10426 :: Sublime and Nim

• DeletedUser (orginal) [2023-08-22T13:08:08+02:00] view original

  Hello to all

  I have just installed NimPlus --as per github instructions-- within Sublime Text 4.

  At this point I have to say that I have installed nim using ChooseNim -in a Linux system (in fact, after a fresh installation.

  When I try to compile/run a source nim file (e.g., test.nim, which contains just an echo) I get:

  
  [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'nim'
  [cmd: ['nim', 'r', '/home/$USER/Nim_LP/test.nim']]
  [dir: /home/$USER/Nim_LP]
  [path: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin]
  [Finished]
  Run

  Any ideas? By the way, using terminal, i.e.,

  
  $ nim c -r test.nim
  Run

  everything is OK.

  Thank you.

  You need to add Nim to your PATH globally (not in .bashrc/.zshrc). Add this line to the ~/.profile:

  
  export PATH="$HOME/.nimble/bin:$PATH
  Run

  then logout or reboot.

  That should work for Ubuntu/Debian/Arch-based distros. For OpenSUSE - instead, edit file '/etc/profile.local'

  Hello and thank you. But, there is something which I do not understand. Using the terminal I can compile and run nim from any directory; thus it is already in my PATH (also, I use the fish shell). So, I do not think that this is the problem, unless the default terminal of Sublime uses bash ... I give it a try anyway

  Actually, it was that! Thank you very much!

  Don't quote me on that, but as I understand: you previously added '~/.nimble/bin' to your PATH in some config file for fish shell (e.g. '.fishrc').

  This file is sourced (loaded) when you start a shell session or launch a gui program from terminal. So, when a program is started not from a terminal, it doesn't source this file, thus it sees the default unmodified PATH.

  "~/.profile" is instead sourced at startup by your system, so it should affect all programs regardless of where you launching them from.
