Alt-shift-D doesn't work for .litcoffee or .coffee.md

[tdsfugal]

Alt-shift-d (compile and display) works fine on plain old .coffee files, but doesn't display the transpiled .js for literate coffeescript. Literate coffee script (.litcoffee and .coffee.md) files seem to compile and run just fine. Am I doing something wrong?

BTW - excellent plugin. Alt-shift-D is a fantastic productivity boost.

(Using better coffee script in Sublime Text 2 on osX 10.9.5.)

Can you confirm that your code is indented 4 spaces, and that the Syntax for the litcoffee file is "CoffeScript (Literate)"?

[tdsfugal]

Yes on both counts.

• Tabs are set to 2, and I start all code with double tabs, so 4 spaces minimum for all code.
• View -> Indentation -> "Indent using Spaces" is checked.
• Have run "convert indentation to spaces" on all files.
• View -> Syntax -> Better Coffeescript checked on "CoffeeScript (Literate)"
• Files are all *.litcoffee

Alt-shift-D used to open up a new unsaved window with the Javascript. Is that what it is supposed to do with .litcoffee? In other words, am I looking for the wrong thing?

From the sound of it, what you have should give you what you're looking for. Do you see any errors or output in your console when you hit alt+shift+d?

in simple test project with almost exact same setup as @tdsfugal except I'm using Sublime Text 3.

Hi @iainhouston, do you have coffeescript installed and have its install location set in the binDir? If you follow the steps in the FAQ, this may help to diagnose or resolve the issue

[iainhouston]

Yes, it was the binDir setting. I didn't scroll far enough down the README. Please accept my apologies and my thanks for your patient reply. .

Happy to help, @iainhouston! Happy coding! 🍻
