Navigate to the file from output in the terminal - WebStorm

Question

Is it possible to tune WebStorm so that when I have something like this in my terminal window, then I just click on the filename and jump to it.

Answer 1

Not possible using built-in terminal (please vote for IDEA-118566 and IDEA-154439).

Awesome Console plugin might be a solution; but it doesn't support built-in terminal (https://github.com/anthraxx/intellij-awesome-console/issues/23)

there is also Output Link Filter plugin that provides similar functionality, but it looks outdated and (also) doesn't work in built-in terminal

Update (2022): IDEA-118566 is already fixed, links should work. Please note that providing links for particular output needs adding specific logic handing such output. Thus, if you encounter missing links in a particular output, please file a separate issue request describing link output format and steps to reproduce such output.

It's not quite a single click solution, but what I do, is double click the text so that it auto selects and copies the path, including line and char numbers to clipboard. Then use the shortcut for Goto File.... Hit paste (cmd+v) then Enter and it will take you to the exact location.

For me, the shortcut for Goto File... is cmd+shift+O - you can check your shortcut in the menu Navigate -> File...
