IDE Update

Created: 2017.06.01

Lately I've been enjoying the ES6 tutorials from the cheery Wes Bos. He has a great workflow, so I decided to do something about my own, which was feeling a bit rough around the edges.

Sublime Upgrade

So today I decided to address some long standing inefficiencies in my own workflow, using his Uses page as a guide to reliable modern technologies.

After upgrading to Sublime 3 beta, I installed various completions plugins. I couldn't handle Wes's bright blue Cobalt 2 theme, but Solarized Dark fit my mood.

Sadly I couldn't find a package for Wes's cool CSS to HTML convertor.

But at some point I decided to find something to run my gulp tasks from within Sublime Text 3.

Gulp

The Gulp package quickly sorted that, but I got errors when trying to use it.

After reinstalling the Gulp CLI as a global, I installed the SublimeFixMacPath fix mentioned in the README.md. This solved the issue and now I am markedly more efficient, eg:

  1. Tools
  2. Gulp
  3. List Tasks to Run
  4. Click on the task
  5. Boom!
  6. Results appear in the Sublime console

No more losing my place by switching to Terminal, to run the task, then to see whether it ran successfully.
