terminal-path-resolver
Resolve terminal file paths to the right file in your workspace — even when the emitted path doesn't match your local machine.
Why we built it
In a monorepo, the path your terminal prints is usually only a suffix of the real file — so ⌘-clicking an error does nothing. We work in Turborepo output all day across our products, so we made the terminal links actually resolve.
What it supports
- Unix absolute paths — /repo/apps/web/src/page.tsx:12:3
- Windows absolute paths — C:\repo\…\page.tsx:12:3
- Workspace-relative paths
- Task-prefixed paths — web:dev: src/page.tsx
- Stack traces split across multiple lines
How it resolves paths.
Three passes, in order. When more than one file is plausible, you get a Quick Pick instead of a silent guess at the first match.
Exact absolute path
If the printed path exists on this machine, it opens immediately.
Workspace-relative
Matched against every open workspace folder in the window.
Ranked suffix match
Scored against a cached workspace file index — built for monorepos and Turborepo output.
Usage
Terminal links
⌘-click on macOS, Ctrl-click on Windows and Linux, straight from the integrated terminal.
Manual command
Select a path in the editor and run Terminal Path Resolver: Open File Path from the command palette.
Install
