aptana studio 3 path variables

I need to edit the path variables for a project in Aptana Studio 3 but the edit button is greyed out. I mistakenly (unknowingly!) deleted the directories that the PARENT_LOC and WORKSPACE_LOC path variables point to. Now Apatana gives me an error when trying to autosave. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Solution

  • Those two locations are automatically set to wherever your project's workspace is located.

    To change where the workspace is located you need to set Aptana to prompt you for a workspace location when you start it:

    1. In Apatana:
      Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Prompt for workspace on startup: Checked
      You can type workspaces in the searchbox and hit Enter to get there quicker.
      Aptana 3 Workspaces Preferences
    2. Restart Aptana and it will prompt you for where you want the workspace located.
    3. Choose or create a new location for the workspace.
