What directory is 'pythonbuild.py' located in and what was the working
directory when you ran the CLI command?
has always been in /home/joe I am running the CLI from there also
the working directory is dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino which is relative
to my ~ location. The abs path of the working directory would be /home/joe/dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino
If your command is 'python pythonbuild.py
dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino' then it must be executed in the
directory that contains 'pythonbuild.py' since the path is given
relative to the working directory (and so is
'dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino' but we havn't gotten to it yet :).
yes, that is true
Geany commands (by default) run with a working directory that is the
directory of the current file displayed in the edit area, you can
change this in the "working directory" column of the "set build
commands" dialog to make it a fixed location such as the directory
where 'pythonbuild.py' lives.
so your saying move pythonbuild to my working directory, correct ?
Ok, I will try that. So maybe the problem is the there is no way for the working
directory to get to reference the up stream directory ? as in its ok to drill down but
not up ?? I will try try moving the *.py file to the working directory.
Yes, so the working directory is just use %d%f so the whole thing in Geany
python home/joe/pythonbuild.py %d/%f
but I get Invalid working directory "/home/joe/dev/Arduino/4X20OLED/4X20OLED.ino"
