let sublimetext run last used build command

Question

As an example, there are two files, main.py and module.py , I could only run the project when main.py is in the current active tab window by Ctrl + B . However, a big amount of my code work is in module.py , after some modification of module.py , I have to switch to main.py to run and test my code, frequently switching to main.py is not convenient, I wonder if there is a way to run module.py when the current file in the active tab window is module.py rather than main.py .

Briefly, I have main.py and module.py opened in Sublime, after running main.py I switch to module.py , how to run main.py when the current file in the active tab window is module.py rather than main.py ?

I found a solution in this post , but that requires to configure manually, I expect there is a feature to remember last build command so that I can repeat last command by some shortcut. It would be welcome if someone can guide me to write some plugin to implement the feature.

Answer 1

The solution in the article you linked to (creating a custom build system that always runs main.py regardless of which file is focused) is the recommended solution. There is no built-in way to rerun the last build using the same file.

Sure, you could go through the time and effort to write a plugin, but why? The solution is right in front of you, and only requires you to put a couple of lines of JSON in your .sublime-project file.
