Is it possible to run cargo build from opened Cargo.toml?

[pravic]

Currently I need to open some .rs file to access Cargo build commands from Sublime despite of I already have Cargo.toml file opened.

Quick search pointed me to the selector property of build description. Is it possible to place 2 selectors there, like source.rust|source.toml?

Currently as a workaround I copied Cargo.sublime-build as CargoToml.sublime-build with source.toml selector in there, because it seems that "Build System -> Cargo" command is global-wide in Sublime, not syntax-specific.

Sublime Text Version

Sublime Text 3 (Build 3131)

Rust Enhanced Version

1.3.1

cc #165 - it would be great to have such feature there.

Another workaround is to not use the "Automatic" build detection. In Tools > Build System, pick the build system to use, and it will be sticky (saved in the workspace).

saved in the workspace

Which one workspace?

@pravic no reason why not, funnily enough it actually used to be the other way around. It only ran if you was in a .cargo file, so I changed it to only rust files. That was a few years back.

@ehuss I do like using "Automatic Build Detection", so maybe this is something we can look into.
I could be wrong but i think .sublime-build files only accept 1 selector, but i would have to look into the sublime dev docs.

@pravic The .sublime-workspace file contains the current state of your project (which files are open, etc.). If you save a sublime-project, it automatically also saves a workspace. See https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/projects.html for more info.

@Jayflux I think you can have multiple selectors with a comma (such as "source.rust,source.toml").
