SumatraPDF not being launched on Windows

[williamledoux]

• On Windows,
• Have SumatraPDF 1.7 my default PDF reader,
• Just downloaded and extracted LaTeXTools (9780bc4),
• Rebooted ST2 2097
• Pressed F7 on a .tex file
  • The viewer was not launched. No error popped out in the output (just Texification suceeded: no errors! [Done!])
  • While in the log we can find:

Windows, Calling Sumatra
Sumatra not running, launch it
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 267, in run_
File ".\viewPDF.py", line 18, in run
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

• Add the "--run-viewer" option into the windows texify cmd of the LaTeX.sublime-build file.
  • It works, but I am not sure that's the expected way to do it.

adding ".get_tex_root" after getTeXRoot on line 18 of viewPDF.py seems to help.

You should not nee the --run-viewer option. Is Sumatra in your path?
Also, can you check the output of the console---not the output panel
that the plugin brings up? (It's ctrl+` on Windows, I believe) You
should see a message regarding a DDE request being sent to Sumatra.

Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,
In fact I think I found the bug and fixed it, see in my pull request.
It's my first contrib on github and I failed to make it clear that my pull
request was related to this bug. Sorry.
The error was something like 'module is not callable' on the line and file
where I made a diff.

Thanks a lot! As you can see, I just merged your patch. I think I introduced this bug when I merged in support for multi-file documents... Another contributor sent me a nice working set of patches, but I managed to mess up on viewPDF.py. A classic case of PEBCAK :-(
