How to get currently open project path

[burn]

Hey guys,

I couldn't find anything regarding this in the APIs. Can someone tell me if it's possible to:

a) Determine if a project is currently open
b) If so, retrieve its root's path

Cheers,

Burn

The API is rather limited in regards to project support.

To determine whether a project has been loaded, you may trap the onProjectLoad event. I don't think you can tell what project file has been loaded, though.

Too bad I really wanted to get all Tortoise (svn/git) options in a quickSelect panel, I guess I'll have it only work per file for now, and stick to global shortcuts for the rest, there I can get the $ProjectDir. Hope we'll get more access to information in the APIs later on.

I recently created a TortoiseSVN plugin that is on the community wiki. I only use key bindings/menus for now, but I think converting it to use a quickpanel would be nice. I really just use $ProjectDir right in my bindings. Actually, the plugin is ONLY bindings, so thats why I don't have the issue you are experiencing. It would be nice to have access to all the same sublime vars from within plugin code thought too.

a) Determine if a project is currently open
b) If so, retrieve its root's path

"window.project()" will tell you if a project is open
"window.project().fileName()" will tell you its path

I don't think it's documented, so it's possible it changes in the future.
Anyways, you can get more hidden info like that by introspecting variables. Try "dir(window)" and "dir(window.project())"

Cool! I was too lazy to check. Also, looking into Packages/Default may help to learn other undocumented API calls.

Just re-asking here for this thread was more discussed than the previous one: does anyone know the project() was changed for Sublime 2? I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in the window instances anymore...

From what I can tell, the only project information available in the api is window.folders(), which gives you a list of the project folders.

Right. But if you're working on a project which its containing folder is not in your sublime-project file, then you still can't know the path of your project.
