No Build System for Mac Air 2020

#1

Hello,

New to programming. I can’t get the basic “Hello World” to run with Sublime. I keep getting the ‘No Build System’ error. I’ve follow the instructions in the Python Crash Course 2nd edition that I’m using and have also tried a number of things I’ve found online, all to no avail. I’m also using a new Mac so that isn’t helping as I’m not terribly familiar with it yet.

On the bottom right of the screen it does say ‘Python’ and Python3 has a checkmark on the list.

If there is a set of instructions for a beginner someone could point me to, or if it is a simple issue I’m missing, please let me know.

Thanks

If you have a build system named Python3, then you must have created your own custom sublime-build file. In such a case, the main reason for a No Build System error is that the sublime-build file won’t parse because it’s invalid JSON.

I would try shooting it through https://jsonlint.com/ to see if there are issues. You could also install PackageDev and look at the file in Sublime. It has enhanced syntax highlighting for various Sublime resource types and can generally show you where errors are.
