Since I haven’t found anything in the docs, I wanted to ask whether it’s possible to parse the build tool’s output and use it in my plugin. To give you an idea what I’m trying to do: a new file is created in the build process, but the name of the output file is defined in the script that is used in the build process. I would love to be able to read the build output, extract the filename and open that file in a new tab.

You should be able to use the Window class’s panels() and find_output_panel() methods to get the View for the build output and then read from it. Or perhaps I am misunderstanding your needs.

Build systems are meant to be used by the end user. If you intend to interpret output of an external tool or application, you should look into using subprocess.Popen directly.
