Handling of simple compilation errors

[SylvainDe]

Hi I know this is pretty far-fetched and out of this project scope but I just got this error while compiling my code Tests_Feature/my_test_file.cpp:1925:2: error: expected ';' before 'MyClassName' and thought "FUCK". Then I just opened the file, went to line 1925 and inserted a ';' before "MyClassName" *. I think this error contains enough information for some automatic processing to fix the issue and I'd like to give it a try when I have a bit of spare time.

• I actually added the ';' at the end of line 1924 but it would have worked anyway.

Maybe running $EDITOR Tests_Feature/my_test_file.cpp +1925 && the_previous_command would be enough? (I'm actually surprised the +line thing works with vi, vim, nano and emacs).

In the meantime – while TheFuck still makes no amendments in source code files – it's fair enough to open the file in the user's preferred editor.

I'll implement that tomorrow. I started to list some patterns:

pattern	tools	note
^awk: {file}:{line}:	awk
^fatal: bad config file line {line} in {file}	git
^llc: {file}:{line}:{col}:	llc
^lua: {file}:{line}:	lua
^{file} (line {line}):	fish
^{file}: line {line}:	sh, bash, ssh
^{file}:{line:col}-{line:col}	cargo	parsing config file
^{file}:{line}:	zsh, ruby, make, ghc
^{file}:{line}:{col}:	gcc, clang, rustc, go
^  File "{file}", line {line}	thefuck, python
^    {file}:{line}:{col}:	cargo	compilation
at {file} line {line}	perl
at {file}:{line}:{col}	js, node

Feel free to add a comment if you have other ideas of easy to identify patterns.

Wahoo! You guys are crazy! Thanks for the quick and comprehensive answers!

[scorphus]

Nice! My addition:

pattern	tools	note
at {file}:{line}:{col}	js, node	the pattern appears many times, should take the first reference

[mcarton]

@scorphus can you give me a full example of output for the tests?

[scorphus]

Absolutely!

// fuck.js
process.argv.slice(2).forEach(function(arg) {
    conole.log(arg);
});

» node fuck.js asdf qwer
/Users/pablo/Workspace/barebones/fuck.js:2
    conole.log(arg);  // this should read console.log(arg);
