Re: [gedit-list] Navigating to a file/line from the Shell Output

[Esko Luontola <esko luontola gmail com>]

It appears that when the file name is printed as 
"<newline>filename:linenumber:" (i.e. first thing in the line and a : 
follows it immediately) then it can be clicked. But that is not flexible 
enough for me.


Here is an example of the output that my testing framework produces:

*** Expected: equals “36”
         got: “35”
    gospec/examples._func_010()
        at /home/orfjackal/devel/gospec/examples/fib_test.go:37


And here is an example of the stack traces that the programming 
language's runtime produces:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

panic PC=0x2b79d4acc148
runtime.panic+0x7c /home/orfjackal/go/src/pkg/runtime/proc.c:1012
	runtime.panic(0x2b7900000000, 0x405df4)
panicstring+0x60 /home/orfjackal/go/src/pkg/runtime/runtime.c:83
	panicstring(0x47e450, 0x2b79d4b623e0)
sigpanic+0x84 /home/orfjackal/go/src/pkg/runtime/linux/thread.c:285
	sigpanic()
gospec._func_106+0xac 
/home/orfjackal/devel/gospec/src/gospec/execution_model_test.go:20
	gospec._func_106(0x0, 0x48d300)
nanospec.*aSpec·Execute+0x21 
/home/orfjackal/devel/nanospec.go/src/context.go:100
	nanospec.*aSpec·Execute(0x2b79d4b637e0, 0x499e58, 0x4445c9, 0x2b79d4b63810)
...


I would need the file paths and line numbers in all of those to be 
clickable.
