[IDE Tip] how you setup sublime for using with the ESP-IDF

[rudi ;-)]

hi folks

who is using this editor for esp-idf?
i tested the things for fun and i must say, it is not to bad.
for using with ESP-IDF you can create a custom build file, i did try this for a windows setup and test just in time the (windows) things for using it near usually programming IDE.

if you want try it out by self, i share my custom build setup file, if you find a better way or mistake or anything,
plz let me know.

here you are, it is simple json format

Code: Select all

{
	"cmd":	["C:/msys32/msys2_shell.cmd","-mingw32", "-where", "$folder"],
	"file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
	"selector": "source.c, source.c++",

	"variants": [
		{
			"name": "ESP32-IDF Menuconfig",
			"cmd" : ["C:/msys32/msys2_shell.cmd","-mingw32", "-where", "$folder", "-c", "make menuconfig"],
		},

		{
			"name": "ESP32-IDF Clean",
			"cmd" : ["C:/msys32/msys2_shell.cmd","-mingw32", "-where", "$folder", "-c", "make clean"],
		},

		{
			"name": "ESP32-IDF Flash",
			"cmd" : ["C:/msys32/msys2_shell.cmd","-mingw32", "-where", "$folder", "-c", "make flash"],
		},

		{
			"name": "ESP32-IDF -j4 All",
			"cmd" : ["C:/msys32/msys2_shell.cmd","-mingw32", "-where", "$folder", "-c", "make -j4 all"],
		},
	]
}

you can simple expand the custom build - example with make app, make flash app, make bootloader and so on..

be sure you have setup the IDF_PATH right
i created for this the xport_idf_path.sh like in the RTF is written

sure - you can use environment vars in sublime too - like you want to do this.
important is, that the shell finds the IDF_PATH and it should work then.

one point i am not 100 prozent sure, is the clean prozess.
i think it is enough to give (Only) the "$folder", i read on, there are some things with "../$folder" possible,
but i want not clean up my projekt completly - ,
you can find nice RTF to this theme.

hope this helps other people if someone want test this nice "IDE".
i know - few espressifer's are using this too - watch the espressif video's and you will find the using there
so i did found sublime - not used before - i use usually Uedit32 and N+++ also HIEW and other stuff.
i give sublime a try for this for now.

Thanks for sharing rudi. Its nice to have alternatives. I was doing something very similar with Visual Studio Code. But since I moved to CMake, I cannot look back its just way to much faster than make. I hope Espressif comes out with a way to get VSC back in the game soon.

hi
yes this was my use case to have alternatives.
i used the portable version, simple zip without an install.
did not knowed about sublime until i saw this in one of the espressif video's.

which problem you have in vsc?
you know this vsc thread?
does not help?

best wishes

I tried that but for some strange reason I was unable to get it working using the new setup.
