Help to execute this with thread?

#1

Hello I created this plugin

import os, sublime_plugin
class CmdCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):

    file_name_php=self.view.file_name()
    file_name_xml=file_name_php[:-4]
    os.system("php "+file_name_php+" "+file_name_xml+".xml 1")
    os.system(file_name_xml+".xml")

But while it get executed I can’t use sublime because it gets freezed, how can I execute this on a second thread or something like that?

You should use the subprocess module.

Then change it so something like:

import subprocess
# ...
subprocess.Popen("php {0} {1}.xml 1 && {1}.xml".format(file_name_php, file_name_xml), shell=True)

Thanks, that works like a charm

Edit: it’s possible to show the console without close it? because if i quit shell=true it doesn’t open the file at end, it doest at the begin

Can you elaborate what you are trying to archive and which OS you are on?

Sure, I’m using windows 10, I want to execute a php file, transform it in to xml and then open the xml when php file finish to execute, also I want to be able to see the console (cmd) because with shell=False it closes when it finish, and with Shell=true it doesn’t even show.

This comand works fine “php {0} {1}.xml 1” but “{1}.xml” doesn’t work if I set the Shell=true, is there anyways to pause the console till I press any key? and also fix the open file issue?

You can also use the built-in build command:

self.view.window().run_command("exec", {"shell_cmd": "php {0} {1}.xml 1 && {1}.xml".format(file_name_php, file_name_xml)})

This will show the output inside sublime text.

Otherwise I would use something like:

subprocess.Popen('start cmd /c "php {0} {1}.xml 1 && {1}.xml && pause"'.format(file_name_php, file_name_xml), shell=True)
