Description of change

Enabling ~~paste~~ editor mode support for REPL (inspired by scala REPL).

I think this change needs to be voted on or at least discussed first - but personally I'm in favor - thanks for the contribution!

Trott · 2016-06-12T14:41:07Z

Can you add a test for paste mode? Existing repl tests are in test/parallel/test-repl*.

princejwesley · 2016-06-12T15:05:35Z

@Trott Done!

Trott · 2016-06-13T20:22:45Z

/cc @Fishrock123

cjihrig · 2016-06-14T12:59:35Z

This code looks strange because of the indentation. Maybe change it to string concatenations.

Trott · 2016-06-14T18:44:32Z

The doc could probably use some information about what paste mode is.

Trott · 2016-06-14T18:48:35Z

Based on git shortlog -n -s lib/repl.js --since 'one year ago', /cc @thefourtheye @bnoordhuis @addaleax

Keep in mind that more of us have touched the internal module.

I probably won't get to taking a look soon, but I'll leave my assignee as a self reminder for now.

addaleax · 2016-06-15T19:02:51Z

This should probably line up with e instanceof Recoverable…

Fishrock123 · 2016-06-17T14:31:29Z

better as a .prototype method?

Fishrock123 · 2016-06-17T14:58:34Z

Could someone elaborate on the benefits of this vs just normally pasting? Is it because you can edit the paste?

@Fishrock123

All lines of code entered in the paste mode will be executed at one shot. No more guesses on whether the emitted error is recoverable or not! It fixes most of the multiline mode issues.
Even though its called paste mode (copied the name and idea from scala REPL), Its precisely an instant, line buffered editor (Lazy multiline mode).
In paste mode, ~~tab completion~~, history navigation shortcuts are turned off. All other terminal shortcuts are preserved
We can cancel the whole input but the history is preserved since terminal is line buffered(Worked the same way like scala REPL)

Fishrock123 · 2016-06-17T20:04:38Z

@princejwesley Shouldn't tab completion still work?

Sounds like I should give this a try. I'm not so sure .paste is appropriate... maybe .editor?

princejwesley · 2016-06-17T20:17:54Z

@Fishrock123 Yes. .editor is good. I turned off tab complete to keep editor clean from tab completion output! Comment those statements and try!

trevnorris · 2016-08-02T16:04:30Z

@princejwesley To confirm, there's nothing here that checks for tab press anymore (i.e. would conflict with #7754)?

princejwesley · 2016-08-02T16:29:45Z

@trevnorris Good point. I'll pull the patch and test locally.

Sorry, a bit late to the issue because I just found it in the release notes. As I understand it this feature is strictly about delaying the execution of the command until you're done entering all the lines? I was hoping when I saw the feature name that it would allow me to fix previous lines if I make an error, but it seems once I hit enter that I can't go back.

PeterAronZentai · 2016-08-26T15:13:59Z

Yeah, that was my first impression too, maybe because it is called .editor. Probably .paste would create less confusion.
