Can't get a simple HTML build system to work...

[deathgaze]

I'm trying to fix Sublime Text so that when I hit F7 it simply opens the file in the default web browser. This operation works fine from the command line but gets screwed up by Sublime Text somehow.

What I did: Created and saved a new build system with the following contents:

Code: Select all

{
   "cmd": ["start", "$file"]
}


Easy peasy right? Not so fast. Every time I run it on an HTML file, ST throws up the following error:

Code: Select all

[Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
[cmd:  [u'start', u'D:\\Users\\bleepuser\\Documents\\code\\testhtml.html']]
[dir:  D:\Users\bleepuser\Documents\code]
[path: bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]
[Finished]

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working?

Edit: Pathing directly to a browser works fine, just not "start"? Weird...

I'm not sure, but try use

Code: Select all

${file}

What is 'start'? I must be missing something

Code: Select all

{
    "cmd": ["C:\\Users\\Andrew\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe", "$file"]
}
