[BUG] reading plugin settings

#1

Hi,

in my plugin i use that method to read settings

[code]SETTINGS_FILE = PLUGIN_NAME + “.sublime-settings”
SETTINGS_PREFIX = PLUGIN_NAME.lower() + ‘_’

settings = sublime.load_settings(SETTINGS_FILE)

def get_setting(key, default=None, view=None):
try:
if view == None:
view = sublime.active_window().active_view()
s = view.settings()
if s.has(SETTINGS_PREFIX + key):
return s.get(SETTINGS_PREFIX + key)
except:
pass
if settings.has(key):
print('get_setting: ’ + key + ‘,’ + settings.get(key, default))
return settings.get(key, default)
else:
return default[/code]
When i run my plugin (through a key press), i first load a setting like such

self.defaultKeychain       = str(get_setting("iosKeychain", "unknown"))

My problem is that if close/start ST, then on a command run those settings wont be read :s
It will only work if i open the actual plugin py file and just save the file (which i think means a reload of the plugin).

DOes anyone have any clue on why this is happening?

Thanks

ST3 would make sense. You can’t read the settings file until the plugin is loaded. So you can setup settings in the “plugin_loaded” function which gets run as soon as your plugin is loaded.

[pre=#232628]import sublime
import sublime_plugin

SETTINGS_FILE = “MyPlugin.sublime-settings”
settings = None

class MyCommand(sublime_plugin.ApplicationCommand):
def run(self):
print(SETTINGS_FILE.get(“this_should_work_now”))

def plugin_loaded():
global settings
settings = sublime.load_settings(SETTINGS_FILE)[/pre]

As a reference, you may want to take a look at sublimetext.com/docs/3/api_reference.html (specifically plugin life cycle in the API docs).
