Re: Help debugging R source code block output problem with :session

[Jack Kamm <jackkamm@gmail.com>]

Hi Jeremie,

Thanks for volunteering to maintain ob-R.el :)

I'm bumping this patch [0] to see if it could be merged into ob-R.el. It
fixes some long-standing issues with prompt mangling for :session blocks
with :results output.

Elsewhere in the thread, Chuck had a suggestion [1] to allow :results
value to be properly handled in remote sessions. It's not included in
the patch, but worth adding separately IMO.

It may be helpful reading the thread in full -- Chuck had several
comments on ob-R that I found insightful, and may be useful for you to
consider as maintainer. I'd highlight [2] in particular:

All the best,
Jack
