Running love2d from sublime when not in root folder

[zell2002]

i have this for my build :

Code: Select all

{
    "selector": "source.lua",
    "cmd": ["H:/LOVE/love.exe", "$file_path"],
    "shell": true
}

say im working on a project MyGame
H:\LOVE\MyGame\

and in that I have main.lua and another folder "Library" which has a helper.lua file
H:\LOVE\MyGame\Library\helper.lua file

when in Sublime Text 2, if im working inside MyGame folder, ie on main.lua i can hit ctrl+b and my build package runs fine. but if im working inside any sub folder i get the "boot.lua:364: No code to run"

Is there a way to get it so it doesn't matter folder I'm in for a build/run ?

You can make a batchfile/script to run your project and always call the batchfile in your text editor.

Change $file_path to $project_path. Then you won't be able to launch single files any more (it they are not you current folder's), but you can fix it with:
${project_path:$file_path} iirc, check it on the ST2 wiki page.

using "${project_path:$file_path}" has the same results im afraid

im not 100% sure how I would write the batch file to do it for me inside sublime ...

Make a script (depending on what os you're on) that runs your folder with love. In your texteditor then always start the script when you wish to run the project.

For example I have this .bat file in the same folder as my main.lua and love:

Code: Select all

start "" "%~dp0love/32/love.exe" "%cd%"

Then you aren't in "project mode" in sublime (or w/e you eant to call it), create a new project with the folder containing main.lua as the root folder.
