How to permanently close a grep console

[steinitz]

Hi Vojtěch,

I created a couple of grep consoles with your excellent plugin. They are part of my React-Native run configuration.

I'm not clear on how to permanently close them. When I launch WebStorm they reappear. I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't work it out after 5 minutes of trying and looking around :)

There is Pin button, also just closing them manually by middle click or context menu should work.

Thanks for showing me the pin. However I still have too many grep consoles. I unpin them and close them over and over, but they return.

I hope this report is useful.

ps. one thing I really like about your consoles is they don't show the useless urls on the right-hand side which only waste space and cause buggy line wrapping. Please don't 'fix' that :)

That's strange, perhaps I should add some logging...

Also when you press the Pin icon, does it get unselected? Because that means that it really is unpinned...

What do you mean by 'useless urls'?

[steinitz]

Thanks for following up. Yes the pin icons get unselected. Then I close the grep tabs, but they reappear on next run (or debug) of the run configuration.

I've taken a screenshot of the useless urls. I've asked JetBrains to get rid of them but they declined. Having them gone was an unexpected delight from using your plugin. In fact, now I have a regex grep, '.+', which shows all messages but omits the urls.

Note the 'useless urls' in blue, on the right.

I've never seen those urls, amazing.

Please try this:

• install (without unziping) GrepConsole.zip (in new IDEs you can just drag it into the editor and it gets installed)
• enable debug log by adding #krasa.grepconsole in Help | Debug log settings...
• post the result after you unpin something and hit rerun. ( you can use Help | Tail Log in Console)

Thanks for your help. Those urls are annoying. I'm surprised you've never seen them. Hmmm. In any case, GrepConsole saves the day.

I installed the new version. I unpinned and closed the six grep consoles. They didn't re-appear on run, but all six re-appeared when I relaunched WebStorm then ran.

I apologize for the size of the attached log fragment. I tried to use GrepConsole to pare it down but I wasn't able to specify just the right regex in sixty seconds :)

GrepConsole.log.zip

I hope it's useful.

Well, I do not do React or use Webstorm...

There is no unpinning logged... But anyways the log seems rather strange. I had to try it myself, but my React Native looks way different and does not even support grepping....

I have made some changes, maybe it will help, maybe not. GrepConsole.zip

[krasa]

Well, this looks similar, only it's Node, not React.

[krasa]

This should be even better GrepConsole.zip. Also try to get rid of all the old pins, even by deleting them via OS from project/.idea/GrepConsole.xml (then opening the project).

[steinitz]

Your latest version works better. Thank you. Let me test it for a few days and report back.

I did notice one minor problem unrelated to this discussion. I'll show you here but I'm happy to open a new issues if you prefer.

In the GrepConsole settings one of the actions is undefined. Perhaps that's intentional.

I hope this report is useful.

It is still not right, I am fixing it...

That default line was meant as an example, maybe bad idea, I changed it.

Seems fixed to me, let me know if it's not. Thanks.
