OSX terminal broken after closing REPL

[maurolopes]

If I open the REPL and run aprint on any collection and then close the REPL, my terminal no longer works properly. It does not show the text I type in. The command-line is invisible, though the output of those commands are visible. Do you know what may cause this behavior? I am running it on MacOS X (the problem occurs in both Terminal and iTerm2). Other than that aprint works great!

Thanks!

Maybe some escape-chars aren't "closed" normally or some output is already colored and stripped...
Try to execute (aprint 1) for example.

Please, provide sample data (better if it will be a file, not copypaste) and screenshot.

You also can switch off the color temporally as it's mentioned in readme

[maurolopes]

Redirecting (ap 1) to a file gives me:

^[[34m1^[[0m

Does it help?

[razum2um]

Nope. it's correct ^[[0m is the code to reset color in terminal. it could help if you're not seeing anything. It should terminate any colored string just like a bracket.

I asked for the case to reproduce the problem.

[maurolopes]

Also, it may be helpful to know that the problem occurs only after I close the REPL. If I run cat myfile (where myfile is where I redirected aprint output) it works fine, printing a colored 1 and keeping my terminal working properly. If I do lein run -m my-func, this also prints a colored 1 and keeps my terminal working properly. So the problem is only after running in the REPL.

[razum2um]

Can you please provide a sample application that reproduces the error?

[maurolopes]

Sure. It is very simple:

$ cat src/my_test/core.clj
(ns my-test.core
  (:require [aprint.core]))
(defn my-aprint []
  (aprint.core/aprint 123))
$ lein run -m my-test.core/my-aprint
123
------> at this point everything still works fine
$ lein repl
user=> (require 'my-test.core)
nil
user=> (my-test.core/my-aprint)
123
nil
user=> Bye for now!
------> at this point, everything I type in the terminal is invisible

I have tested it on Linux now and it works perfectly. It seems to be some incompatibility with Mac OS.

I think you should check your terminal settings, its colorscheme and probably, shell...

I cannot reproroduce your issue on mac10.9
in iterm2 (my default) - http://take.ms/J4T61
in terminal with my zsh config - http://take.ms/ZHapn
in default terminal with default bash - http://take.ms/oXw7m

You can also try to setup environment like mine if you like :)
i use https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles with some clojurish vim plugins

[maurolopes]

I have tried in Terminal and iTerm2 in two computers here and both have this problem. Unfortunately I did not find any settings that could solve this. I will tell you if I discover anything new. Thanks for your efforts!

[razum2um]

@maurolopes if you like, you can setup a vm image and send it to me.
osx works in parallels and afaik in virtualbox too, but I understand it's not as easy as for linux distro

I use the example in your project’s README.md. You can see, I only used aprint.

[razum2um]

strange.. feel like I need a fresh virtual osx installation and will give it a try there, will inform you about progress

[venantius]

I am also experiencing this issue. On OS X Yosemite (10.10.1); iTerm2 Build 2.0.0.20141103. For me the behavior was specifically triggered after making an aprint function call; the require for aprint.core doesn't introduce any problems, nor does the dependency being present (obvz).

I also ran into this when I repeated calling read-line and aprint to build my own REPL.
