To send commands to a plugin from the command line, I know you can do the following:
subl --command my_plugin_command
Is there a way to pass arguments to this? All of the variants I’ve tried either try to open files named like the passed arguments, or give the message “Unable to parse command: …”. The only thing that doesn’t error so far is:
subl --command “my_plugin_command {}”
Anything placed inside of the {} causes the “Unable to parse command” error.
??
May be you have a wrong function call?
Here an example from my Plugins, that works fine.
The Plugin:
class ViewInsertCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit, pos, text):
self.view.insert(edit, pos, text)
The call:
self.view.run_command("view_insert",
{"pos": pos, "text": self.macro_list[selection][0]})
Turns out you need quotes for the arugments, and they need to be escaped. The following works:
subl --command "my_plugin_command {\"somearg\": \"String passed as somearg\"}"
