Extensibility API command for moving cursor to line.

[PatoBeltran]

I'm working in a vscode extension and I would like to open a file with the cursor in a given line (just as the -g flag of the command line tool). I've been looking at the API commands and I don't see any command that does this.

The solution that I was looking at was the following:

private openFileAtLocation(filename: string, lineNumber: number): Q.Promise<any> {
    return Q(vscode.commands.executeCommand("vscode.openFolder", vscode.Uri.file(filename))).then(() => {
        vscode.commands.executeCommand("workbench.action.gotoLine", lineNumber);
    });
}

but the workbench.action.gotoLine only opens the Go to Line dialog. Is there any support for this feature in the API? or can this command be modified so that if a line number is provided as an argument it automatically jumps to the line?

Thanks!

Maybe you can try to do like this.

let editor = vscode.window.activeTextEditor;
let range = editor.document.lineAt(lineNumber-1).range;
editor.selection =  new vscode.Selection(range.start, range.end);
editor.revealRange(range);

revealRange is the way to go on this.
