Re: Quickfix and Perl - Vim won't jump to my next compilation error

In fact, it was not that simple on my computer (could this be Windows-related?).

The error file would only be created if i ran
perl -MVi::QuickFix=C:/quickfix_errors.err /my/program
from an external console
(but not from inside Vim, with :!perl -MVi::QuickFix=C:/quickfix_errors.err /my/program)
which i don't like, as i'm trying to avoid having to switch from Vim to an external console.

:make > C:/quickfix_errors.err
wouldn't create the file either.
The only thing that works for me is to have the
use Vi::QuickFix 'C:/quickfix_errors.err'
in my script, and then do
:make.

It's not my ideal solution, but it works well enough for me.

Thank you Mark.
Unfortunately, i didn't understand the vim-addon-actions documentation.

But you made me understand enough in your message : when i was typing :cf, it wasn't executing :cfirst, as i was expecting, but :cfile instead. Now i can confirm that :cfirst indicates the first compilation error, from the same list as :cnext and :cprevious. But it is not supposed to jump to the error. :cfile is supposed to jump to the error, and what i needed was just to specify the error file as an argument.

So, for those who would have the same problem, i had to choose the error file path with

use Vi::QuickFix 'C:/quickfix_errors.err';

or with
:!perl _MVI::QuickFix=C:/quickfix_errors.err
Then i just have to do
:cfile C:/quickfix_errors.err
and it jumps to the first error ! And then, :cn and :cp jump to the next and previous errors.
Perfect !

Apparently, it was just the default error file path which wasn't right. I think it was just not the same when i was writing it with :make, and reading it with :cfile. By specifying it in both directions, it works =)

Now i just have to make my own mappings to make this all faster and easier.

I personally have written github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-actions for that.
Make sure to read its documentation, it also contains a list of related
work:

  SingleCompile : Let user compile or run a single source file conveniently

  Quickrun:

There may be more, try vim.org/search.php

In the end they all do the same:

write a file, set error format, load using cfile or the like.

:compiler perl

is the standard vim way.

> :make

:make > file.err

is what you're looking for.

Yes, it opens the quickfix window, but does not load the error list, see
cfile.

> E40 : Can't open error file error.err

Don't understand this. Must be a Vim default I never cared about.
