Build Not Working Correctly about stataeditor

[mcfibb]

There it is! Fantastic -- thank you! I think the issue actually may have been that I wasn't running the Command Prompt as an administrator. Here's to following directions better next time.

Seriously, many thanks.

Sorry I'm not very sure with the problem, and have not used Stata for a while. Would you please check a few things:

• Preference > Package Settings > StataEditor > Settings - User: is stata_path correct? stata_version correct? It should look like "stata_path": "C:/Program Files/Stata18/StataMP-64.exe",, depending your Stata version/installation path
• ctrl + ` to go to console, run line by line:

  import sublime
  import win32api
  
  settings_file = "StataEditor.sublime-settings"
  settings = sublime.load_settings(settings_file)  # Any error here?
  print(settings.get("stata_path"))                # Does it print your `stata_path` that you set above?
  
  win32api.WinExec(settings.get("stata_path"))     # Is your Stata opening?

Super help, thanks! I ran into an error on the import of win32api. Googled and saw someone with a similar issue, wherein Python 3.8 is the default for Sublime 4, not Python 3.3. I switched the version of Python in the command window and followed your steps again. Works as expected. I'll modify Sublime settings to default to 3.3.

Update: Still running into issues. I don't know if it's because the program requires 3.3 to be run, and if so, I can't figure out how to change that dependency, either in the StataEditor build file or the Python build file. Interestingly, I can get Stata to open, but code is not passed to it. Any ideas?

What's the error message now? (Or are there any errors or warnings when you run the stata code?)

Here's the output:

pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, xxxxx suggests that python cannot find stata in the registry. Can you do this to register the stata automation lib again?

[mcfibb]

Sure thing. Gimme a sec.
