Description

I would like a user interaction in VSCode that

  • starts a lake build
  • as errors occur, opens the relevant files in VSCode, but without changing the currently focussed tab

(I think I would also want this to check if there was an existing lake build running, and terminate that.)

Currently to achieve this one has to scroll up and down through the lake build log (which sometimes gets very slow), identifying file names and clicking on them.)

Research direction

Start by tracing the VSCode extension entry point for user interactions and the existing handling of lake build output. Determine how build errors identify relevant files and how focused tabs are preserved; done means a user action starts the build, opens error files without changing focus, and handles an already-running build as specified.
