-----------------------------------
Summary: GroovyConsole error link does not place the caret on the
reported column
Key: GROOVY-12429
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12429
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Daniel Sun
h2. Problem
A compilation error in GroovyConsole prints a location such as {{line: 1,
column: 9}}. Activating that link selects the whole line and leaves the caret
after the last character. The status bar shows the end of the line, not the
column named in the message, so the link does not show where the error is.
On a later line the selection also starts at the newline that ends the previous
line.
h2. Steps to reproduce
Run this script in GroovyConsole. The opening quote is not closed.
{noformat}
println '123
{noformat}
In the output pane, activate {{line: 1, column: 9}}.
h2. Actual result
The whole line is selected. The script is 12 characters long, the caret is left
after the last character, and the status bar reads {{1:13}}.
h2. Expected result
The caret is on the opening quote, that character is selected, and the status
bar reads {{1:9}}.
When an error spans more than one character, the span is selected and the caret
stays on the column named in the message. The status bar uses the same
character columns as that message.
h2. Other cases covered by the same defect
* A location on a later line starts at the first character of that line.
* A stack-trace link that names only a line still selects that whole line, from
its first character. The status bar shows column 1 of that line.
* A column past the end of the line stays on that line.
* Activating the link from the keyboard moves the caret to the same place as a
mouse click.
