Getting auto_quit to work

[lokesh-krishna]

If I'm understanding the documentation right, R should auto quit by default when using the Neovim terminal. I went ahead and added auto_quit = true to my R.nvim configuration for good measure. However, quitting still doesn't quit the R console, unless I'm misunderstanding what this option is about.

auto_quit.mp4

It should have quit after I quit the file, right?

Yes, this needs more testing. The quit(save="no") command is being sent to R, but I don't know if Neovim is waiting the specified maximum of 3 seconds to let R receive the command and process it (see lines 52-59 of lua/r/edit.lua).

Note: not seeing the command being pasted doesn't mean that it wasn't pated because Neovim usually waits for the commands to be executed to redraw the user interface and, since it's quitting, maybe it doesn't redraw at all.

To confirm that Neovim waits some time when auto_quit is true even when R is running in the built-in terminal emulator, I changed line 355 of lua/r/run.lua from

        qcmd = 'quit(save = "no")'

to

        qcmd = 'Sys.sleep(1); quit(save = "no")'

I can't see the command being pasted into the R Console, but I can note the extra delay to Neovim finishing. So, I think that this discussion can be closed if someone can confirm the same delay on macOS and Windows.
