A Sublime Text 2 plugin that automatically triggers a build operation each time you save a file.
SublimeOnSaveBuild is a plugin for Sublime Text 2 that automatically triggers a build operation every time you save a file. It is designed to speed up development workflows, especially for web projects using pre-processors like Less, Compass, or build tools. The plugin helps developers see changes immediately without manually running build commands.
Web developers using Sublime Text 2 who work with pre-processors (e.g., Less, SASS) or build tools and want to automate their build process. It is ideal for those who frequently save files and need instant feedback from builds.
Developers choose SublimeOnSaveBuild because it eliminates the manual step of triggering builds, saving time and reducing context switching. Its configurable filename filtering ensures builds only run for relevant files, preventing unnecessary operations and keeping the workflow efficient.
Trigger a build the moment you save a file in Sublime Text 2. Works best with web projects that make use of Less, Compass and any other pre-processor or a makefile.

Executes the configured build command automatically on every file save, eliminating manual steps as described in the README for faster iteration.
Uses a regular expression to only trigger builds for specific file types like CSS or JS, preventing unnecessary operations based on the default filename_filter setting.
Allows enabling or disabling the plugin per project via settings, offering flexibility as highlighted in the configuration options for tailored workflows.
Can be installed and updated through Package Control, simplifying setup and maintenance as detailed in the installation section.
Only compatible with Sublime Text 2, an older version, making it irrelevant for developers using modern editors like Sublime Text 3 or 4.
Automatically triggers builds on save, which can interrupt workflow for lengthy operations, a limitation the README explicitly warns about.
Does not provide built-in mechanisms for handling or notifying about build failures, which could lead to unnoticed errors in automated processes.
