ACK_PAGER doesn't work when piping data through ack

--pager works, but ACK_PAGER does not.

It works for me: $ echo $ACK_PAGER less -R $ echo foo | ./ack-standalone foo

pipes through less -R

$ ./ack-standalone --help | grep 'is version' This is version 2.11_02 of ack.

Is this issue still valid?

I second @bartlomiejb's comment; it works as expected for me as well.

Using ack standalone v2.14. Test performed:

$ echo Foo|ack Foo --pager="less -r"
$ export ACK_PAGER="less -r" ; echo Foo|ack Foo

Pipes ack output through less -r in both cases.

Thanks for weighing in @bartlomiejb and @h3xx ; I'll close this then.
