console.error(error.stack) does not display clickable stack traces.

[probablycorey]

In Chrome, calling console.error(error.stack) results in a clickable calls in the stack trace. In atom-shell the stack trace isn't clickable if the error is caught and displayed this way.

The code that generated this behavior can be found at https://github.com/probablycorey/atom-shell/compare/stack-bug

Fixed with atom/node@8c26bda.

Implementing this requires setting the internal representing filename to file://blabla, which is fine for most cases since it is only used when displaying the line of error or listing the scripts in the page.

However this causes troubles when throwing an exception from .coffee file, because CoffeeScript is very smart to translate the filenames in stack trace from .js to .coffee, and it can not recognize file://blabla, so one it met one it would throw exceptions.

We can work around this by either patching CoffeeScript or making necessary node APIs recognize file://blabla, but it is too much for such a simple feature, so I'm reverting the fix and marking this as won't fix.

Just putting it out there. I would have liked this 🌹 Doesn't mean it has to be done
