Unable to select compile target for openfl project

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

I am unable to build a openfl projet. In the root of my project, there is a file named "project.xml" (I can build the project using lime). I open a file (*.hx) in the Source subdirectory and press "Ctrl-Shift-B". Instead of listing possible targets, a "build.hxml" file is autocreated and presented.

How do I compile my openfl project?

Any output in the console ?

Unable to open [projectDirectory]/Source/build.hxml
Package Control: No updated packages

I noticed: When I open a file directly in the same directory of the "project.xml" (not in a subdirectory), it works.

[clemos]

It's weird. What is your exact directory layout ?

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

The layout:

(project root)
--> Assets
--> --> (...)
--> Export
--> --> (...)
--> project.xml
--> Source
--> --> Main.hx

I am editing "Main.hx".

And what's the content of your project.xml file ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project>

    <meta title="Fair Dice" package="de.woodengames.fairdice" version="1.0.0" company="Wooden games" unless="pro"/>
    <meta title="Fair Dice Pro" package="de.woodengames.fairdicepro" version="1.0.0" company="Wooden games" if="pro"/>
    <app main="Main" path="Export" file="FairDice" unless="pro"/>
    <app main="Main" path="Export" file="FairDicePro" if="pro"/>

    <assets path="gui/android" include="*" exclude="defaults.xml|skins.xml"/>
    <icon path="Assets/logo.png" />

</project>

You run Windows, right ?

[clemos]

... and you use the master branch, right ?

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

I installed it via package control

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

Ok, I might just be using sublime incorrectly. After scanning through "HaxeComplete.py", I tried this:

File -> Open Folder. Than open the project folder. In that folder open "Source/Main.hx". Now it works. So I may not open the file directly but I always have to have the project folder opened in sublime?

[clemos]

Yes, you need to open your project folder. If no folder is opened, the plugin will assume the project folder is the .hx file folder, hence the generation of this .hxml file. There are lots of ways to improve this behaviour, but for now, using "open folder" is the easiest way.

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

Ok thanks!!! I am unsure if it is just my complete sublime inexperience, but maybe it should be mentioned in the documentation?!?

[clemos]

It's subtle but it's mentionned in the docs ;) https://github.com/clemos/haxe-sublime-bundle#usage It could be more explicit, though.

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

Oh ... yes there it is. I miss interpreted that. But that is because I do not know sublime. I was unaware that one can open folders until I searched for it.
