Repl outputs some hidden chars somehow

[arichiardi]

Hi Antonio,

I know this report is very vague, but you can observe here that maybe some escape character, maybe due to the highlight, is off. Inf-clojure can understand ANSI colors the output and it does, but the format of these characters is not valid for it. Again, I am not an expert in the area therefore I am not sure.

At the moment inf-clojure strips out the characters, but I wanted to open an issue because it might probably better to fix it here, if somebody has some suggestion on how to.

Thanks!

This is related to the node readline it seems:

nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#5344

So it seems that I can simply use the -d option for solving this problem.

This is still a bug. We should not output escape characters to the socket repl output

[arichiardi]

Just to clarify, this does not happen with socket repl according to my experience.

[anmonteiro]

Wait, so you don't need the socket REPL tonconnect to inf-clojure?!

[arichiardi]

Nope, the socket is just a convenience , the inf- modes are usually used to send to input and read from output descriptors.

start Lumo with --dumb in inf-clojure, or TTY escape codes will be output
