Bug ID: 463346
Summary: Make R console compatible with 'cli' R package
Classification: Applications
Product: rkward
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: rkward-de...@kde.org
Reporter: fl...@mailoo.org
Target Milestone: ---
The console interface of RKWard is starting to get incompatible with much of
the sugar coming from tidyverse packages, especially when it comes to features
provided by the 'cli' package. This package is, among other things, responsible
for output colouration (in error messages, printing tibbles, etc.) and since
very recently, for printing progress bars in e.g. purrr package.
Although those features work in R itself and even modified interfaces such a
radian, they do not work in RKWard (colours are overridden and, most
problematically, purrr's progress bar are not shown at all). This is the crux
of the bug here.
I know this is not a very easy request, but would there be a way to make RKWard
R console closer to pure R console (or to radian, for that matter?), in order
to avoid such incompatibilities?
(My dream would be to be able to use directly radian as RKWard's console, as it
offers very nice features missing from RKWard's R console such history browsing
because on completion, multiline input, access to bash terminal and so on, but
I know this is not a mere matter of plugin a program into the window of
another...)
