Goto line on double click of build/test output w/ file & line #

[natefinch]

I have no idea if this is possible in VSCode (I would hope so)... but it's super handy to be able to just double click a build or test error in the output and jump to the right line in the editor so you can read the exact code. The filename and line number are right there in the output, so hopefully that's possible.

I never found a way to implement this, but the "Show Errors and Warnings" command is a decent substitute in the meantime.

@egamma Is there any way to set a problem matcher to use to cause links to appear in the file/line/col references that appear in the output window under a specific (in this case Go) output channel?

@lukehoban this is currently not possible sorry, we haven't connected problem matching with link detection. Currently we have some well known patterns we use to turn output into links, see
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/workbench/parts/output/common/outputWorker.ts#L72

If you have control over the output of the tool then you can tweak the output to match one of those patterns...

[edit] - sorry, didn't realize this was the -go repo. I created a new issue over here: microsoft/vscode#6217

The output from build, vet and linting is also sent to the Problems view from where they are clickable and would take you to the right file and line.

The output channel "Go" that gets the build/lint/vet output as been showing clickable links for a while.

With the latest update (0.6.56) to the Go extension, you can now get the same in the test output as well.
