Not easy to configure #24

Closed reagle closed 6 years ago

reagle commented 7 years ago

I installed via package control, but I don't know how to configure. I can't find any preferences file. Using MAC Sierra and ST 3136.

reagle commented 7 years ago

I've set the following in my Preferences.sublime-settings:

    "languagetool_jar": "/Users/reagle/bin/LanguageTool-3.7/languagetool.jar",

but I still get an error:

Error, could not find LanguageTool's JAR file (C:\bin\LanguageTool-3.5\languagetool.jar)

Please install LT in this directory or modify the `languagetool_jar` setting.

When I ask it to use the remote server, it says "Cannot parse server response..."

@reagle this plugin's settings must be stored in a LanguageTool.sublime-settings file in Packages\User. To get to the Packages directory, bring up the command pallette (Ctrl-P or equivalent) and type Preferences: Browse Packages then press Enter.

I suppose it makes more sense to have the preferences in Preferences.sublime-settings. I'll look into implementing that.

If you have other issues with the plugin, would you mind filing these as independent Github Issues? this will make them easier to debug and fix. Thanks!

LanguageTool.sublime-settings does not exist. Nor do I see anything in /Sublime Text/Preferences/Package Settings/

reagle commented 7 years ago

I created the file and include:

{
"languagetool_jar": "/Users/reagle/bin/LanguageTool-3.7/languagetool.jar",
"languagetool_server_local": "http://localhost:8081/v2/check",
"languagetool_server_remote": "https://languagetool.org/api/v2/check",
}

but I can't get it to work.

Yes LanguageTool.sublime-settings does not exist by default and has to be created. Unfortunately I don't have a machine with OSX so I can't test why it's not working for you. Are you sure the packages directory is correct? According to this SO thread, it's: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3

Default and user settings are now available from the Preferences menu
