Run tasks from Sublime Text 3

FileTasks

Inspired by VScode's tasks feature.

Installation

Currently this plugin is not added to Package Control, so you need to install it manually. Clone in Sublime's packages directory (Preferences -> Browse Packages) this repo. E.g. for Ubuntu users it may be:

cd ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages
git clone https://github.com/arthur-s/FileTasks.git

Setup

Real world example - copy files from laptop to remote server:

{
    "tasks": {
        "copy example.com": { // name of task
            "command": "scp __file__ example.com:/home/arthur/project/__relative_file_path__",
            "workdir": "/home/arthur/work" //optionally you may set workdir
        },
    }
}

Reserved words are tasks, command and workdir. You may use variables in command string. Variables looks like __var__ (with double underscores in both ends). Variables list is (and with what it will be replaced, if your active opened file is /home/arthur/work/project/app1/models/model.js):

• __file__ - replaces with file full path (/home/arthur/work/project/app1/models/model.js)
• __filename__ - replaces with file name (model.js)
• __filedir__ - file's direcrory path (/home/arthur/work/project/app1/models)
• __relative_file_path__ - if workdir is set, workdir will be cutted from fullpath (if workdir is /home/arthur/work, then __relative_file_path__ will be replaced with project/app1/models/model.js)

TODO

• show response message when tasks finishes
• show error when command fails
• add debug mode
• add ability to do tasks for directories in project
