From: eregontp@... Date: 2020-02-23T11:33:34+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:97243] [Ruby master Bug#16647] Redefining $/ causes irb to misbehave Issue #16647 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze). Out of curiosity, why do you overwrite $/? My personal opinion is we should deprecate all these variables affecting default separators, they tend to break any non-trivial program, not just IRB, and explicit seems always clearer. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16647: Redefining $/ causes irb to misbehave https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16647#change-84355 * Author: mehagar (Michael Hagar) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-darwin19] * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- If I start irb and then do: ``` ruby $/ = "asdf" ``` then every character I type shows a newline on the irb console. Previous versions of ruby do not have this behavior, and it is annoying. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
