Build variants don't run

#1

I am running sublime text 3.1.1 build 3176 on Windows 10.

After updating to this build I have encountered a problem.

My build system has a bunch of different variants that launch command line apps and batch scripts. They then run in the sublime console.

For example I run an xmlinter that ouputs to console. I have a batch file that moves some files and echos progress to console. I launch some build tools like android ndk-stack.

All of these are periodically faiing to run. The console opens up when I run them, but then it just stays empty and silent.

Has anyone else encountered something similar?

Do you see any errors or issues being reported in the console when they fail to run?

No it is silent.

I have not actually confirmed if the batch script actually ran. Maybe it did, and the console input is bugged. I will have to check that next time I encounter it. It does not happen reliably.

I’ve encountered weirdness w/respect to using a combination of cmd and "shell": true which if I recall correctly seemed to execute the program but produce no output in the panel, whereas just using shell_cmd worked as expected.

That said, it seemed to do that 100% of the time and since I normally just always use shell_cmd instead I don’t know if that’s a recent thing or if it’s always worked that way as I haven’t investigated it very thoroughly.

In any case, if you’re using cmd with or without shell, you might try using shell_cmd to see if that has the same problem or not.
