Simple preview support? about sublime-better-coffeescript

[lavrton]

Try to use "Coffe: Display Javascript"

[Siyfion]

Sorry @lavrton I don't really understand what you're suggesting... My settings are simply:

{
  "compileOnSave": false
}

So as to stop the javascript files from being automatically generated. But the shortcut alt+shift+d for displaying the compiled javascript doesn't work with that option off.

[lavrton]

Command palette. Press ctrl+shift+p. Then find Coffee: Display Javascript

[Siyfion]

Ah, okay thanks! Is there a way I can assign this to a keyboard shortcut?

[lavrton]

I have this option too:

{
  "compileOnSave": false
}

And alt+shift+d works for me.

[Siyfion]

Hmmm.. Maybe because I'm running Linux it's not working?

[lavrton]

I have linux too. Can you open console and print output after keys pressed, please. ctrl+` from console.

[Siyfion]

Nothing at all gets printed.

[lavrton]

Close this issue for now. I can't reproduce your bug with keyboard shortcut. You can try other command:

[
    {"keys": ["alt+shift+s"], "command": "check_syntax"}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+r"], "command": "run_script"}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+t"], "command": "run_cake_task"}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+c"], "command": "compile"}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+d"], "command": "compile_and_display", "args": {"opt": "-p"}}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+l"], "command": "compile_and_display", "args": {"opt": "-t"}}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+n"], "command": "compile_and_display", "args": {"opt": "-n"}}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+w"], "command": "toggle_watch"}
,   {"keys": ["alt+shift+z"], "command": "toggle_output_panel"}
]

Is any of them work?
Please, open new issue if you need help.

[Siyfion]

@lavrton Nope, non of the key-bindings work at all.

@Siyfion You are on sublime text 3 right?

You are able to display the compiled javascript by pressing alt shift d and to run the script and display the output by pressing alt shift r.

I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 with ST3 and nothing gets printed at console `ctrl`` when I use those hotkeys. However, they work fine.

[Siyfion]

Very weird, same version of Ubuntu (13.04) and yet nothing.. Not sure what to try next! :\

Try setting the coffee binary location. Go to Better CoffeeScript settings and edit the "binDir": "/usr/local/bin" setting.

When you hit alt shift d or use command pallet to make it compile coffee to js, does it open a new tab where it was supposed to appear? This is important. If it is openning an empty tab, then the plugin is working but fails to run the coffee command to actually compile.

Also when you hit alt shift r does it open up a panel on the bottom where the output would be displayed? Again, is it an empty panel or no panel at all?

As a last resort, in case you installed via package manager, try installing the plugin manually. Basically download the code from the repo and place it under Better CoffeeScript folder under plugin folder. Readme has information on how to do this.

[Siyfion]

All the command pallet functions work fine, it's only the shortcuts that don't work. So it's unlikely to be the binary location, otherwise I would assume neither would work?!

I'll have a bit more of a play around with it tonight, uninstall it and try reinstalling from the repo directly.

[aponxi]

Yes you are right. Then it might be an issue about ST3 API, maybe the shortcuts need to be corrected...
