Error6 while trying to use sublime text to msbuild
msbuild, sublimetext, sublimetext2
Solution
Turns out that this happens whenever you start sublime from command line ( I was starting it via a powershell alias).
You can fix this by using a batch file and the START command. I created sublime_text.bat:
START "Sublime Text 2" "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe" %*
and set my powershell alias to that bat file. Now everything works.
Problem
I'm trying to use msbuild with my sublime project. I created the build file suggested here and the following is my project file ``` { "folders": [ { "path": "/W/MyOrg/MyApp", "folder_exclude_patterns": ["_ReSharper.*", "bin", "obj"] } ] } ``` I select the msbuild40 build system and hit `Build` and get the output: ``` [Error 6] The handle is invalid [Finished] ``` I'm not even sure if this is a python or an msbuild error. Which is it, how can I fix it, and whats a good way to troubleshoot this sort of stuff in the future? Update I tried updating my project to the following and using that build and still no dice ``` { "folders": [ { "path": "/W/MyOrg/MyApp", "folder_exclude_patterns": ["_ReSharper.*", "bin", "obj"] } ], "build_systems": [ { "name": "msbuild", "cmd": ["c:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\MSBuild.exe", "w:\\MyOrg\\MyApp\\MyApp.sln"] } ] } ```
