Re: Command line open does not use find-file anymore?

[Everton J. Carpes]

By "command line" I means starting a new emacs session.

I know the +LINE syntax, but it is not useful when you are dealing with
error reports from a lot of tools which by default will present it like
FILENAME:LINE.

The solution putting the "advice" around find-file works when calling
find-file inside emacs and was working until version 25 also from command
line, but it is not working from command line anymore after updating to 25.
