Can't build Latex

#1

I can no longer build Latex files. Command-B does nothing, and Tools > Build is greyed out. Additionally the box down the bottom has disappeared. I am on MacOS 12.2.1 and running Sublime Text 4200. This issue persists after I restart.

Given you are using LaTeXTools it means the plugin is either disabled, absent or file is not detected as LaTeX file. No build system is configured for TeX files for instance.

You may also want to check ST’s console output for related error messages. Maybe something is preventing the plugin from loading properly.

How do I check the console output?

Console can be opened by right clicking onto the sidebar button in the status bar and selecting “Console”.

There’s also a key binding, but it depends on your keyboard layout, which key actually works.

The console is blank, but if I click the arrow on the right, the text “from urllib.request import urlretrieve;urlretrieve(url=“https://github.com/wbond/package_control/releases/latest/download/Package.Control.sublime-package”, filename=sublime.installed_packages_path() + ‘/Package Control.sublime-package’)” comes up in a drop-down, and clicking it places it in the console.

This is unrelated. You just brought back the most recently executed command. But for it to be present you would already have had needed to open the console before.

Opening new windows may cause console to be cleared. Restart ST and check again, whether all plugins are loaded correctly or if any errors occur.
