I've cloned a module from GitHub into a local directory, but can't load it in
the REPL using the -I command line argument.
Example, using -e and not using the REPL, which works:
perl6 -I c:\Users\yhluc00\Documents\GitHub\grammar-generative\lib -e "use
Grammar::Generative; say 'Alive'"
Alive
The above, using the REPL:
perl6 -I c:\Users\yhluc00\Documents\GitHub\grammar-generative\lib
You may want to `panda install Readline` or `panda install Linenoise` or use
rlwrap for a line editor
use Grammar::Generative;
Could not find Grammar::Generative in:
C:\Users\yhluc00\AppData\Roaming\.perl6\2016.01.1
C:\rakudo\share\perl6\site
C:\rakudo\share\perl6\vendor
C:\rakudo\share\perl6
CompUnit::Repository::AbsolutePath<109859840>
CompUnit::Repository::NQP<104208984>
CompUnit::Repository::Perl5<104209024>
in any load_module at src/Perl6/World.nqp line 978
...
Note that the path given to -I is not in the list of paths shown in the error
message.
I expected the REPL to respect the "-I" argument, and any other command-line
arguments, to the extent that a REPL can. But maybe my expectation is missing a
good reason to filter out all command-line args from the REPL's environment. Is
this a REPL bug or a problem with my understanding?
