Will not work on windows

[phoenixperry]

I get this error on Build.

[Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
[cmd: [u'processing-java', u'--sketch=C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\Processing\basic.pde', u'--output=C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\Processing\basic\build-tmp', u'--run', u'--force']]
[dir: C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\Processing\basic]
[path: C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\processingTwo]
[Finished]

In sysdm.cpl I added the following to the environmental variables > User variables for phoenix
path = C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\processingTwo

Thoughts? I even tried spelling processing differently to make sure it wasn't some character issue.

hi pp, odd! does the command work in the normal os terminal? e.g. open CMD, go to the sketch folder, and run something like:
processing-java --sketch=C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\Processing\basic\basic.pde output=C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\Processing\basic\build-tmp --run --force ? it seems for me this is rather a non sublime text problem and a possible not working processing-java installation. please confirm. good luck! b

ah and please make sure that you sketch is inside a folder with the same name: basic/basic.pde ...

"C:\Users\phoenix\Documents\Processing\basic.pde" is definitely a non valid processing folder structure! :)

I had a similar problem recently.

The name of a folder in my build path had a space: 'conway life'. I renamed it to 'conway_life', as the command once run on the terminal would be malformed due to errant white-space.

Hope that helps anyone coming from Google!

hi alexander, thanks for sharing! do you know whether you can "mask" somehow the whitespaces in sublime/windows?

[alexanderlperez]

A simple solution? Use filenames without whitespace. Done and done.

+1
:)

FYI I never use spaces in file names and still was having the issue. I haven't tried your earlier solution yet - I don't use processing everyday (only as a rapid sketch tool). Next time I do, I'll let you know how it goes though with your fix.

Same [Error2] here, but windows restart solved it.

[MAKIO135]

i created a "Processing (Windows).sublime-build":
{
"path": "$file_path\temp",
"cmd": [
"C:\Users\Makio135\Downloads\processing-2.0b8\processing-java.exe",
"--sketch=$file_path",
"--output=$file_path/build",
"--force",
"--build",
"--run"]
}

You just need to edit the path to your processing-java.exe. Can be faster than add environment variables

@MAKIO135 thanks for sharing!

[MAKIO135]

thanks to you; got a few other propositions for processing-sublime but don't really know where to start, perhaps should fork the repo and submit merges? (not a pro githuber)

[b-g]

@MAKIO135 i added a link to your comment to the readme ... and yes please! would be nice to get some input from your side! but please don't do then in the very end just one huge everything or nothing pull request. i prefer small ones, so that we can have a discussion around particular things, rather then a complete restructuring of the whole bundle because you prefer a certain folder/naming structure etc.

good luck!

I try the sublime-build for windows from @MAKIO135 and I get some "character escaping" error, so I change it like this to make it works:

{
"path": "$file_path\\temp",
"cmd": [
"C:\\Users\Makio135\\Downloads\\processing-2.0b8\\processing-java.exe",
"--sketch=$file_path",
"--output=$file_path/build",
"--force",
"--build",
"--run"]
}

Thanks anyway!

Dear gentelmen,

I have carefully read your posts, but unfortunately did not understand how to solve the same problem.

I have the following message in Sublime Text 2:

"[Error 2]
[cmd: [u'processing-java', u'--sketch=', u'--output=/build-tmp', u'--run', u'--force']]
[dir: C:\Windows\System32]
[path: C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0]
[Finished]"

What does it mean?

Please, could you explain to me, as a child, :) what step by step I need to take to solve the problem with preocessing-java.

I have:
Windows 8.1 x64
The latest version Processing x 32 and Sublime Text 2 x64

I would be very grateful for any help and tips!
