Problem on using build -- cannot even use it #536

Closed AdrianSoMC closed 6 years ago

AdrianSoMC commented 6 years ago

There is a problem here default As seen from above picture, when I press f9 It just cannot compile and run a python code (I have already installed build-python thing) default It just doesn't allow me to even select target

Have you tried opening atom on the directory your file is in?

AdrianSoMC commented 6 years ago

Sorry, what do you mean by opening it on the directory my file is in?

oli-obk commented 6 years ago

Instead of rightclicking a file and choosing "open with atom", rightclick the containing directory. You might need to enable context menu entries in atom's settings

What @oli-obk said. atom-build is focused around building projects. not individual files. You need to open a directory.

Now arguably this is weird for the python provider since it doesn't necessarily require a project. We might be looking to change that.

But for now, you need to open a directory (so you can see the tree view).
