io.read waits before any print() output? [message #1416796] Wed, 13 February 2013 19:29 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I am trying to run my script in the editor which has code something like this:


print('Enter your Name:')
io.read('*line')


When I run it does not print out 'Enter your Name' until after I type something in the console and hit enter. This kind of defeats the point of having a prompt. This applies to all print() functions that I have in code before or after the io.read(). Nothing gets printed until all of the io.read() commands have received input, then everything comes out afterward.

I have run the same code in a different editor (Zerobrane) and it works as I would expect (i.e. prints the prompt then waits for input).

Any suggestions?

Hi Kevin,

First, thanks to take time for feedback.

To work as you expect, the sdtout buffer have to be configured by adding the following line at the top of your file:
io.stdout:setvbuf('no')

As explain in the documentation here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Koneki/LDT/Developer_Area/User_Guides/User_Guide_0.9#Local_Interpreters (buffer configuration part). You can also execute this line at each launch of your interpreter by adding the option -e "io.stdout:setvbuf('no')" to your interpreter in the configure interpreter preference page.

As other users may have the same expectation as you about the console behavior, I have also open this bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=400938 to set this interpreter argument option by default for JNLua interpreters.

Thank you. Fixed the problem perfectly. I figured there was something I missed in the setup.
