updated to 9.2 console window not showing

[bartbes]

LÖVE is behaving properly, but apparently a load of text editors are invasively and destructively.

But i mean if if works on 0.9.1 and stopped working from 0.9.2 up its something to do with love...

EDIT: After some tests, it seems like running from the command line makes the love console output go to the command window that started the game, and not the LOVE console.

Relevant XKCD:

[rod_sn]

How is that relevant? You are just telling me to accept it? I mean, it all worked for everyone who builds love with sublime, and now it does not. Its not like the change made someone's workflow easier, its the opposite.

For output to print to console in a text editor set t.conf to false. And do the buffer thing from the first page of the thread.

He's telling you that löve became smarter by not opening its own console window, instead using an already existing one instead. That did indeed make someone's workflow easier by not having the console take up another window.

If the IDE of your choice would work correctly, that would mean you could debug your löve games/apps from its own console.
The fact that ST's won't work correctly has nothing to do with löve nor your accepting of this new feature, except maybe a bug report to ST about this issue from those affected. In short, we can't do anything, they may be able to.

[bobbyjones]

Well the issue is found in most IDE like atom and sublime. I think it's because internally their build scripts use shell cmd and love probably assume that is a console so it prints the output to nothing. When console is set to false I think ides are then able to hook onto the output. But this is just my hypothesis.

[rod_sn]

Well i guess i will have to run a batch file that runs the love build X)

[bobbyjones]

Did you try setting t.conf to false and the buffer thing? That is my setup and I get print out put on windows.

[rod_sn]

I got it working tho.. If anyone wants something like the old console you can put this in a batch file and run it with the argument of your build path:

Code: Select all

@echo off

TITLE %1 Console ::dont know why this does not set the window title if i run it from Sublime
cls
"C:\Path\to\Love\love.exe" %1

exit

Thats how i did it. May not be the best way though.
