Customized R prompt not working in Rice

[JackieMium]

Nice little tool !
I have a line in my ~/.Rprofile:

options(prompt="\033[0;36mR>>\033[0m"

to customize the R prompt style and color. It worked in R console and in RStudio daily build(yes, stable build does not support this yet ), but Rice won't parse it.

Another thing is that when I type in Rice, the code completion pops up and I use UP-DOWN arrow key to navigate through all cadidate, but when I hit ENTER, the line will be submitted and ran, which is not good logci. In zsh or RStudio, where code completion is implemented, hitting ENTER will usually just input the code completion candidate you choose, not run it immediatly. This is annoying because when I am typing and using code completion, it usually means the line is not done yet. For example, when I input library(MA, MASS pops up and I navigate to it and hit ENTER, the line will run. However, a right braket is absent and the code definitely won't run properly.

You are right that rice doesn't honor that option. Theoretically, rice should be able to support it.

For your second issue, which version of rice are you using? The latest version should not submit the code when enter is hit.

EDIT: Wait, the completion is still not working as expected.

@randy3k I am using rice 0.0.12 under Debian sid x86_64, R version 3.4.1 (2017-06-30) -- "Single Candle"

[randy3k]

The completion issue is fixed at the master branch, I thought I have fixed it but there was a bug.

[JackieMium]

OK, waiting for a perfect solution.

[randy3k]

I am now working on the prompt.

[randy3k]

All fixed, pip install git+https://github.com/randy3k/rice will install the latest commit.

Oops, it was a false +ve

[JackieMium]

I've got the dev version installed now. When ENTER is hitted, a new line is inserted(or, should I say the the input cursor goes to the next line?), is it supposed to be like this?

[randy3k]

It was the bug that I mentioned earlier, it should be fixed by 657e856.

The prompt issue was also addressed at 2064555

[randy3k]

Did you force it to install?

pip install -I git+https://github.com/randy3k/rice

[JackieMium]

Problem solved.
I guess the force to install option did the trick. Didn't know anything about that earlier, sorry.

[randy3k]

Glad that it also works for you.

v0.0.13 is released.
