Recalling command history no longer works in 2.7.0 about irb HOT 13 CLOSED

Thanks @ozzyaaron that fixed it for me too

from irb.

Would you install the latest version by gem install irb reline and try again?

from irb.

My apologies I thought this was the latest released version. Same with:

irb 1.2.3
reline 0.1.3

from irb.

I can't reproduce what you reported. Could you copy and paste your complete reproducible log including outputs of IRB?

from irb.

Starting a new irb session from my home directory:

Last login: Mon Mar 30 09:38:48 on ttys011
➜  ~ irb
2.7.0 :001 > Dir['*']
 => ["Music", "Pictures", "Code", "Talks", "Desktop", "Library", "Documents", "Downloads"]
2.7.0 :002 >

Pressing the up arrow key produces no further output, I would expect it to show Dir['*'].

from irb.

The following (in the same shell) allows history:

2.7.0 :002 > exit
➜  ~ irb --legacy
2.7.0 :001 > 

from irb.

from irb.

If I can provide anything more to help reproduce this let me know because its driving me up the wall!

from irb.

Hmm...I tried to reproduce with other Ruby committers on macOS with iTerm2 but I couldn't. Are you using .irbrc and .inputrc?

from irb.

.irb-history is recording commands, which I guess is why --legacy can replay them.

➜  ~ cat .irbrc
cat: .irbrc: No such file or directory
➜  ~ cat .inputrc
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set completion-ignore-case on
set bell-style none

from irb.

@JonRowe I had the same issue and this fixed it for me https://stackoverflow.com/a/60142403 as I had the same .inputrc mods as the OP

from irb.

@JonRowe I implemented history-search-backward and history-search-forward by ruby/reline#142, and released a new version of reline gem. Please install the latest version by gem install reline.

from irb.

For me this issue only occurs when using bundler. Using irb standalone works fine. But bundle exec irb or the using the rails console will not show any history (it is logged to .irb_history).
