New build system error

[benk]

Hy there!

First of all, I’m very new at Sublime Text!
and i have an error while i try to compile java file.

I found a solution somewhere which basicly if i understand correctly creates a new build system so when i press ctrl + B it “compiles” the code and show it to me at the bottom.

Here is the code what I found.

{ “cmd”: [“javac”, “$file_name”,"&&",“start”,“cmd”,"/k",“java”, “$file_base_name”], “path”:“C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2\bin”, “shell”: true }

And whenever I press ctrl+B it gives me two errors

FIrst:

error: invalid flag:Usage: javac use --help for a list of possible options[Finished in 1.0s]

and the second:

error: invalid flag:
Usage: javac
use --help for a list of possible options
[Finished in 3.2s with exit code 2]
[cmd: [‘javac’, ‘’, ‘&&’, ‘start’, ‘cmd’, ‘/k’, ‘java’, ‘’]]
[dir: C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3]
[path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem;C:\Users\galan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;]

any help?

If you compare what cmd looks like in your build system versus what cmd looks like in the error message, you can see that where the build system says $file_name (which represents the current file), the output at the bottom says ''.

This is an indication that you created a brand new file but you didn’t save it first and give it a name on disk. So, when Sublime expands $file_name into the file name, the file doesn’t have one. The error message is essentially javac complaining that you didn’t give it a file.

If you save the file first manually once to give it a name, your problem should go away. You can turn on the option Tools > Save All on Build to have your changes saved automatically when you build; this option doesn’t try to save newly created files though, which is why you need to save manually first once.
