Typing closing bracket gives extra bracket when package loaded from startup file

[dpsanders]

Typing [] gives []]

[KristofferC]

This used to work.

[KristofferC]

Does this only happen if OhMyREPL is loaded at startup?

[dpsanders]

Yes it only happens if loaded at startup.

[KristofferC]

The problem is that Pkg overwrites our keybinding for ] when the Pkg REPL loads (after OhMyREPL)...

[dpo]

I have the same issue. The same behavior occurs with double quotes: typing "" gives """ when loaded at startup. Same with curly braces.

[KristofferC]

I can only repro with [].

[dpo]

My bad, nevermind.

[ssfrr]

Pretty hacky but for now I'm working around this by adding the following after using OhMyREPL in my startup.jl:

@async begin
    # reinstall keybindings to work around https://github.com/KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl/issues/166
    sleep(1)
    OhMyREPL.Prompt.insert_keybindings()
end

[dpsanders]

@ssfrr's solution no longer seems to work for me?

[dpsanders]

@ssfrr's solution seems to be working now, thanks!
Maybe this should be added to the README?

This issue also affects vim-slime plug-in (to send block of code to julia REPL for evaluation). Without ssfrr's hack, an extra ']' is appended to any line of code that has a '[' upon vim-slime transfer. This causes arrays and list comprehension syntax to be corrupted by the appended bracket. But if ssfrr's hack is added to the startup.jl after OhMyREPL, the appended ']' no longer appears on vim-slime transfer to julia REPL.

[timrandg]

# startup.jl
# to automate adding OhMyREPL package to REPL on startup
atreplinit() do repl
    try
        @eval using OhMyREPL
    catch e
        @warn "error while importing OhMyREPL" e
    end

    @async begin
    # reinstall keybindings to work around https://github.com/KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl/issues/166
    sleep(1)
    OhMyREPL.Prompt.insert_keybindings()
    end
end

Do you use vim-slime with tmux? If so, I think it's because slime doesn't use bracketed paste by default. See jpalardy/vim-slime#254 and #224.

[arnauqb]

@carlocab Am I correct in saying that your fix to this problem was reverted in vim-slime? I am using tmux + vim-slime and facing the same issue. Did you find a workaround?

[carlocab]

It was reverted, yes. I haven't managed to look into a workaround -- I don't use vim-slime much lately, so the issue hasn't bothered me so much.

I think the idea would be to only selectively activate bracketed paste with tmux, but I'm not sure what the best way to do that is yet.

[anandijain]

It doesn't only happen if in startup.jl for me. The bodge doesn't work for me.
While typing [] for me gives [] but any multiline copy-pasting involving [ will fail, ie

  eqs = [D(x) ~ σ*(y-x),
         D(y) ~ x*(ρ-z)-y,
         D(z) ~ x*y - β*z]

gives

julia> eqs = [D(x) ~ σ*(y-x),]
1-element Vector{Equation}:
 Differential(t)(x(t)) ~ σ*((y(t)) - (x(t)))

julia> D(y) ~ x*(ρ-z)-y,
            D(z) ~ x*y - β*z]
ERROR: syntax: extra token "]" after end of expression

This is (likely) an issue with Windows, you can turn off the bracket completion: https://kristofferc.github.io/OhMyREPL.jl/latest/features/bracket_complete/#Settings.

No I am on macOS observing same behavior with ] not closing. Using OhMyREPL.

The ssfrr hack above fixes the problem

[dpo]

The workaround above again no longer works for me. macOS, iTerm2, Julia 1.8.1. My startup.jl contains:

atreplinit() do repl
    try
        @info "importing OhMyREPL (incl. fzf)"
        @eval using OhMyREPL
        @async begin
            # reinstall keybindings to work around https://github.com/KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl/issues/166
            sleep(1)
            OhMyREPL.Prompt.insert_keybindings()
            OhMyREPL.enable_autocomplete_brackets(false)
        end
    catch e
        @error "error while importing OhMyREPL" e
    end
end

Is there any chance of disabling bracket autocompletion by default?

[iamed2]

@dpo I have the same system configuration, but my startup is doing:

using OhMyREPL

@async begin
    # reinstall keybindings to work around https://github.com/KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl/issues/166
    sleep(1)
    OhMyREPL.Prompt.insert_keybindings()
end

This doesn't include graceful failure or logging (I have to pass --startup-file=no if I use an environment without OhMyREPL or deal with the error), but it seems to be working for me.

[dpo]

@iamed2 Thank you for the response.

I thought the atreplinit() ... bit was necessary. I got it from the docs. I hadn't noticed before that the @async bit was outside the try ... catch. I tried moving mine out, but the problem persists.

I have OhMyREPL in my global environment. Indeed, removing atreplinit() ... works. So I'm now even more confused. However, if I also have an atreplinit() bit where I import other packages, the dreaded bracket autocompletion returns.

My config works fine with Julia 1.7. It's with Julia 1.8 that it seems to break.

[axsk]

I can just confirm that enable_autocomplete_brackets(false) has no effect / errors inside the async block in startup.jl.
However, insert_keybindings does not seem to be necessary anymore to avoid the ]].

[ghyatzo]

Currently on julia 1.8.3
I have in my startup.jl

try
    println("Starting OhMyREPL...")
    using OhMyREPL
catch e
    @warn "Error initializing OhMyREPL" exception=(e, catch_backtrace())
end
@async begin
    while !isdefined(Base, :active_repl) sleep(0.1) end
    OhMyREPL.Prompt.insert_keybindings()
end

and it currently works, I switched to a sleeping while loop waiting to have a handle for the active repl, instead of just sleep(1) which seemd a bit too arbitrary for my tastes.

[dpo]

@ghyatzo I tried with and without OhMyREPL.enable_autocomplete_brackets(false) inside your @async block, but neither works for me.

[vancleve]

Should this issue be closed by #297 ?

[PhyX-Meow]

This seems to be back in julia 1.11-beta2.
