Console passes wrong file name to Error List
Submitted by Clavius on Tuesday, 25 January, 2011 - 22:32
I'm using the Console plug-in to parse my compiler messages and display errors in Error List plug-in. This works fine except the Error List incorrectly displays the file name and path.

In the Console error patterns menu, I specify the following:
Name: VHDL
Regexp: (.+):..+\\([^\\]+)\.vhd\ *\((\d+)\)Sad.+)
Warning regexp: leave empty
Extra lines regexp: leave empty
Filename: $f
Line number: $3
Error message: $4



Here's a sample of the compiler output displayed in the Console:

-- Compiling architecture behavior of tb_system_monitor
** Error: C:\Projects\tb_system_monitor.vhd (171): (vcom-1272) Length of expected is 8.



The Error List shows the correct error, but gets the file path wrong and forgets to include the file extension (.vhd).

C:\Program Files\jEdit\tb_system_monitor (1 error, 0 warnings)
171: ** Error: C (vcom-1272) Length of expected is 8.


I tried changing the Console Filename parameter from "$f", but nothing I did had any effect on the file name reported in the Error List. Is the Filename parameter passed to the Error List?

Thanks.

If the regular expression mat
by Robert Schwenn on Wed, 26/01/2011 - 18:20
If the regular expression matches a line, then every pair of round brackets returns the included string as "$x", where "x" is a serial NUMBER. So, did You try "$2" for the filename?

If this doesn't help, You could try this regular expression:

.*Error:\s*(.+\.vhd)\s*\((\d+)\):\s*(.+)

and set:
Filename: $1
Line number: $2
Error message: $3
 
Thanks Robert!

Thanks Robert! Your explanation of the round brackets helped me to find the problem.

If anyone else is using Modelsim for compiling VHDL, try this:

Error Regexp: (.+)(.:..+\\[^\\]+\.vhd)\ *\((\d+)\)Sad.+)
File name: $2
Line number: $3
Error Message $4

Note: Substitute the Sad with an "open parenthesis collen"
