Open a Grails project using TextMate

Question

I have created a simple grails application. When i ls the folder the following is what i get:

Ma-MacBook-Pro:library ma$ ls
application.properties  lib         test
grails-app      scripts         web-app
grailsw         src         wrapper
grailsw.bat     target

Now i want to open this project in TextMate so i can edit it. When i type mate . it says -bash: mate: command not found.

The TextMate version i am using is TextMate version 2.0-alpha.9501. My OS is OS X 10.9. Can some one tell me how i could open the project in TextMate

Answer 1

Not really a programming question... Anyway, here goes:

1. mate is not on your PATH. What does which mate return? (I'm guessing nothing...)
2. In Mac OS X graphical *.app applications (like TextMate would be) is opened with the open command. Try open /Applications/TextMate.app/ .

Answer 2

You have to install shell support first.

Open the Preferences, click on the tab named "Terminal". There's a little "Install" button.

If it does not work afterwards, your shell is misconfigured and you should add /usr/local/bin to your PATH environment variable.
