Troubleshooting Problems Opening COFFEE Files
Issues Opening COFFEE Files
Sublime Text Not Present
When trying to open your COFFEE file, you get the error "Can't Open COFFEE File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Sublime Text for - installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your COFFEE because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your COFFEE file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Obsolete Version of Sublime Text
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a CoffeeScript Script file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Sublime Text installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your CoffeeScript Script file was created by a newer Sublime Text than what you have installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of COFFEE file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening COFFEE files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
