Hi Chris, I can use the terminal window before loading the edit window, but I won't be able to access the variables declared in the edit window until it is run, which I think is reasonable behaviour.
The issues at the beginning of this thread, I believe, are the result of trying to access variables declared in the edit window on the terminal before the edit window has been loaded. Sort of the same situation as script files and the terminal session if you did not know that script files needed to be loaded. In the case of the Playground, the edit window is seen at the same time as the terminal, so the user might assume that all information is available in both places. I agree that the edit window is not necessary when running labs, but I think Joe is rightly focussing on the correctness of the Playground's results and will move back to the interface when he is comfortable with the Playground's accuracy. These comments are useful when he gets back to working in that area, but would be better if they were entered as issues here: https://github.com/jsoftware/j-playground/issues Cheers, bob > On May 11, 2022, at 10:36, chris burke <[email protected]> wrote: > > This just looks like a bug.
