Register a URL handler for codelite://

[AJenbo]

Rational: Lots of web development debugging tools support debugging links that opens a file in the editor at a given line. This is often seen in relation to stack traces or other fault detection tools.

Examples of usage:

• Laravel debugbar
• PHPStan Pro

This is based on https://github.com/sanduhrs/phpstorm-url-handler

Shouldn't this feature have some kind of (external) documentation for its syntax etc ? If not is will end up as hidden secret not known to anybody

@UffeJakobsen Hm that is fair enough. I'm not sure where it should be documented though.

There is the documentation in the bash script:

# codelite://open?url=file://@file&line=@line
# codelite://open?file=@file&line=@line
# codelite://open?url=file://@file:@line
# codelite://open?file=@file:line

A concrete example:

codelite://open?file=%2Fhome%2Fajenbo%2Fcode%2Fproject%2Fapp%2FHttp%2FRequests%2FRequest.php&line=15

It mirrors the format used by PHPStorm

The current online documentation has one section that is (somewhat) similar (it relates to desktop integration)

Hopefully someone who knows how to associate protocols on Mac and Windows will implement it there as well :)
