#+SEQ_TODO: OPEN | RESOLVED
#+TITLE: swankr: Bug list
#+AUTHOR: Christophe Rhodes
#+EMAIL: csr21@cantab.net
#+OPTIONS: H:0 toc:nil
* RESOLVED #1 printed output not redirected to slime repl :MINOR:FIXED:
The output from functions performing printing is sent to the
standard output of the process running =swank()=, not to an emacs
stream.
* OPEN #2 popping beyond inspector history crashes :NORMAL:
Inspecting something and hitting =l= causes the R debugger to pop
up from trying to send =NULL= in a sexp to Emacs.
* RESOLVED #3 source reference in compile-string-for-emacs :WISHLIST:FIXED:
It would be good if we could associate the expressions in the string
with a reference to the corresponding source. Unfortunately, emacs
only passes the buffer position in bytes (or maybe characters),
whereas R's srcrefs work with lines and columns.
* RESOLVED #4 multibyte characters corrupt slime connection :NORMAL:
Not in all circumstances (e.g. ="£"= is OK) but =1:£= fails in
* RESOLVED #5 respect visibility of evaluated results :WISHLIST:FIXED:
I think we can do this by calling =.Internal(eval.with.vis(...))=
instead of just regular =eval()=
* OPEN #6 occasional invalid sink() errors :NORMAL:
Not sure yet when it happens, but it makes the terminal browser pop up.
* OPEN #7 swank server is uninterruptible :NORMAL:
at least in certain conditions
* RESOLVED #8 startup is not filesystem-location independent :MINOR:FIXED:
Requires the cwd to be the swankr directory to be able to find
swank-presentations and swank-media
* RESOLVED #9 help and ? to produce help buffers :WISHLIST:FIXED:
Not like ESS, though: that works by looking at the user's input with
a regexp. Use slime-media?
* RESOLVED #10 0 or more than 1 exprs at REPL :MINOR:FIXED:
Entering 0 exprs (whitespace or the empty string) at the REPL gives
an error from `swank:listener-eval`, which subscripts the parse tree
with index 1. (Entering more than one simply ignores all after the
first, assuming that they all parse). We should be a bit more like
R's repl, evaluating each of the exprs in turn and treating the
results a bit like CL's multiple values
* OPEN #11 no newline when using :popup-buffer for ?help :MINOR:
Logged here so that I don't forget it if I sort out #9 first: we
need to be able to indicate "no repl result please" if we open a new
temporary buffer to display the result.
* RESOLVED #12 escaping when searching for completions :NORMAL:FIXED:
Gets thoroughly confused on completing "read." because the "." is
treated as a regexp "any character" pattern.
* OPEN #13 source location in sldb wrong :MINOR:
I think there's an off-by-one in the association between frames and
srcrefs. Test case is something like 1+"foo" at the repl, and then
hitting "v" on the `swank:listener-eval` frame. Also the arglists
seem weird to me; in a call like frob(foo), I would expect to see
the value of foo in the locals.
* OPEN #14 thread argument to emacsRex unused :NORMAL:
This is a problem not least because it causes all sorts of problems
in inspecting swank-internal frames in sldb; test case is 1+"foo",
then RET on the eval(expr, envir, enclos) frame just below
`swank:listener-eval`.
* OPEN #15 write and use Rd2org instead of Rd2txt :WISHLIST:
org-mode is the future!
* OPEN #16 ESS configuration :MINOR:
sorting out the function regexp at least, but generally reducing
dependence might be good.
* RESOLVED #17 encoding / external-format confusion :NORMAL:
We declare ourselves capable of handling utf-8-unix encoding, but
whether we actually do anything close to being correct is unclear.
(Almost certainly not; I suspect we naïvely use nchar() in places).
We could either declare our encoding as latin1-unix, or make the
server utf8ly correct. To reproduce, simply type "ë" at the repl.
* RESOLVED #18 ess-help needs to be loaded automatically :MINOR:
to reproduce: in a fresh emacs, type ?help
* RESOLVED #19 base graphics don't work automatically :NORMAL:
They can be made to by passing --interactive to R on startup, but
I'm not sure what else that does.
* RESOLVED #20 closing the connection causes infinite R errors :IMPORTANT:FIXED:
reported by "Philipp Marek" <philipp@marek.priv.at> by private mail.
* RESOLVED #21 inspecting an environment causes error in match() :MINOR:FIXED:
reported by "Philipp Marek" <philipp@marek.priv.at> by private mail.
To reproduce, C-c I globalenv() RET, or hit RET on environment
presentations in the debugger (if presentations are on).
* RESOLVED #22 completion of named list fields :WISHLIST:FIXED:
It is very nice in ESS to be able to type df$ TAB and get a
completion list of the data frame's columns. Supporting it in
swankr should be really easy.
