startup.jl bug?

[AlexisRenchon]

having
using ReplGPT
in my startup.jl file does not work (typing } in the REPL doesn't go into ChatGPT mode)
also, if I explicitly type using ReplGPT, it still won't work if it was in startup.jl

It all works well if NOT in startup.jl though.

Interesting! It looks like this has to do with how startup.jl works. The ReplMaker.jl README had some helpful tips and I've implemented them in #10. Seems to work! Want to try out that branch and see if it works for you too?

The quick test would:

pkg> add https://github.com/ThatcherC/ReplGPT.jl.git#work-in-startup-jl

Then quit Julia, start it a few times with and without startup.jl, see if it works.

And then pkg> free ReplGPT to return to the main package version.

If that works well for you I'll merge it and tag a new release!

Does it work for you?
It didn't for me:

Huh, weird. It does work for me, both on 1.8 and 1.9:

I wonder if the conflict is with OhMyREPL. (Turns out it is!)

When have using OhMyREPL; using ReplGPT in my startup.jl, I get the same error you're seeing - the } just doesn't work:

thatch@bend:~$ ~/Programs/julia-1.9.0-rc1/bin/julia

However, when I have using ReplGPT; using OhMyREPL, I get a note from ReplMaker saying that the } key has been overwritten:

thatch@bend:~$ nano ~/.julia/config/startup.jl   # "using OhMyREPL; using ReplGPT"

So there's some kind of conflict there. I'll check it out! It might have something to do with this atreplinit tip mentioned on the OhMyREPL docs.

Perhaps this might help... I tend to add a small delay for secondary packages to be activated only once other packages have done their bit.

startup.jl

# this isn't necessary, I use it to get rid of the logs during initialization
using Suppressor

Base.atreplinit() do repl
    @eval begin
        # other stuff
        
        #ReplGPT
        @async begin
            sleep(1)
            @suppress @eval using ReplGPT
            @suppress ReplGPT.init_repl()
        end
    end
end

sorry neither of your solution work for me
