    <p>I'm trying to write a tiny plugin to delete the current file and close the active view. For some reason self.view.file_name() always returns None.</p> <p>I'm new to Python and I've no idea why it doesn't work like this. According to the <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/api_reference.html#sublime.View" rel="nofollow">API Reference</a> file_name() returns the file name of the current view.</p> <pre><code>import sublime, sublime_plugin, send2trash class DeleteCurrentFileCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand): def run(self, edit): f = self.view.file_name() if (f is None): return send2trash.send2trash(f) self.view.window().run_command('close') </code></pre> <p>Output of dir(self.view):</p> <blockquote> <p>['<strong>class</strong>', '<strong>delattr</strong>', '<strong>dict</strong>', '<strong>doc</strong>', '<strong>format</strong>', '<strong>getattribute</strong>', '<strong>hash</strong>', '<strong>init</strong>', '<strong>len</strong>', '<strong>module</strong>', '<strong>new</strong>', '<strong>reduce</strong>', '<strong>reduce_ex</strong>', '<strong>repr</strong>', '<strong>setattr</strong>', '<strong>sizeof</strong>', '<strong>str</strong>', '<strong>subclasshook</strong>', '<strong>weakref</strong>', 'add_regions', 'begin_edit', 'buffer_id', 'classify', 'command_history', 'em_width', 'encoding', 'end_edit', 'erase', 'erase_regions', 'erase_status', 'extract_completions', 'extract_scope', 'file_name', 'find', 'find_all', 'find_all_results', 'find_by_selector', 'fold', 'folded_regions', 'full_line', 'get_regions', 'get_status', 'get_symbols', 'has_non_empty_selection_region', 'id', 'indentation_level', 'indented_region', 'insert', 'is_dirty', 'is_folded', 'is_loading', 'is_read_only', 'is_scratch', 'layout_extent', 'layout_to_text', 'line', 'line_endings', 'line_height', 'lines', 'match_selector', 'meta_info', 'name', 'replace', 'retarget', 'rowcol', 'run_command', 'scope_name', 'score_selector', 'sel', 'set_encoding', 'set_line_endings', 'set_name', 'set_read_only', 'set_scratch', 'set_status', 'set_syntax_file', 'set_viewport_position', 'settings', 'show', 'show_at_center', 'size', 'split_by_newlines', 'substr', 'syntax_name', 'text_point', 'text_to_layout', 'unfold', 'viewport_extent', 'viewport_position', 'visible_region', 'window', 'word']</p> </blockquote>

    2. CONo. The check for `(f is None)` is always true and therefore it returns before it reaches `send2trash()`. Without checking the `send2trash()` call fails. When I execute `view.file_name()` in the console it returns the correct path.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
