This is a newbie question, but I just can’t figure this out.
How can I set a command to open specific Corona SDK project (main.lua -file)?

Hi,
if you click the small arrow next to the Execute Command
you can choose Edit Commands
and add your command there
You can put whatever command you want there then.

Thanks to all!
Yes that is exactly what I’ve tried, but I’m missing something. I used the following command that works when using terminal, but when I execute it using from Tiled, I get “The command failed to start”:
open -a /Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona\ Simulator.app /Users/user/Desktop/project/main.lua
Hi,
please check @bjorn’s link:
It says:
On Mac, remember that Apps are folders, so you need to run the
actual executable from within the Contents/MacOS folder:
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit %mapfile
That might be your issue. (No Mac here to test).

Thanks Ablu!
I’ve read the wiki and tried the following commands with MacOS:
open -a /Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona\ Simulator.app /Users/user/Desktop/project/main.lua
/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona\ Simulator.app
/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona\ Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Corona\ Simulator
Wiki doesnt say if “open” is needed. The first runs fine when using terminal. And if I want to execute a project file, I’m not sure do I have to write %path or what is the logic how executed program should find the file if it is not in the same folder.
I’m sorry. It must be my english, 'cause I think that I can’t tell you correctly what is my question. I think that if someone could just give me an another example how I can run a command that executes a specific application with specific file, like this (pseudo example: run /Apps/Corona-application /game/main.lua)
Sorry… I never used OS X. So I have no idea how to do this there…
Well, I noticed that the Corona project loads automatically on Corona Simulator if one of the project document is saved, I can manage without Tiled’s Command Button. In Tiled I just hit CTRL/CMD+E and voila
Try /usr/bin/open
instead of just open
I’m going to necro this this thread in case it helps someone. That path to Simulator.app is almost certainly the problem. It has a back slash and whitespace in it.
Try this instead (notice the quotes):
open -a "/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona Simulator.app" /Users/user/Desktop/project/main.lua
