Question

I’ve installed the CoffeeScript plugin via Package Control. When I try to build test.coffee it gives me this:

[Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
[cmd:  [u'cake', u'sbuild']]
[dir:  C:\Users\Me\Documents\TestProject]
[path: C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\npm\]
[Finished]

Here’s the build in Sublime Text. I’m on Windows and everything CoffeeScript outside of ST2 works correctly.

{
    "cmd": ["cake", "sbuild"],
    "path": "C:\\Users\\Me\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm",
    "selector": "source.coffee",
    "working_dir": "$project_path"
}

The path gives the correct value. The cake script is there. So where’s the problem?

Answer 1

Thanks for the help guys. I’ve finally found the problem.

On Windows, instead of

"cmd": ["cake", "sbuild"]

it should be

"cmd": ["cake.cmd", "sbuild"]

Instead of modifying it just add:

"windows":
{
    "cmd": ["cake.cmd", "sbuild"]
}

That was subtle…
