Unofficial LaTeXTools port to ST3

[phyllisstein]

I've been working with this plugin myself for a couple of weeks, and it seems to be stable at this point. It was---and is---my most-used Sublime package, so hopefully the minor fixes I included will ease the transition for others. You can find the Github repo here: https://github.com/phyllisstein/LaTeXTools/tree/st3

This is great! I have been waiting for this one! Are you going to sent to pull request to the main repro?

EDIT: Any chance to get the changes from this pull request in ST3?

I'll look into making those changes, but bear in mind that I don't know the code all that intimately: I just did some basic refactoring and added the trick with the temporary folder; the plugin on the whole is out of my current depth. I will, though, see what I can do.

Github is also something of a mystery to me, but I think I have to re-fork it and add a separate branch or something like that before submitting a pull request. I'll figure that one out, too, when I get a moment.

Great, thank you for taking the time and initiative!

I notice, though, that your trick with the temporary directory seems to break latex building if you rely on a local file (in my case already the document class, so nothing works). Would it be possible to make this trick optional? (Otherwise one would have to tweak *all* *INPUTS environment variables (for latex, bibtex bib, bibtex bst, etc.), which seems rather unfortunate.

I use LaTeXTools all the time, glad to see it work on ST3. I had to make one small change to make it run on Windows.

I've attached a patch even though it's only one line; not sure if that's the best thing to do.

Thanks for starting this port. On linux I found I had to rename a few occurances of 'LaTexTools' to 'LaTexTools3'. Now I press ctrl-B and I see my document - perfect

Is the intention for this plugin to be named LaTexTools or LaTexTools3?

[phyllisstein]

Hey all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but thanks for the feedback, testing, and fixes! I've adjusted things so that the temporary directory trick is no longer enabled by default, and added a setting to enable it along with a note explaining that paths will have to be specified absolutely, I've incorporated RazerM's fix for Windows, and I think I've rooted out the last couple of places where "LaTeXTools" wasn't changed to "LaTeXTools3". (As far as naming goes, I wanted it to be easily distinguishable from the ST2 version without diverting credit and kudos from the original authors, so I just jammed a "3" on there. Sort of a lazy solution, but.)

The Github repository has been updated; let me know if it breaks anything new!

I noticed another error, which isn't preventing compilation or launching Sumatra, but it is appearing in the console.

Appears to be a bug from the switch to Python 3, but I don't know enough about Python yet to fix it.

I'm not terrific with ctypes either, but try the commit from just now and see if that helps. You should just need to replace DDEExecute.py. Sorry I can't test it myself, but I don't have access to a Windows machine right now.

Yeah the error is gone now.
