Somehow, it complains about tests failures. Is there a log some place
to see what the plugin does not like. I provided all the executable
paths, still no success. If run rebar eunit from the command line all
works as expected. How does one troubleshoot this?

Never used Sublime Text 2 before, and at $60 it seems pricey for a mostly-text editor, but that depends on what it does, and I will not have a chance to give it a try for a few days. I run a Debian type Linux distribution, and considering that are its features up to par? Why would I use Sublime Text 2 over Eclipse/ErlIDE or so? I really, like really cannot stand Eclipse, tends to start eating a few gigs of memory then saying it is out of handles then just kind of vanishes after a time (on windows, linux, multiple variations of each, no plugins installed, multiple java versions, etc...), so looking for a replacement would be nice. The code-completion alone is the one of the largest reasons I do not use Emacs (yes I know Emacs has code completion but it is rather clunky), and Eclipse code completion is not very quick (cannot keep up with my typing speed), and it appears to have tabbed support, so I am curious what else is there that makes it a good replacement, such as does it handle any sort of code loading, debugging, etc... (or is it just a rather expensive text editor with code completion)?
Or does anyone else know of a good Erlang IDE replacement for ErlIDE, Eclipse itself just has far too many issues to use well... _______________________________________________ erlang-questions mailing list erlang-questi...@erlang.org http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions

This gets a little out of topic, but you might want to know that we
are working hard to improve the response time for Erlide and the plan
is to get a new engine somewhere at the end of the summer. Also, the
completion uses Ctrl-Space instead of tab; you can bind another key
like Tab but that may disable other functionality and you need to do
it for every new workspace.
Regarding Eclipse as a memory and resources hog, I fully agree. It's
far from optimal, but for me the advantages are balancing this. I will
confess that part of these advantages are things that I am planning to
implement, so I am aware that few others have the same attitude :-)

I look forward to seeing ErlIDE grow, but I still hate hitting Ctrl+Space to bring up completion, I like it automatic (too used to other IDEs) and fast enough to keep up with my typing (that can well exceed 100wpm at times, not so much in programming, but when the interfaces freezes for a second that just kills the 'flow', Eclipse problem, not ErlIDE). But still, just using Eclipse for Java work, with no secondary plugins installed at all, just what comes with it, Eclipse eventually *always* dies in the above situation I stated, and it still does with ErlIDE, or C++, or a few other things I tried. Eclipse is horrendously unstable for long-term use. Netbeans has always been stable for me for Java work, but the tools I use for Java do not support it, for Erlang I mostly use emacs (again, code completion issues there, and more), I use KDevelop for C++ (Visual Studio with the Visual Assist plugin installed in the past, Visual Assist is such bliss, I wish it supported KDevelop, or really anything that runs on linux).
I am pretty sure I know why Eclipse dies, it seems to be related to its process spawning for debugging leaking handles, if I use Eclipse without ever debugging (so basically not using it beyond as a text editor) then I have ran it for a week without it crashing.
Thus brings me to really looking toward a KDevelop level IDE for C++, but for Erlang. I want real-time code completion that keeps up with how I type, tabs, being able to see multiple tabs at once, debugging utilities (tracing things for Erlang specific debugging would be *amazing*), and so forth few other things as the very basics.

Hence I have hope for this SublimErl, if it can become a wonderfully response little IDE for Erlang with the above features, even with its cost I would buy and use the parent program. :)
<offtopic> If you have ideas for fixing Eclipse so it is actually stable for once, and I have tried a *lot* so far, I would be happy to try. </offtopic> _______________________________________________ erlang-questions mailing list erlang-questi...@erlang.org http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions
