C-y kills Ammonite

[Blaisorblade]

Most Scala REPLs (including Ammonite right now) tend* to die after I type C-y (that is, Ctrl-y) and resume, instead of pasting what I just C-k'ed, with an InterruptedException on reading.

I tracked this down to C-y causing (by default) a delayed suspend, that is a suspend when the process reads from input (like C-z). This can be disabled through stty dsusp undef, also used in JLine, but that's commented out with a "blows up on ubuntu" comment. Alternatively, one could catch the InterruptedException, match on the error message and ignore the exceptions with the right message (although that's probably not extremely robust) — you often don't want to ignore all InterruptedException.

*That is, they repeatably die until this bug is somewhen fixed — both SBT and scala had it at some point.

I just verified that stty dsusp undef simply fails under Ubuntu 14.04 (inside/outside tmux). Can we just run the command and ignore failure? If this doesn't work, we could try to learn that dsusp is not supported (visible at least from stty -a, not sure whether also visible through infocmp).

Sure! I'm not sure if you already found this but it sounds like you have

https://github.com/lihaoyi/Ammonite/blob/master/terminal/src/main/scala/ammonite/terminal/Utils.scala#L66-L67

Feel free to try out whatever fix you want and send a PR

[Blaisorblade]

On it (yes, I found that snippet). Tests on project repl seem to fail on current master (no CI?) — it looks like my fix doesn't cause further regressions.

[lihaoyi]

Current master should work. Where are you seeing it broken?

[Blaisorblade]

Re the bug, see the PR #190.

Re the test failures, I looked into them. #192 might be a real bug.

The rest is mostly spurious failures — they affect at most Ammonite developers. Even then, some are worth a look:

• #191
• ProjectTests.finagle tries binding port 8080, even when it's already busy, and fails the test (it doesn't even error out, which would be more accurate).
• With a 64bit machine and only 1G of RAM for SBT, some tests fail (EulerTests.p5, AdvancedTests.compilerPlugin); I fixed my SBT config, but this is arguably worth documenting (more likely not).
