Log Linker

Log Linker is an extension for Visual Studio Code that recognizes log files and converts source file names (e.g. .cpp, .ttcn3) into clickable links. When you ctrl+click on a file name, it opens directly in the workspace, at the specified line in the log. Also helps to easily highlight text in the logs.

✨ Features

1. Log Linker

• Recognizes log files with the extensions .out and .k3.txt (configurable).
• Finds matches of type file.cpp:line or file.ttcn3:line in logs.
• Makes filenames clickable.
• On Ctrl+Click:
  • searches for the file in the workspace;
  • opens it at the indicated line;
  • if the log is opened in split view, the file opens in the opposite side.

2. Text highlights:  text select the text + right click → Toggle Highlight

⚙️ Configuration

The extension offers two settings that can be customized in settings.json:

{
  // File extensions treated as logs
  "logLinker.logFileExtensions": [".out", ".k3.txt"],

  // Source file extensions recognized in logs
  "logLinker.supportedExtensions": [".hpp", ".cpp", ".ttcn3"]
}

🔧 Known issues

• File will always open on the right-most window-split. Or will create one.
• If you have 2 files in your workspace with exactly the same name, it may not open the correct file. You can easily spot this because you will not see the log instruction.
