Hello,
I have noticed a behavior that I don't understand. When I call the
following function from the prompt.
test <- function(){
a <- readline("selection: ")
a
}
> test()
> selection: |
I can only type one character and the readline function exits before I can
press enter.
however
test1 <- function(){
a <- readline("selection:")
a
}
> test1()
> selection:|
works as expected.
> selection: abc[Ret]
However calling directly readline with a space in the prompt does what I
would expect.
> a <- readline("selection: ")
> selection: abc[Ret]
> a
> "abc"
It is the expected behavior or am I missing something?
I can reproduce this behavior on Windows and Linux.
I cannot reproduce this behavior in a bash terminal, or on RStudio.
I'm using ess-version: 18.10.3snapshot [elpa: 20200825.829] (loaded from
/home/djj/.emacs.d/elpa/ess-20200825.829/) but the problem still persist
in the latest version.
Best regards.
