'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Hi there,

I am a user of Geany for Python. One day I encountered an error when I run the software: '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, no matter what is the code even though print("Hello world"). I tried to reinstall the software and reboot the computer but the error shows up all the time. It was running perfectly before this happened.

Try running Geany with a new configuration, on Linux geany -c /tmp/something_that_does_not_exist

If that fixes it you have modified something in your configuration and need to unmodify it. Note re-installing won't change your config, you need to either delete it and set up again, or find what you broke (probably a build command). Which is easier will depend on how much you have changed in the config.

Given the error message, I'd wager you're on Windows. So the configuration is somewhere around C:\Users\YourName\Roaming\geany or something like that (not being a Windows user myself it's a rough guess)

Yes, I am using Windows and solved the issue by following your comments. It is because of the configuration. Even though I tried to reload configuration from the TOOLS at the beginning which did not solve the problem. This time what I did was locate to the Roaming\geany folder and delete the geany.conf file and it's working perfectly. Thanks a lot
