-ne in Rstudio terminal

[MarekGierlinski]

After updating RStudio to 2023.09.0 Build 463 I have a strange -ne text appearing in the RStudio Terminal every time I hit enter.

This -ne does not show up in my system terminal or iterm.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I get that also. I think it's because I have .zprezto installed on my Mac. I guess the decorators get rendered as -ne. My current workaround is to start a different type of shell (bash).

[MarekGierlinski]

I use bash. Curiously, when I call a new bash in the Rstudio terminal, the -ne are no longer produced. I will play a bit with my bash settings and try to isolate the issue.

Same issue here.

I could not isolate the problem by excluding bash scripts (~/.bash_profile, etc.). zsh seems fine. The only solution was to reinstall RStudio 2023.06.1+524.

Hypothesis: a new "echo" command somewhere with an unsupported "-n" option?

FYI: Stray `-ne` text in the Terminal · Issue #13809 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub

[MarekGierlinski]

Thank you, @edavidaja. It seems like a confirmed issue. From your link a work-around is to add the following line to ~/.bash_profile:

set +o posix
