Let’s kick-off the weekend with a small but important new feature:
You can now double-click in the Castle Game Engine editor “Output” list to open an editor at auto-detected file, with auto-detected line and column. Great to easily jump to the error message.
-
It can detect various message types — errors, warnings, notes, progress “compiling …” messages.
-
It can find units within your project or even CGE sources. So it’s great for CGE engine development too.
-
Not all editors support opening at particular line/column of the file: only VS Code and (if you specify a specific command in “Preferences”) your custom editor.
I already submitted a feature request to Lazarus to make it also possible there. You watch it / upvote (“thumbs up”) on GitLab.
You can configure Emacs as a “custom editor” to handle this:
emacs +${LINE}:${COLUMN} ${PAS}
(put this as “Open Pascal file at line/column” in preferences).You can configure Notepad++ as a “custom editor” to handle this:
notepad++ -n${LINE} -c${COLUMN} ${PAS}
(put this as “Open Pascal file at line/column” in preferences).
