Cannot evaluate R in flatwhatson/emacs-pgtk-nativecomp build

[vspinu]

Do you experience this with just ess? There is no polymode functionality in plain R files. Also none of the packages involved advice of the select-window. So the culprit is likely somewhere else, but who knows.

I cannot even configure emacs with native code as of configure: error: Installed libgccjit has failed passing the smoke test. andI don't have time to get into the weeks of gccjit ATM and figure it out. So, I am afraid I probably won't able to help you here any time sooninsh.

It occurs in Polymode buffers (an Rmd document). I tested in a plain .R file buffer after observing it in the Rmd document buffer.

I'll try with emacs -Q and see if I can reproduce it without any Helm or Spacemacs stuff clobbering how I interact with Emacs.

I think you meant for me to try to determine if it's an ESS issue. I'll start there first.

@vspinu I was able to evaluate a line.

1. s/beg/start/g (Unfortunately, I forget which file this is in, and what prompted me to change it).

(defun ess-eval-line (&optional vis)
  "Send the current line to the inferior ESS process.
VIS has same meaning as for `ess-eval-region'."
  (interactive "P")
  (let* ((start (point-at-bol))
         (end (point-at-eol))
         (msg (format "Loading line: %s" (buffer-substring start end))))
    (ess-eval-region start end vis msg)))

2. SPC q D (restart-stock-emacs-with-packges, specifying only ess)
3. Open an Rmd file, M^x ess-eval-line

I'm still not sure what's going on, nor am I confident that my changes were necessary or that this comment will be helpful to you or anyone else.

Changing to Ivy solved my issue, @vspinu. I don't know if the problem was in ess-eval-line or if Helm was the culprit all along. As I learn more about Emacs, I'll be able to make a more informed judgement and I'll open an issue with the proper package.

I'm going to close this issue, as the problem is not with poly-R.
