Console doesn't respond to commands intermitently?

[dblodgett-usgs]

I know I'm not crazy, but I have no idea how to reproduce this. From time to time, when I enter a command in the console, I just get a blank new line -- like the command was never dispatched to R. It seems like it's when I ctrl-c to cancel out of what I was doing but now, when I try that, I can't reproduce. Is this something people have already reported and I can't find in the issues or should I continue to try and reproduce the issue so I can report it in a helpful way?

Here -- I reproduced it.

That targets dynamic branch name doesn't exist.

I typed

one <- 1 in the console, hit enter, pasted some random text, ctrl-c, printed the value of one, then tried to print a nonexistent variable. It just gave me a blank line.

This has happened to me a bunch where I do something that SHOULD work but it just does nothing like I never registered a command.

Hmmmmm, I don't think we have seen reports like this! 😱 I just tried to reproduce this behavior but could not locally; the nonexistent variable correctly errored with "object not found".

Can you set the log level for the R kernel to "trace":

And then the next time this happens to you, can you check out your kernel and console logs (in Output):

The console logs might be especially interesting, because that is where the logs show you the messages back from and forth from the console to R itself.
