Inspector cannot open trace from tslint

[egamma]

@octref the attached file does not open in the inspector

tslint-log.txt

The format looks OK to me. The tool should at least show the error to the user.

That's because everything is dumped into the output channel. The input you had was of this form:

[Trace - 4:21:27 PM] Sending request 'initialize - (0)'.
Params: {

}


Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:6010/0956172b-cae0-49f0-9e99-af55cc1f5043
For help see https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
[Trace - 4:21:28 PM] Received response 'initialize - (0)' in 673ms.
Result: {
    "capabilities": {
        "textDocumentSync": 1,
        "codeActionProvider": true
    }
}


[Info  - 4:21:28 PM] Linter is running.
[Trace - 4:21:28 PM] Sending notification 'initialized'.
Params: {}


[Trace - 4:21:28 PM] Sending notification 'workspace/didChangeConfiguration'.

The two lines on debugger come from --inspect. I can handle the [Info] line and make the web app show an error.

@octref the log parser should be more robust so that I do not have to manually edit the log output. The parser should only attempt to parse trace messages and skip over other output to stdout, like --inspect. It appears that the trace messages have a well defined format that can be distinguished from random output.

This is handled fine now. I'll create a new issue for showing parsing error.
