[HELP] Sublime 2 - "'love' is not recognized as..."

[RonCode]

Hi All!

I'm new here and I cant wait to make some fantastic games, from what I've heard, this is a fantastic engine and a great community!

I'm trying to configure my Sublime 2 with Love but I keep running into this error:

'love' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
[Finished in 0.0s with exit code 1]

I found this thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=76715 but this solution doesn't seem to help me :-/

Code: Select all

{
    "path": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\LOVE",
    "selector": "source.lua",
    "shell": true,
    "cmd": ["love", "$file_path"]
}

Any other ideas? I'm able to zip the file and have it load manually to Love2d, but I'd love it if I could build straight from Sublime.

Thanks!!

you could always drag the folder over the love icon
EDIT:

Code: Select all

{
    "selector": "source.lua",
    "cmd": ["C:/Program Files/LOVE/love.exe", "${project_path:${file_path}}"],
    "shell": true,
    "file_regex": "^Error: (?:[^:]+: )?([^: ]+?):(\\d+):() ([^:]*)$"
}

use this instead

Yeah, that's what I've been doing, was hoping for a better solution to make debugging less of a hassle then it already is

EDIT:

Code: Select all

{
    "selector": "source.lua",
    "cmd": ["C:/Program Files/LOVE/love.exe", "${project_path:${file_path}}"],
    "shell": true,
    "file_regex": "^Error: (?:[^:]+: )?([^: ]+?):(\\d+):() ([^:]*)$"
}

Now I'm getting this:

'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

instead of Program Files try PROGRA~1

[RonCode]

instead of Program Files try PROGRA~1

WOOOOOT! I love you! That worked! Although... I cant figure out why.

Can you elucidate?

Thanks again!!!!

tbh i dont really know why it workes myself.
it works for all files, try runing dir /x in cmd if you have windows

EDIT: found out! it works because windows still uses the old 8.3 file format

The way i manage it is with this.

Code: Select all

{
	"shell_cmd": "love $project_path",
	"path":"C:/Program Files/LOVE/"
}

The project has to be the folder of your source(like you would drag to the love)
