Redirect build errors into vim
Thursday, December 10th, 2009Here is a small bash function which wraps the executed command in the shell and redirects all build errors right into vim. In vim you can jump between errors using standard :cn,:cp commands(as well as view them all using :cope).
function vimize () { local file=/tmp/vimize.errors if [ "$1" != "" ] ; then rm $file 2> /dev/null $1 "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6" "$7" "$8" "$9" 2>&1 | tee $file fi grep ': error:' $file if [ "$?" == "0" ] ; then vim -q $file -c :copen fi }
Just put it into your ~/.bashrc, reload the shell and ejoy it. It can be used as follows:
$ vimize ./run_some_build_script
