"The current file can not be used for testing"

#1

Hi, I am a beginner of Sublime Text 3 and using it to compile latex or do stata codes using latextools and stata enhanced.

I installed ST3 (3.1.1. Build 3176) and latextools to my mac (10.14.4) a few weeks ago and was using it nicely. However, it suddenly has stopped working by making the following error when I build the latex file.

The current file can not be used for testing since it is not loaded by Sublime Text.
This is usually caused by a file not located in, or symlinked to, the Packages folder.

This is weird because my package folder is in local foder, not something like symlinked or dropbox folder. (/Users/myname/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/LaTeXTools)

I also try to build other codes for stata using stata enhanced, which was working until a few days ago, and now it also causes the same error. Therefore, the problem seems not specific to latextools, more general one.

Could you help me to fix this error?

sounds like your build system is set incorrectly. Try the Tools menu -> Build System -> Automatic, then try to build your file again

Thanks a lot, it works now! I cannot think of the reason why it was working and suddenly stop working though.
