Topic: Multiline in repl?

Jared Cone (Mar 04 2022 at 23:28):

How do you enter a multiline expression in the REPL?

Zeljko Nesic (Mar 04 2022 at 23:31):

There is a PR for it.

Zeljko Nesic (Mar 04 2022 at 23:31):

Should be merged soon

Jared Cone (Mar 04 2022 at 23:32):

:thumbs_up:

If it's the command-line REPL you can already do it! Use Shift+Enter!
The web REPL will get the same functionality once the PR is merged.

Brian Carroll (Mar 05 2022 at 10:13):

We're going to have to start clarifying this for all REPL questions since we now have two of them with different levels of functionality!

Jared Cone (Mar 05 2022 at 22:44):

shift+enter doesn't seem to be working for me, I get this:

Enter an expression, or :help, or :exit/:q.

» test : {

── UNFINISHED RECORD TYPE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

I am partway through parsing a record type, but I got stuck here:

4│      test : {

Also I should clarify I'm using WSL if that matters

Anton (Mar 06 2022 at 07:38):

Can you make an issue for that @Jared Cone?

Jared Cone (Mar 06 2022 at 21:58):

sure
