Launching defold app from external text editor (and go back editor when app is closed)

The Defoldmine

I can add five pennies how it works in Defold Kit, since the topic allows. Maybe it will be as useful for someone else.

Windows

"FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT_FILE"

macOS

Check to see if Defold is already running:

pgrep -l Defold | awk '{ print $2 }'

Open an existing process:

osascript -e 'activate application "Defold"'

Create a new process:

open 'Applications/Defold.app' 'FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT_FILE'

Linux

But not sure if it works everywhere though… maybe it’s no better than xdotool, I just don’t know.

xdg-open "FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT_FILE"
