The usual recipe is to start with emacs -q and then evaluate

(package-initialize)
(require 'ess-site)

in the scratch buffer, then check to see if you can reproduce the bug.
If you have ESS installed in a way that it is not in your load-path by
default you may have to do something along the lines of

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/ESS/lisp/")
(load "ess-site")

Re: [ESS] ess-dump-object-into-edit-buffer

[Lionel Henry]

I think we should adjust the max lines before calling dump().
In the mean time you can do it manually:

options(deparse.max.lines = NA)

The reason for the change of behaviour is this change in R:


https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/201ddbd16e8f410c469dcd4695471c0bedd65dd5

dput() and dump() should probably set this option to NA themselves.

Re: [ESS] ess-dump-object-into-edit-buffer

[Patrick Connolly]

Thanks for the response, however, if I start Emacs with a '-q' none of
my ~/.emacs file is read, so Emacs doesn't know how to start R.  More
to the point, I'm unable to run R within Emacs any other way.

I gather there is a way of applying individual lines of the .emacs
files but a bear with a small brain doesn't know how to do that (or
where to look in the manual how to do it),

It would appear, if it doesn't reproduce, that the problem is
somewhere in my .emacs file.  That's a hodge-podge of various things
I've picked up over the decades so it wouldn't be surprising to find
some incompatibilities.

Ideas appreciated.
