Can't send input to running program in Sublime Text (5 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I use Sublime Text 2 but it won't let me enter any value when my code asks for
user input. (In other words: input()
in Python and gets
in Ruby fail to
correctly prompt me for input).
Python throws an EOFError
error (what you get when user doesn't enter
anything).
Simply USER INPUT isn't working in Sublime Text 2 for me.
EDIT: FOR EXAMPLE
try:
text = input('Enter something: ')
print text
except EOFError:
print('\nEOFError')
=> Enter something: #cannot enter anything to var "text"
=> EOFError
=> [Finished]
Answer
Sublime text doesn't support that. But you can get around it (at least in python) by using SublimeREPL, I use this for everything, it works pretty great. Its a little cooky though, as the tab is still editable like a normal sublime tab (which is good and bad)...
It also allows you to run the interpreter in multiple tabs, its basically awesome.
To install it you need package control
this lets you easily install plugins.
To get it go
here, and
follow the instructions. Once thats done:
- in Sublime press
ctrl
+shift
+P
(linux command inST
for 'goto anything'). - Type in 'install',
- click on 'sublime package control: install package'.
- Then select
SublimeREPL
. It will install it automatically. - To use it go to
Tools>sublimerepl>python
from the menus.
To make the default build system SublimeREPL, you can follow these [instructions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19732006/how-to-run-python- code-on-sublimerepl/23722631#23722631).
