could not compile if the article file is opened via command line

[Mark-Han]

If I open the .tex file from the command line by typing subl articlefile.tex, the compilation can't be done. The message in the ST console is shown as below.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It works very well if the file is directly opened in files manager. The ST3 program and LaTeXTools package are both the most recent version. I am working on Win7 SP1.

It looks like you're using v3.12.7 instead of v3.12.8, as this was a bug fixed in the latest version. That said, this only happens if pdflatex can't be found on your system PATH or via the texpath setting in LaTeXTools. Do you have a LaTeX distribution installed?

[Mark-Han]

Thanks for your reply, @ig0774 . I'm terribly sorry that I can't affirm the exact version of LaTeXTooLs when raising the issue, the version of the LaTeXTools is v3.12.8 in the flowing picture. I do have a LaTeX distribution (MiKTeX 2.9) installed on my computer (Win7). However, it still does not work, and I have upgraded it to v3.12.11 now. Unfortunately, the article file can not be compiled if opened via command line as before.

The message in the console goes like this:
