Open-url with line number problem

Support Resolved
1

I’ve been using Komodo Edit 9.0 for the first time, and am trying to create some Python scripts. However I think I have encountered a bug. I want to open an existing file and go to a specific line:

obsvc = components.classes["@mozilla.org/observer-service;1"].getService(components.interfaces.nsIObserverService);
obsvc.notifyObservers(None, 'open-url', r'G:\myfolder\myfile.txt#10');

This works fine. However, as soon as there is a space in the file name, the editor does not found the file and wants to create it:

obsvc.notifyObservers(None, 'open-url', r'G:\myfolder\my file.txt#10');

I get the message: "The file ‘g:\myfolder\my file.txt#10’ does not exist. Do you want to create it?’, which is obviously not the desired result.

Note that if I remove the line number, the editor finds the file:

obsvc.notifyObservers(None, 'open-url', r'G:\myfolder\my file.txt');

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks a lot.

Thanks, I’ve opened a bug here - https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit/issues/314

As a workaround, you could use the following JS macro:

ko.open.URI('/path/to/file.txt');
editor.setCursor({line: 10, ch: 0});

Fyi @mitchell just committed a fix for this, it should be in the next nightly.
