Repl feature not working #365

dantai commented 2026年07月05日 16:47:45 +02:00

Hello,

At this point in time the REPL feature in gram is not working - at least partially. I tested it with R (zed-r extension) (ark kernel) and Julia.
Whilst zed is properly showing the kernel sessions and buttons to interact with in the editor, gram is not able to find the kernel and show it in the session list and does not show the REPL + kernel selection menu in the editor.

gram version is 3.0.1.

How to reproduce:

1. Install zed-R + ark kernel
2. open any R script
3. choose 'repl: refresh kernelspecs' in the action menu.
4. choose 'repl: sessions' to see listed kernel sessions. -> No kernels listed

Expected behavior:
In zed: ark kernel should be found, listed and chooseable inside the editor after running 'refreshing kernelspec' command.

I did not test the repl feature with python yet, so I do not know if it maybe works there?

Idea: Might it be feasible to port the latest repl crate from zed towards gram ? I might try something like that though I fear that it will get very complicated (and my machine is a slow compiler :( ) Or is it better to debug...?

Thank you!

Offtop, but I still don't get why just "text editor" compile longer than Firefox now... Debug compile about 7-10 minutes, but release... Even with Mold or Wild.

@krig, any thoughts about cleaup/remove obsolete code or it's Rust/crates related? It's also ok to create new issue.

@koru Yeah I don't really understand how it can be so big either. It's ridiculous. We've already stripped out a lot of stuff...

@krig really glad you took the initiative to make this fork, hopefully the amount of deps can be drastically reduced as well
