This article covers the steps to setup Sublime Text to execute Groovy scripts. Step 1
Create a new file viz.
groovy.sublime-build and put the following JSON content in there. Replace the path to groovy.bat with the right one on your machine.
{
"cmd": ["C:\\groovy-2.4.12\\bin\\groovy.bat","$file"],
"selector": "source.groovy"
}
Step 2
Save this file to the following location. The location may vary based on where Windows is installed and the login id.
C:\Users\{{youruserid}}\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\
Step 3
Close and Reopen Sublime Text.
Step 4
To run the groovy script, open the .groovy file in Sublime Text. While it's in the active view, select [ Tools->Build System->groovy ] or [ Tools->Build System->Automatic ] and press
Ctrl+B. This will execute the script and output the results on the Sublime Text console.
Some explanation for the above:
In Sublime Text, Build System can be created for any script by creating a file with .sublime-build extension. This file holds the instructions to execute a script. These instructions are in JSON format. On a restart, the filename will be shown under Tools->Build System.
The
"selector" in the sublime-build, is required only if you want Sublime Text to identify the Build System in Automatic mode. It indicates the extension of the file for which the current sublime-build should be executed.
