Features
The motivation to create this extension was to solve the following problem:
- The source files are e.g. in the directory
${workspaceFolder}/src/myapp
- This directory has a symlink to
${workspaceFolder}/build/app/myapp
- The directory
${workspaceFolder}/build/app/myapp is excluded from VS Code searches to avoid duplicating search results.
- Source files are added to the build scripts from the
${workspaceFolder}/build/app/myapp directory.
- For example, the application is compiled in
${workspaceFolder}/bin/myapp/debug
If you compile such a code and the compiler throws an error, the terminal will say for example:
../../../build/app/myapp/main.c:10:5: Some error message.
This file will not be clickable in the terminal because ${workspaceFolder}/build/app/myapp is excluded from the search.
Extension Settings
The following settings causes the file will be opened at ${workspaceFolder}/src/myapp/main.c:10:5
Add the following settings to your ${workspaceFolder}.vscode/settings.json:
"overwriteTerminalFileLink" :
{
"overwrite" : {
"^(\\.\\.\/)*build\\/app": "src"
},
"fileLineColPatterns" : [
{
// VC++ - 'path/to/file.c(123): message'
"pattern": "(^.*)\\((\\d+)\\):\\s.*$",
"file": 1,
"line": 2
},
{
// gcc - 'path/to/file.c:123:13: message'
"pattern": "(^.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s?.*$",
"file": 1,
"line": 2,
"col": 3
}
]
}
