I'm writing a library that parses text files that are not written in Java. When I encounter a syntax error in these text files, I would like to construct a clickable stack trace with the relevant file name and line number of these files. I already have an exception with this information in the exception name, but not the stack trace.
Ideally, my code would look something like this:
try {
// Try to parse the file
} catch (MySyntaxException e) {
StackTraceElement[] stackTrace = e.getStackTrace();
StackTraceElement[] newStackTrace = new StackTraceElement[stackTrace.length+1];
newStackTrace[0] = new StackTraceElement(e.getClassNameEquivalent(), "", e.getFile(), e.getLineNumber());
System.arraycopy(stackTrace, 0, newStackTrace, 1, stackTrace.length);
e.setStackTrace(newStackTrace);
throw e;
}
When I do this, I get a stack trace that looks something like this:
org.example.MySyntaxException: Something went wrong
at Filename.yaml.(config/files/Filename.yaml:21)
at org.example.MyParser.parse(MyParser.java:41)
// ...
However, IntelliJ doesn't treat the line Filename.yaml.(config/files/Filename.yaml:21) as clickable. Is there some way to convince IDEs that I can click this line?
