Linking to files in CF error messages

[Russ Johnson]

I just blogged about how you can create links on the error messages in
ColdFusion and Railo so that when you click the error in the browser,
it will open that file in Textmate and jump to the line that the error
was caused on.

I dont know if this works on E but I would assume it would be the
same. I have it working on all of my error files in Railo and it took
about 2 minutes to do. I cant believe how simple this is but how much
time it saves digging through files.

If any of you try this with E or with the default ColdFusion 8 or 9
files, let me know and I can update the post with your results.

Nice, I'd like to see a call in TM that if you have an include that it will grab the file name and you could hit a hot key and open that file.... that would be nice.

Here ya go... this will open up any linked file, preferable if you have a project defined otherwise it probably isn't going to find your file. But, it will try, works with cfinclude, javascript src=, and href= (for css files)... let me know if there are anymore types i should include.

create a new command, give it a shorcut paste the command in below:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require "rexml/document"

require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/textmate.rb"

include REXML 

string = ENV['TM_CURRENT_LINE'].dup

if !string.empty?

  if !string.include?('script')

    r = string.scan(/\/\>/)

    if r.length == 0

      string.chop!

      string << "/>" 

    end

  end

  

  

  if ENV['TM_FILEPATH']

    current_path = File.dirname(ENV['TM_FILEPATH'].dup)

    puts ENV['TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY']

    

    doc = Document.new string

      if doc.root

        path = doc.root.attributes['href'] || doc.root.attributes['src'] || doc.root.attributes['template']

      

        if ENV['TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY']

          current_path = ENV['TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY'].dup

        end

        puts file_path =  current_path + '/' + path

        TextMate.go_to :file => file_path

      end

  end

end

to clarify: put your cursor on any of these lines and hit the command you just created:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/jquery/js/jquery-ui-togglebox.js"></script>

<link type="text/css" href="style/jquery_custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<cfinclude template="/somefile.cfm"> 

just realized it isnt going to work with relative paths like ../../something.cfm I'll work on a fix

[Russ Johnson]

Im not able to get this to work for some reason. I have tried absolute paths on files and everything.

I'm going to work on a fix for this... been extremely busy
