Developer tools - Editors?

[wmgilligan]

Once or twice a year I revisit this .... anyone have specific tools they use for coding mivascript?

I am looking for mac and windows tools / methods that allow for compiling from the editor if possible.

Suggestions? Ideas?

I use Sublime Text 3 and press ctrl-b to compile. I had to set it up to work in my dev environment but it works great. It gives me errors in a console window if something is wrong. I used to use Notetab Plus, used it for many years, but a few years ago I tried sublime and after a bit of a learning curve I was full into it. Miva corp supplies sublime packages for mvt and mv programming (in the "more" links on their docs page.)

Scot,
Any chance you could share your build? or share some suggestions for setting it up?

I have the cmd working, but I get "mvc: No input file specified
[Finished in 0.0s with exit code 1]" everytime

UPDATE. Here is what I have in the sublime build for future reference. This is working. I am sure others have more in theirs.

{
    "cmd": ["/usr/local/msc/bin/mvc","-B", "/usr/local/msc/builtins", "$file"],
    "working_dir": "$file_path"
}

Good, I'm glad you got it working because I can't figure out where that stuff is. When sublime text 2 upgraded all of my settings kind of disappeared and since it's working I haven't figured out the mystery.

I've been doing a lot of Node and JS lately and like using Visual Studio Code.

I don't have it set up for a Miva workflow, just thought I'd mention it.

Just updating this for future reference.... the "build" is located (on a mac) here: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages and the new updated build I have is: {
"cmd": ["/usr/local/msc/bin/mvc","-B", "/usr/local/msc/builtins", "-w", "all", "$file"],
"working_dir": "$file_path"
}

Anyone still maintaining a Miva sublime (or other editor) build, etc?

Hi wmgilligan ,

There is a Miva IDE plugin for Visual Studio Code that is actively maintained. I believe this is intended to replace the Sublime text package as it hasn't been updated in a few years.

Thanks for this. I am checking VSC out now. All seems good - except - where are the settings for the Miva IDE? and - once the IDE knows about the compiler - how do you compile a file?
I re-reading everything is appears this is just a highlighter? - compared to the sublime setup that is a highlighter, and will compile the code.
