using Plots package, plot windows not shown #125

Closed bernaloo closed 1 year ago

bernaloo commented 1 year ago

Im using the package Plots

https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotDocs.jl.git

and I would like to see the plot windows when using the Julia-repl mode.

Is there a way to let them show up?

Plots show normally for me when using julia-repl. Can you describe your environment a bit (OS, Julia and Emacs versions, etc.)? Do the plots show when you run the same thing on Julia REPL (without Emacs)?

bernaloo commented 1 year ago

I have actually two configurations not showing the plots. One with windows 10 and WSL2 and the other:

Im not sure where to start to debug this.

wentasah commented 1 year ago

I use neither WSL nor MacOS, so I'm afraid I cannot help much here. I'd start by comparing the environment variables (ENV) when running Julia in Emacs and outside of it.

For debugging, you could also try what happens if you run the julia repl manually inside a term/vterm within emacs.

@hexaeder thanks! that was an interesting test.

in WSL, the plot will be shown. in macOS an error will be thrown:

from here I can continue debugging. I will report results

@hexaeder @wentasah following your tips I did manage to bring Julia-repl to plot under emacs. The solution was to set the flags as they were in my native julia-repl environment. I also had to update the page "GK" now I just need to change the behaviour of the hot-key C-C C-B (run the buffer in Julia) no to use ";" at the end. This will mute plots.

You can use C-u C-c C-b, which will not include the file, but send it verbatim to the REPL without appending ;.
