the .bat file.

Here's a build that can be saved as BatchStConsole.sublime-build

{
    "file_patterns": ["*.bat"],
    "selector": "source.Batch",
    // This outputs to Sublime Texts' console
    "cmd": ["cmd", "/C", "${file}"]
}

The above will run the code in Sublime Texts' console. This will not accept your inputs of the .bat file. But still useful for debugging as it passes any arguments like the native CLI but just no interaction.
