Prompt always delayed with --noreadline --nomultiline

[dgutov]

Description

What are your expected behavior and actual behavior of your environment?

Launch irb --nomultiline --noreadline.

After sending some input, I can only see the prompt if I press RET again. Here's how the session looks:

$ irb --noreadline --nomultiline
irb(main):001:0> 3
=> 3
4
irb(main):002:0> => 4
5
irb(main):003:0> => 5
6
irb(main):004:0> => 6

irb(main):005:0> irb(main):006:0> 7
=> 7
8
irb(main):007:0> => 8
8 + 9
irb(main):008:0> => 17

irb(main):009:0> irb(main):010:0>

What is your IRB::VERSION?

[dgutov]

1.2.3

[dgutov]

1.2.4 also behaves the same.

The problem persists in 1.2.6 and 1.2.7. Seems to be a regression given that StdioInputMethod works fine on Ruby 2.6.5 and irb 1.0.0 (bash, macOS Catalina)

@dgutov @stoyanovskiy239 I think this is fixed by https://github.com/ruby/irb/pull/152. Would you check the latest irb and reline gem by gem install irb reline?

[dgutov]

Looks fixed indeed, with irb 1.3.0 and reline 0.2.0.

Thanks!
