Subject: [BUG] babel hangs executing some shell commands in session
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 09:57:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <86sidyiarx.fsf@me.localhost.invalid> (raw)

Hello,

I am going to give an interactive presentation of git using org-mode
and babel.  But I am stuck with random hangs when executing the code
with =C-c C-c= and during export.

I am using Org-mode version 8.2.4 (8.2.4-dist @
/home/vagrant/.emacs.d/el-get/org-mode/lisp/)

The hangs does not always happen, but if you execute the following
code blocks a couple of times you should ran into the problem.

Assumption: the file =/etc/sudoers= contains something like "vagrant
ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" to not ask password with an interactive prompt.

#+PROPERTY: header-args:shell  :session *git-shell* :dir /vagrant
#+PROPERTY: header-args:shell+ :exports both :results output verbatim replace
#+PROPERTY: header-args:shell+ :tangle git_demo.sh :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :comments org

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo apt-get remove --purge --yes git && sudo apt-get autoremove --yes
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo apt-get install --yes git
#+END_SRC

My guess, by looking at the *git-shell* buffer after waiting a minute
and hitting C-g, is that the output of echo 'org_babel_sh_eoe' sometimes
is eaten by some ansi sequence of the interactive command.  See for
example the following cut and paste from the *git-shell* buffer.  Do
babel do something nasty with the shell/term emulator?

#+begin_example
vagrant@git-pratical:/vagrant$ sudo apt-get remove --purge --yes git && sudo apt-get autoremove --yes

#+end_example

An indirect confirmation of my guess comes from a test: redirecting
the output of the command and then printing it.  Using this workaround
babel never hangs:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
(any_strange_command) 1>/tmp/1 2>/tmp/2; cat /tmp/1 /tmp/2
#+END_SRC

Do you think that is easy to fix babel or can you suggest a less
invasive and more comprehensive workaround?  Wrapping loops and pipes is
going to clutter the code to the point that is better to use a script
with inline comments rather that using the org-mode buffer.

Thanks in advance,
Daniele
