Does Sublime Text 3 keep a command log? If so, where can I find it

sublime-text-2sublime-text-3

I use Sublime Text 3 and can open Sublime command line with command CTRL + `

… and I can run commands there and see results in a log window, but I cannot search in that log window.

sublime command line and log

I believe the log text of the Sublime log window also exists somewhere in file system. If I can find that log file, I can open it with vim (or similar) and search there.

My question: Where is the log file stored? I can copy/paste this log to new file and search there, but that would be a frustrating extra step.

My OS is OS X 10.8.5

I searched /Users/maks/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3 but nothing found.

This is my directory output.

Makss-Mac:Sublime Text 3 maks$ ls
Cache           Installed Packages  Packages
Index           Local

No, use this: yrammos / SublimeLog

From README

Sublime Text 2 and 3 provide a console (accessible via Control-`) for interaction with their Python-based innards and plug-in architecture. This plug-in logs the console contents into a plain-text file ornamented with logger activation/deactivation timestamps.

Sublime text 2 command create link but the command is empty

If you don't want to use Sublime Text 3 yet, which has a lot of differences from Sublime Text 2, and is still in beta, here's how to fix your problem. Just run each of these commands (in order) from Terminal and you should be all set:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/subl

This will remove whatever subl links are in /usr/local/bin. Then:

sudo ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin

This recreates the link to the proper location. Make sure you run the command exactly as I typed it, or it won't work. I'll explain why in a moment. Finally, restart Terminal and enter:

subl

to make sure the process worked.

The reason your

sudo ln -s "/Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl

command didn't work was because you included the Applications/... path in quotes " and also escaped the spaces using a backslash \. You should do one or the other, but not both. My command above just uses \ to escape the spaces. When you use quotes, each character in the string is included literally, including the \ characters. This is why the file was blank when you opened it in vim - it was pointing to a path that didn't exist.

By the way, while you can open /usr/local/bin/subl in vim, I wouldn't recommend it because it's a binary executable file, so you'll just get garbage on your screen.

Good luck!

Windows – Sublime Text 3 : Can’t find installed packages

Sublime Text 3 uses .sublime-package zip files to store packages. In Windows, they are stored in AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages. The easiest way to deal with them is to install the PackageResourceViewer plugin via Package Control. Once installed, it gives you Command Palette options to view, edit, and extract packages. For example, in your case, hit CtrlShiftP to open the Command Palette, then type prv to bring up the PackageResourceViewer options. Select PackageResourceViewer: Open Resource, navigate to SASS Build, then select SASS.sublime-build from the menu. Make any changes you want and save the file - it will now be located in AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Packages/SASS Build/SASS.sublime-build, and will override the default version in the .sublime-package.

Please note that any files you extract in this way will not be updated when Package Control updates the parent package, so only extract what you actually want to edit. PackageResourceViewer has an option to extract an entire package at once, so just be aware of what will happen if you do that.

Good luck!
