Configure Sublime Text build system for Scala?

Question

I'm trying to configure a build system for Scala with SublimeText, but I am having some difficulty. I have tried both of the following:

{
    "shell_cmd": "scala",
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.scala"
}

{
    "cmd": ["/path/to/bin/scala", "$file_name"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.scala",
    "shell": true
}

Both of these attempts produce the same failed output - it seems to start up the interactive Scala shell rather than running my script. Any advice?

Answer 1

The answer that worked turned out to be very close to the second answer - apparently I'm not supposed to open up a new shell. If someone can clarify when to set "shell": true in the comments, that would be really helpful.

{
    "cmd": ["/path/to/bin/scala", "$file_name"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.scala"
}

Answer 2

{
    "cmd": ["C:/Program Files (x86)/scala/bin/scala.bat", "$file_name"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.scala"
}

This worked for me. replace C:/ with your own path.

Answer 3

In Packages/Scala/Scala.sublime-build, add this:

{
    "cmd": ["[PATH TO SCALA]", "$file"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.scala"
}

Replace the [PATH TO SCALA] with the path of where scala interpreter is located in your system. Do a "which scala" to find out.

Answer 4

This works for me:

{
    "cmd": ["scala", "$file"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.scala",
    "shell": true
}

given you set the system PATH thing:

Variable: %PATH%
Value: C:\Program Files (x86)\scala\bin

Answer 5

in my case I didn't install Scala or SublimeText, I just used the zip. But this code worked for me to compile the .scala files from SublimeText3 on Windows.

{"cmd": ["C:/Scala/scala-2.13.3/bin/scalac.bat", "$file"],
"working_dir": "$file_path",
"selector": "source.scala",
"encoding":"utf-8",
"file_patterns": "*.scala",
"shell": true}

You can create it or download it and put it in the directory Sublime Text Build 3 ###\Data\Packages\User

Build System For Scala :

OSX - (Mac)

Use the below:

{
    "cmd": ["/opt/homebrew/bin/scala", "$file_name"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "source.scala"
}

Path to delete the build:

/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/User
