This package comes with support for [http://atom.io/packages/atom-runner atom-runner] to let you compile scripts within Atom. Once atom-runner is installed, you can use the default shortcut <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd> to compile open scripts. Make sure to save new scripts before trying to compile them.
There are many ways to compile NSIS scripts in Atom. But before we go into detail, make sure makensis is in your PATH [http://superuser.com/a/284351/195953 PATH environmental variable].
 
As of v4.0.0 of this package, you can compile scripts without relying on third-party packages. To do so, select “NSIS: Save & Compile” from the command-palette or use the shortcut <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>M</kbd> (that's <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>M</kbd> on Windows.)

Extension Packages

You can further extend #nsis support in Atom.

Installation

Atom Package Manager (apm)

Install package from apm install language-nsis (or use the GUI)

Git

Change to the Atom package directory and clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/idleberg/atom-language-nsis.git language-nsis

Usage

Completion

With most commands, you can specify available options before completion. For instance, rather than completing RequestExecutionLevel and then specifying an option, you can directly choose RequestExecutionLevel user from the completion menu.

To complete compile time commands, variables or predefines, *leave out* special characters:

  • include completes to !include
  • INSTDIR completes to $INSTDIR
  • NSIS_VERSION completes to ${NSIS_VERSION}`

However, you have to type __LINE___ to complete to ${__LINE__}.

There are several special cases for your convenience:

  • MB_OK completes to MessageBox MB_OK
  • onInit completes to a Function .onInit block
  • LogicLib completes to !include "LogicLib.nsh"`

Building

There are many ways to compile NSIS scripts in Atom. But before we go into detail, make sure makensis is in your PATH PATH environmental variable.

As of v4.0.0 of this package, you can compile scripts without relying on third-party packages. To do so, select “NSIS: Save & Compile” from the command-palette or use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M (that's Shift+Alt+M on Windows.)

Third-party packages

In addition to that, you can choose from the following build packages to compile NSIS:
