Hello!

Rob Browning <rlb <at> defaultvalue.org> skribis:

> I noticed that 00-repl-server.test had failed on some of the debian

>   Running 00-initial-env.test

The reason is that ‘repl-reader’ in boot-9.scm goes like this:

  (lambda* (prompt #:optional (reader (fluid-ref current-reader)))
    (if (not (char-ready?))
        (begin
          (display (if (string? prompt) prompt (prompt)))
          (set-port-column! (current-output-port) 0)))
    (force-output)
    (run-hook before-read-hook)
    ((or reader read) (current-input-port)))

Thus, if there’s already data available on the current input port, it
does not print the prompt.

That situation can arise in 00-repl-server.test if we write “(+ 40 2)”
too quickly.

Fixed in 2fbde7f02adb8c6585e9baf6e293ee49cd23d4c4.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
