Re: Prompting for input inside IDE (SSCCE) (half SOLVED)

SSCCE

based on Haj's example

use v5.12;
use warnings;

STDOUT->autoflush;
STDERR->autoflush;
STDIN->autoflush;

say "Give me a cookie: ";
my $thing = readline(STDIN);
$thing =~ /^(a )?cookie$/ or warn "That was no cookie.";

say "Thanks and goodbye!";

die "exiting here";
[download]

expected output in pre/tt


Give me a cookie:                                               # waits for input
croock                                                          # manual input             
That was no cookie. at emacs_input.pl line 10, <STDIN> line 1.  # jumps to line 10
Thanks and goodbye!
exiting here at emacs_input.pl line 14, <STDIN> line 1.         # jumps to line 14

For better understanding I manually added meta info

STDOUT in black
STDIN in red
STDERR resp. clickable cross-refs as hrefs
additional comments in grey

FWIW

I've stumbled over a SO discussion which made this (half) work.

> C-u M-x compile and ... compilation buffer will be in comint mode, i.e. interactive.

(the C-u means prefix arg, a very e-lisp-ish annoyance)

I still have to find a way to make this work inside mode-compile

patching this in mode-compile.el seems to work

    
(defun mc--compile (compile-command)
  ;; Call compile with the compile command
  ;; but append the remote-command before
  (if (null mc--remote-command)
      ;; local compile
      (mc--compile-sav compile-command t)                        ; <--
+-- "t" added to list
    ;; remote compile
    (let ((thisdir (expand-file-name (or default-directory "~"))))
      (mc--compile-sav
       (concat
        ;; The command to lauch remote commands
        mc--remote-command
        ;; Change to this buffer directory ...
        "'( cd " thisdir " ; "
        ;; then run the compile command
        compile-command " )'")))))
[download]

But I'm not too sure, only using emacs for 30 years now...
