Reload Plugin

Reload Plugin is a ... plugin that reloads your Sublime Text's plugins. As you probably know, Sublime Text doesn't load the .py files that are more than 2 folders deep (your package folder, if it's deeper, it's ignored).

Usage

Just add a listener in your package:

import sublime
import sublime_plugin
import os

class MyPluginDevListner(sublime_plugin.EventListner):

    def on_post_save(self, view):
        if not (os.path.dirname(__file__) in view.file_name() and
            view.file_name().endswith('.py')):
            return
        sublime.run_command('reload_plugin', {
            'main': os.path.join(sublime.packages_path(), 'MyPlugin',
                                 'MyPlugin.py')
            'scripts': ['functions.py'] # at the root of your plugin,
            'folders': ['my_plugin_commands'] # all the files will be relaoded
            'times': 2 # default value: 2,
            'quiet': True # prevent default output in the console
        })

By default, it reloads everything twice to make sure that your dependencies are reloaded. If you have imported-importing-from-imported script or something a bit nested, you might want to increase it.

Note: The .py in the script name is optional.

A little tip: if you put this command in your main file, you can use the __file__ variable ('main': __file__')

Install

Using git

cd "%APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Packages"             # on window
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3 # on mac
cd ~/.config/sublime-text-3                        # on linux

git clone https://github.com/math2001/sublime-plugin-reloader reload_plugin

Using Package Control

Because it is not available on package control for now, you have to add this repo "manually" to your list.

1. Open up the command palette (ctrl+shift+p), and find Package Control: Add Repository. Then enter the URL of this repo: https://github.com/math2001/sublime-plugin-reloader in the input field.
2. Open up the command palette again and find Package Control: Install Package, and just search for reload_plugin. (just a normal install)
