Re: REPL and arrows problem

[ToddAndMargo via perl6-users]

I am not using Fedora's repo for Rakudo.  I am using

https://github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releases

Zef is inside the release.  Maybe they forgot Readline

I personally don't think that's a bug since Readline is not a core 
feature and not distributed by the Raku team. (There are other modules 
that do the same like for example, Linenoise)

Hi David,

Probably so!

I opened on their site too.

REPL dependency check for Readline

Hi Todd,
I don't think this is a Rakudo problem. It's a Fedora 31 problem.
ALready, when you start raku without Readline installed, it gives the 
message:


 > $ raku

use rlwrap for a line editor

Which is pretty much what you are requesting in the two RFEs you posted.

The problem I think in this case is that Readline is not working in 
Fedora 31 even with the following packages installed:


 > rakudo-0.2019.11-3.fc31.x86_64
 > rakudo-Readline-0.1.5-2.fc31.x86_64



Hi Norman,

Fedora 31 is my all time favorite operating system!
I Love Fedora!  Couple that with my Samsung NVMe
drive and ... Joy!

Hmm .

I am not using Fedora's repo for Rakudo.  I am using

https://github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releases

I like the way the package things better.  Maybe
it was an oversight on their part.

And I also just became aware I am one revision out
of date.

I have Fedora 31 and Readline does not seem to be working for me in the 
raku REPL as well.

But see below!


$ rpm -qa \*raku\*

Hmm, I don't think that is output from that command. Mine:
  $ rpm -qa \*raku\*

Looks like you might have your own rakudo installed not from the default 
system packages. Mine:

$ which raku
/usr/bin/raku
$ raku -v
This is Rakudo version 2019.11 built on MoarVM version 2019.11
implementing Perl 6.d.

In any case, I also have the problem with raku REPL not using Readline 
despite rakudo-Readline-0.1.5-2 being installed.

$ raku
You may want to `zef install Readline` or `zef install Linenoise` or use 
rlwrap for a line editor

This seems like a Fedora 31 packaging problem to me.

However, after this:
$ zef install Readline

The arrow keys once again work for me.

Hi Norman,

Readline was it.  Joy!  Thank you!

REPL and arrows problem

[Todd Chester via perl6-users]

Hi All,

Fedora31
Xfce 4.14
xfce4-terminal-0.8.9.1-1.fc31.x86_64

I have the same setup on both computers.  On
my shop computer, in REPL, the arrow keys
do not read correctly:

> a todd special booboo^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D

How do I get my arrow back in REPL on mu
shop computer?

Many thanks,
-T
