Is there a good way of throwing Runtime errors while running Repl?

This library is absolutely a wonderful treasure I've found. Thank you.

The solution might already exist, if that's the case, then I couldn't find it. Perhaps writing a documentation would attract more people using it?

Anyway, Is there a way to elegantly abort evaluation with a runtime error message similar to parser.abort()? For example, divide-by-zero error or arithmetic errors. I just don't want to see a log from Java. Or do I have to extend Repl? In any case, I think it would be a good thing to have a switch on whether or not to dump the whole error log while running Repl.

Hi @danvim . Nice to see I have a user! Thanks for the praise :) I can absolutely add some more documentation. If would be great if you could describe what you would like to see documented or improved, so I can start with the most important parts.

What you say regarding the Repl makes a lot of sense. So I've reverted the default behavior in Repl. It now propagates all exceptions by default. I also added functionality for specifying parsing and evalution functions to swallow and resume if needed. You can see examples of this in ReplTest.

Could you try the master branch to see if it works for you now? When you're happy, I can release a new version.

Wow! Thank you for your quick response! Honestly, I thought this great piece of work was already covered in dust. I'll try it out very soon. Meanwhile, I need to post another issue :P

No worries! I'm using this lib for my site http://durat.io , so it's being kept alive. I was thinking we could move to stackoverflow for the questions, so that they are more visible. Do you have an account there? If so, create your questions there under #bychan and ping me, and I'll start subscribing to the tag.

@atorstling thanks, will do, I have an account there

Is the code working for you? Can I close the issue?

[danvim]

Yes, you can close the issue, thanks! :)
