Interface Diagnostic



  • public interface Diagnostic
    Interface for diagnostics from tools. A diagnostic usually reports a problem at a specific position in a source file. However, not all diagnostics are associated with a position or a file.

    A position is a zero-based character offset from the beginning of a file. Negative values (except NOPOS) are not valid positions.

    Line and column numbers begin at 1. Negative values (except NOPOS) and 0 are not valid line or column numbers.

    Line terminator is as defined in ECMAScript specification which is one of { \u000A, \u000B, \u2028, \u2029 }.

        Gets the column number of the character offset returned by getPosition().
        Returns:
        a column number or NOPOS if and only if getPosition() returns NOPOS
      • getCode
