Can't find ruby.sublime-build

#1

I was trying to show a beginner how the build system works and was unable to find the ruby.sublime-build file anywhere on my system. Is there a built-in default that doesn’t show up as a file? Or …

Thanks!

Most packages “hidden” inside zip archives at different locations and you cannot just edit and open them.

Just use: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/PackageResourceViewer

Super, thanks! That’s an excellent package that I wasn’t aware of!

Follow-up question: Using the resource viewer, if I edit and save something it has shown me, does that thing get properly saved so it’ll be used henceforth, even if it was found in a zip archive?

yes it does, it creates a file in the Packages/PackageName folder (Ruby, in your case) that will override the file contained inside the .sublime-package file.

I highly recommend installing OverrideAudit so that you can see if there were any official changes made since you created your override file (i.e. when the next ST build is released), that you may want to merge in to your override - otherwise you could experience odd behavior due to having an outdated file
