Sublime Text

[Yathosho]

in the last couple of days, i've been working on a autocompleter for Sublime Text that i find worth mentioning here. it currently supports all nsis commands (naturally), all macros from "useful headers", all syntax from bundled plugins, and some other bits. other than the completion, it also comes with some scaffolding snippets to easily create empty scripts.

here's a video of showing it in action (who spots the syntax error?).

the project is hosted on github and there's also a wiki page for it.

this is a work-in-progress, as i intend to extend its functionality over the time. looking forward to your feedback!

ps: the package is not yet available on package control, i'm still waiting for my pull request to be accepted

Wow, I glad to see how NSIS coding helpers are very good these days, I still prefer the old "notepad"

[Yathosho]

since the package still hasn't been included to sublime text's package manager, i've created a script to download and install it.

The basic completions and the add-on completions have finally been added to Package Control. The former supports all new NSIS 3.0a0, the latter supports the syntax of 165 NSIS plugins.

I've also commited the new syntax to the code highlighter and created a basic command lookup context menu. All in all that should make Sublime Text a powerful NSIS editor.

I've just completed a syntax definition file (and a snippet) for NSIS Language Files

(someone forgot to include LogicLib in the second example!)

I have added build support for Mac OS X and Linux, but I'm still waiting for my pull request to be merged. For the time being, you can test my fork. Just clone the repository into the Sublime Text packages folder (not Packages/User)

The script iterates over some default installation paths (see below), but since I could only test this on OS X (10.7 and 10.10), Fedora 22 and Ubuntu 15.04, it might not work elsewhere.

code:
"/bin/makensis"

"/usr/bin/makensis"

"/usr/local/bin/makensis"

"/usr/local/sbin/makensis"

"/opt/local/bin/makensis"

"/opt/local/sbin/makensis"

If you're on some other Linux distro, please let me know if it works (or run which makensis to check your makensis path)

Since my changes haven't yet been merged, I have created my own repository. This build system compiles NSIS scripts on Windows, Mac and Linux (possibly more). Comes with a new Wine fallback mode.

Now available on Package Control

Since I find the current situation overly complicated, there are two many single packages available, I have created a custom Package Control repository with a combines package. This is probably the best solution for the moment, though I will try speaking to the maintainers of the NSIS language file definitions to improve this further.

For now add the following repository URL to your Package Control settings ("Package Control: Add repository" in the command palette).

https://nsis-dev.github.io/sublime-nsis/repository.json

Once added, you can install the package called "NSIS Developer", which includes language file definitions for NSIS, NLF and InstallOptions, command completions, snippets and the improved build system for Windows and Unix/Linux.

Pretty damn amazing. Great work and thank you

A new linter for Sublime Text:

https://github.com/idleberg/SublimeL...ntrib-makensis

Only highlights errors so far, since I find it difficult to combine the RegEx for both errors and warnings. It's either the inconsistent nature of how makensis outputs errors and warnings, or the weird RegEx dialect.



Anyway, still better than no linting at all!

[Yathosho]

As of v0.2, the linter also highlights warnings
