ConstructCommand method looks only in the .bash_profile file

[sahilb]

def ConstructCommand(in_command):
command = ''
if(sublime.platform() == "osx"):
command = 'source ~/.bash_profile && '
command += in_command
return command

The issue is some times the user could have .profile file or other files for shell settings.
this gives the order which shell follows for setting up the environment: http://hayne.net/MacDev/Notes/unixFAQ.html

i have perforce settings in my .bash_profile and I still can't get this plugin to work .... still get the error about files not under the client root ... also p4 CLI works fine as well as the TextMate plugin ... so whatever this is doing, it's doing it wrong :(

Works fine for me, but you may check if you are running sublime as the same user. Like if you are user X and you should have the config file .bash_profile in /Users/X.

sorry for the grumpiness of my last post, I finally got it working by following the extra instructions here:

http://www.ericmartel.com/2012/02/26/mac-osx-p4-command-line-and-sublime-text-2/

the key for me was these settings:

export P4_HOME=/Applications/Utilities
PATH=${P4_HOME}:${PATH}

without both settings i still get these errors ...

Perforce [warning]: /bin/sh: p4: command not found
Perforce [warning]: File is not under the client root.

the default for the plugin is to write messages to the status bar which only shows the last messages and is very misleading since the main error is that p4 is not found, this should be more obvious fatal error not a warning about client root.

i suspect it is not respecting my $PATH variable since it should already be included by default in /usr/local/bin
why it needs to be set again? i have no idea, i'm just glad it's working :-/

Here's what works for me.

I use ZSH, so I did not have a .bash_profile file. If the file doesn't exist, none of the p4 command will work because the "source ~/.bash_profile" will fail. So I just create an empty file to solve that problem.

To get the environment variable set, I just launch Sublime for the Terminal. This is a little annoying, but it works (be sure to create the link: ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl).

Final note, I use the P4CONFIG environment variable which names a text file which you can then place in each of your workspace roots to define the workspace name. Much cleaner than mentioning the workspace name in an environment variable, in my opinion.

Hope this helps others:

On my Ubuntu 14.04 machine, I edited the sublime_text.desktop at /usr/share/applications to use subl. The patch is available at https://gist.github.com/gnawhleinad/96300214ade5a6da409c.

In my $HOME/.profile, I have:

export P4CONFIG=$HOME/.p4config

where $HOME/.p4config has the relevant Perforce configuration.

You could verify the existence of the environment variable by using the Sublime console, `CTRL+``.

In the console:

import os; "P4CONFIG" in os.environ

It should return True.
