JLine 3: restore behavior: "You typed two blank lines. Starting a new command."?

[SethTisue]

this no longer triggers, but there's less need for it now that we have multiline editing, so not a blocker ... I think?

[SethTisue]

but test/files/jvm/interpreter.check tests this behavior. why does the test pass, but it doesn't work interactively?

[SethTisue]

ah, this has to do with @som-snytt's "Excise old continuation handling" todo in scala/scala-dev#689. the handling for this is in interpretStartingWith, which is no longer exercised interactively, since we now instead in ScalaParser#parse we have this logic:

        case ACCEPT_LINE =>
          if (repl.parseString(line) == Incomplete) throw new EOFError(0, 0, "incomplete")
          tokenize(line, cursor)     // Try a real "final" parse.

whereas interpreter.scala uses scala.tools.partest.ReplTest which apparently follows different code paths

[som-snytt]

The tests use a special testing entry point in ILoop module, with some code to handle special things like prompts and ctl-D. It's a useful but limited fake. Doti has no such facility at the moment.

If, for instance, you lose track of how many parentheses you should've closed, it's probably nice to keep the fact that two blank lines end the snippet and give you back a prompt so you can try again.

[som-snytt]

If I had to choose, I'd prefer ctl-C for get me outta here.

[SethTisue]

the way I found to nope out is C-p to the top and then C-k til all the lines are killed, but perhaps there's a shorter nope-nope-nope sequence we have yet to identify

oh hey there @som-snytt, was wondering if you'd noped out of this whole business, you think you get weekends off do you?

[som-snytt]

@SethTisue we're all coronaed out here, and not the beer, so I've had no time for anything, sorry.

[SethTisue]

fortunately we're safe here in Switzerland, which...
<checks notes> um, borders northern Italy, hmm

[som-snytt]

Thanks for removing the prio:low labels. We need a label for expectations:low.

Everyone was out at the office, so instead of chatting, I was deleting partest flags files.

[SethTisue]

Thanks for removing the prio:low labels

I've now added a "help-wanted" label on many of these tickets instead, but I don't see a way to remove the stigma of "SethTisue added prio:low label" in the history, so these tickets will probably suffer from lingering self-esteem issues.

I will try to learn from this incident.

Working for me: ctrl-G (like emacs)

I did press ctrl-SPACE though, and what I can't figure out is how to make it stop highlighting hehehe

ah, nice, good to know! tends to leave junk on the screen, but perhaps that's JLine's fault rather than something in the Scala integration
