One of the main reasons that our team is using Webstorm vs any other IDE is the "Problems" tab that allows you to view and navigate to problems not only in the current file, but also across the whole project, this feature just barely compensate for the general slowness of Webstorm (even on the top of the line M2 mac). I think this feature is crucial for many devs to do the switch, unless ofcourse this is one of the issues the webstorm is so slow :)

Thank you for your feedback! We are working on a "Problems" tool view which would indicate errors in project files. For the global project Problems view, please vote for this request: FL-17178 Indicate total number of errors, warnings for the opened workspace.

To me, the key problem here is that Fleet has no project-wide list of build problems – aka the problems view in other Jetbrains IDEs.

This is a major usability failure - see below.

If the intention of this ticket is to implement such a view, I suggest changing the title to reflect this. Displaying total number of problems as per the current title is of little use on its own, and would be a secondary feature of the overall solution.

Currently Fleet is unusable in many situations because you don't know which files build errors are in. The workflow looks like this:

  • attempt to build/run project. Build fails.
  • console output is unreadable (FL-23371), so can't find errors that way
  • laboriously clicking through recently edited files looking for problems helps in some situations, but often that's not where the errors are. And it's a terrible user experience even when it is relevant.
  • Give up and open a different IDE to find build problems

If I am missing something, please let me know.
