How to setup File Watcher for Slim in WebStorm?

Question

webstorm

We have a Slim templating engine and WebStorm IDE on Windows. The Slim plugin is installed, but it only adds syntax highlighting. From the documentation for Slim, I did not understand how to use the "slim --compile" command, so it is completely unclear how to create a rule for auto-compiling .slim files into .html files .

Answer 1

Answer 2

extension , it looks like this to me:

Answer 3

File Watcher settings in RubyMine should be suitable for PhpStorm (most likely for WebStorm)

I have such settings (html is saved in the same directory as slim source):

name: Slim
description: Renders Slim templates using the slimrb gem executable
program: C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.1.0\bin\slimrb.bat
arguments: -p $FilePath$ --trace
fileExtension: slim
checkSyntaxErrors: false
output: $FileDir$\$FileNameWithoutExtension$.html
outputFromStdout: true
