Automatic build HAML

#1

I’m trying to let Sublime build haml files automatic on save. I’ve installed SublimeOnSaveBuild, added haml extension:

{
“filename_filter”: “\.(css|js|sass|less|scss|haml)$”,
“build_on_save”: 1
}
and created haml.sublime-build in AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User (originally from gist.github.com/esimov/3898955):

{
“cmd”: “haml”],
“working_dir”: “${file_path:${folder}}”,
“selector”: “source.haml”,
“file_regex”: “(.\.ts?)\s\(([0-9]+)\,([0-9]+)\)\:\s(…?)$”,

"windows":
{
    "cmd": "haml", "--trace", "$file", "${file_base_name}.html"],
    "shell": "true"
}

}
As a result it works fine if I set build system = haml, but it doesn’t if I try to set automatic ddetection of build system. Can anyone help with this issue?

P.S. I’m using sublime 3 without any additional plugins and extensions, but SublimeOnSaveBuild

P.P.S Also automatic detection works good for scss files

I’m not sure I’ve understood you correctly…what do you mean?

Finally I’ve found my mistake.
The problem was in line

“selector”: “source.haml”
It happens because file’s scope for haml looks a bit different - “text.haml” instead of “source.haml”. So I’ve change line above to:

“selector”: “text.haml”
and in works for me. You may find out the file’s scope in sublime by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P on file’s tab

HTML and markup languages in general are set under the “text” scope, so the HAML syntax is correct in following suit.

I haven’t really tinkered with HAML but for processing things like this I use Grunt. Have you looked into that at all? It’s probably a bit more of a hassle to set up the first time, especially for a small project, but I’ve found tremendous gains over time. It’s also editor-agnostic, which makes it easier to document the workflow and collaborate with others.

I agree with quodlibet - it might be worth looking into Grunt, Gulp or even a desktop app like Prepros to handle your compiling - much easier and a nicer interface than the Sublime Text build system.
