How to see output from multiple File Watchers in JetBrains IDE

Question

I'm using JetBrains GoLand IDE however I assume the answer would be common for any JetBrains IDE such as IntelliJ etc.

I've configured file watchers for:

go fmt, golint and go test

go fmt does not have output so it works fine.

golint and go test both have output. If I enable just one of them I see that output. If I enable both I see the output of golint for only a split second then it is replaced by the output of go test So I will never actually be able to read the output of golint

For now I solved this by making go test only display output on error, if it errors I figure I do not yet care about the output of golint but thought I'd ask anyway.

Answer 2

You don't need to enable go test as a File Watcher as the default test runner can execute on file changes.

To enable this feature, you can enable the Toggle test auto-rerun feature, which is the third button from top to bottom on the left side of the run test window. You can also configure the interval after which the tests run via the cog wheel.

Here's a reference for how to do this in IntelliJ IDEA, which is the same as in GoLand https://twitter.com/intellijidea/status/807239309992591361?lang=en
