11. Opening files in your editor from the Web UI - 《[英文] GoConvey Document》

OSX
Windows
Linux

You may have noticed when your tests fail, GoConvey provides a link directly to the failing line in the file:

To enable these links, you need to register a custom URL Scheme handler for your platform. The name of the custom URL Scheme is goconvey (clever, huh?).

OSX

In this example, I will be using MacVim. If you're using Sublime, you will want to change the path to your Sublime installation.

Find the application you want to handle the goconvey URL protocol handler: /Applications/MacVim.app
Edit the Info.plist file. There are two ways to do this:
- Using your terminal:
  - Edit /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Info.plist
  - Find the section that has <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
  - Add a new <dict> entry that looks like this (lines 1198 - 1207):

If you don't have an <array> section, then create it.

Using the GUI
- In Finder, navigation to the Applications folder and right click on your application and click "Show Package Contents":
- Open up the Contents folder and double click on the Info.plist file.
- Find the section labeled URL types:
- Expand the section and create an entry (by clicking on the "plus" icon) that looks like this:

You want to select Editor as the Document Role, and the string entry inside the URL Schemes section must be goconvey.

- After you edit this file, you must &#34;update&#34; your application: <code>touch /Applications/MacVim.app/</code>

If everything went well, you should click on the Line # link in GoConvey's web UI and get a prompt from your browser:

Click "Launch Application" (and you'll probably want to check the "Remember…" checkbox as well.

Windows

Until someone comes up with a good tutorial, here are some resources:

Linux

To install a customer schema handler, at least in Ubuntu, you can use the script below. It will install a script that handles the links in GoConvey's web GUI and formats it to work with the browsers, at least Visual Studio Code and Sublime. It will also register a desktop handler for the goconvey:// schema.

It uses your default editor if the environment variable EDITOR is set.If you like to use a separate editor just for goconvey links, you can set GOCONVEY_EDITOR.Some editor need extra flags to handle filenames with line number. These flags can be set in GOCONVEY_EDITOR_FLAGS.If no editor environment variables are set it defaults to Visual Studio Code.

This script is tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity.

Save the content below in a file and run it as root.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
 
cat <<EOF-HANDLER > /usr/bin/goconvey-handler
#!/usr/bin/env bash
request="\${1#*://}"             # Remove schema from url (goconvey://)
request="\${request#*?url=}"     # Remove open?url=
request="\${request#*://}"       # Remove file://
request="\${request//%2F//}"     # Replace %2F with /
request="\${request/&line=/:}"   # Replace &line= with :
request="\${request/&column=/:}" # Replace &column= with :
if [ -n "\${GOCONVEY_EDITOR}" ]; then
    \$GOCONVEY_EDITOR \$GOCONVEY_EDITOR_FLAGS "\$request"    # Launch specified goconvey editor
elif [ -n "\${EDITOR}" ]; then
    \$EDITOR \$GOCONVEY_EDITOR_FLAGS "\$request"             # Launch default editor
else
    code -g "\$request"                                    # Launch code as editor
