What issue are you seeing?
Opening a local file reference in GoLand from Codex Desktop does not
preserve the referenced line number.
There are two related behaviors:
- Right-clicking a file reference and selecting "Open in GoLand"
sometimes does not visibly open or focus the file.
- Opening the reference in Codex's right sidebar and then clicking
"Open in GoLand" opens the correct file, but not at the referenced line.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Configure GoLand as the preferred file open target.
- Render a local file reference containing a line number:
[helper.go](/absolute/path/to/helper.go:214)
- Right-click the link and select "Open in GoLand".
- Alternatively, left-click it to open the Codex file preview, then
click "Open in GoLand" in the preview toolbar.
What is the expected behavior?
Both "Open in GoLand" entry points should open the file at line 214,
for example by preserving the location as equivalent to:
goland --line 214 --column 1 /absolute/path/to/helper.go
