Format error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

[riverofjanuary]

Getting this error when using the Format Code command on any file. Installed the very latest version via package control with no problems.

Exact same problem.

Anyone got a solution yet?

Just uninstalled it. Seems like a crappy addon...

I was having the same problem only while trying to format PHP code on Windows 10, Sublime Text Build 3126.

Fixed it by configuring the correct path to the PHP executable in the package settings. This line to be exact:

"php_path": "/your/path/goes/here", // Path for PHP executable, e.g. "/usr/lib/php" or "C:/Program Files/PHP/php.exe". If empty, uses command "php" from system environments

One of my problems was that another modal dialog was open (in my case, the nagware to buy ST3). I didn't see it, but once I closed it the command worked.

@invasoria Thanks Ivan, that really works.
You need to install PHP if you don't have one on your Windows 10.

Deleting JSLint package solved the problem for me.
