The command history on Windows when running ir.exe is being provided by the Windows console subsystem; it's not actually part of IronRuby. I imagine that Mono's readline library could be used to give the same effect on non-Windows platforms.

I'm running the 1.0-rc2 build. With ir, I've noticed two things: 1) The up arrow does not scroll through the command history. This works on Windows. 2) the first character doesn't appear, though is processed, for each line. For example, if I open a new ir session and type 'puts "Hello, World"' the console shows: >>> uts "Hello, World" but if I hit return, the command is processed just fine. It's literally just the first character - I often end up hitting space then backspace or something else before typing and then it is fine. With iirb, I'm getting an exception just trying to run it: cory-foys-macbook-pro:~ foyc$ iirb IronRuby.Libraries:0:in `GetExecutable': infocmp -C (Errno::ENOENT) from IronRuby.Libraries:0:in `CreateProcess' from IronRuby.Libraries:0:in `CreateProcess' from :0:in ``' [Stack Trace truncated] Running infocmp -C produces: ory-foys-macbook-pro:~ foyc$ infocmp -C # Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/78/xterm-color xterm-color|nxterm|generic color xterm:\ :am:bs:km:mi:ms:xn:\ :co#80:it#8:li#24:\ :AL=\E[%dL:DC=\E[%dP:DL=\E[%dM:DO=\E[%dB:LE=\E[%dD:\ :RI=\E[%dC:UP=\E[%dA:ae=^O:al=\E[L:as=^N:bl=^G:cd=\E[J:\ :ce=\E[K:cl=\E[H\E[2J:cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:cr=^M:\ :cs=\E[%i%d;%dr:ct=\E[3g:dc=\E[P:dl=\E[M:do=^J:ei=\E[4l:\ :ho=\E[H:im=\E[4h:\ :is=\E7\E[r\E[m\E[?7h\E[?1;3;4;6l\E[4l\E8\E>:\ :k1=\E[11~:k2=\E[12~:k3=\E[13~:k4=\E[14~:k5=\E[15~:\ :k6=\E[17~:k7=\E[18~:k8=\E[19~:k9=\E[20~:kD=\E[3~:\ :kI=\E[2~:kN=\E[6~:kP=\E[5~:kb=^H:kd=\EOB:ke=\E[?1l\E>:\ :kl=\EOD:kr=\EOC:ks=\E[?1h\E=:ku=\EOA:le=^H:md=\E[1m:\ :me=\E[m:mr=\E[7m:nd=\E[C:rc=\E8:\ :rs=\E7\E[r\E8\E[m\E[?7h\E[?1;3;4;6l\E[4l\E>:sc=\E7:\ :se=\E[m:sf=^J:so=\E[7m:sr=\EM:st=\EH:ta=^I:\ :te=\E[2J\E[?47l\E8:ti=\E7\E[?47h:ue=\E[m:up=\E[A:\ :us=\E[4m: I'm happy to look into both of these, but wanted to see if anyone else was seeing this before I did (or was looking at it already). -- Cory Foy http://www.coryfoy.com http://twitter.com/cory_foy _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
