  • 0

Right now I am playing around with CoffeeScript and I loved to see that Aptana now supports it natively. But I am unable to “Run” the Script directly in Aptana to get the results printed to the built-in console.

When i click Ctrl+R as described in the CoffeeScript Bundle I only get a git-help information printed in the console.

For Example

script.coffee

console.log "Hello Coffee"

When I run it through the terminal by typing

$coffee script.coffee

I get the result printed perfectly.
I can’t find any documentation or hints for solving this problem.
Am I missing something ?

    There is an open ticket here and a brief discussion here.

    If this is your issue (look at the console if you get this 'line 3: pre: command not found' error), then a temporary solution I found is to edit Aptana Rubles/coffeescript.ruble/commands/run.rb (located in ~/Documents in a linux installation) and remove ‘ | pre’ from line 11.

    After that, restart Aptana or reload the Coffeescript bundle from Bundles View (right-click on it->reload), select the text (will work only if there is selected text) and press Ctrl-R + 1. You should now see a new html file with the ‘Hello Coffee’ in it.

    Hope this helps.
