Console.WriteLine(char value) overload not displaying in Results Panel

[xgdoggiex]

Hello!

I appear to be having an issue displaying the output of the below example code in NetPad:

char a = 'I';
Console.WriteLine("Printing a char");
Console.WriteLine(a);

It appears as though using the Console.WriteLine(char value) overload does not print anything to the Results pane:

NetPad Version: v0.7.1

Thank you for reporting, I'll get this fixed.

Have done some digging into the problem.

In the ExternalScriptRunner.cs a process runs the dotnet application and the output ends up in OnProcessOutputRecevied

{
    "type":"HtmlResultsScriptOutput",
    "output": {
        "body":"<div class="group text"><br/></div>",
        "order":1
    }
}

although the only chars gets parsed weired. Have not checked the dll that gets generated in the tmp/Processes, may be an issue there

@SimonNyvall thanks for digging in. The issue is most likely in the ActionTextWriter which derives from TextWriter. There I'm overriding Write(string value) and WriteLine(string value) but when writing a char it doesn't go through that method and most likely goes through WriteLine(char value). We can override all the overloads from TextWriter but I don't think we need to. Instead we can only override a select few that all the other overloads eventually funnel to.

I imagine WriteLine(char value) will have to be overridden since if I had to guess it would be one of those terminal functions that won't call another overload.

@tareqimbasher thanks you so much for the tip! I looked at the ActionTextWriter yesterday and thought it wrote to the Console output and not to the dll files.

Made a fix and can create a PR if you would like?

That's great! Go ahead and submit a PR. Thanks for working on this.
