[Bug]: Output being excessively truncated, causing gt to print incomplete tables
erikvona opened this issue · comments
Bug description
The output of chunks in WebR is being heavily truncated. This causes the package gt to malfunction, since a table contains so much CSS it is pretty much always truncated
Steps to reproduce
```{webr-r}
#| results: asis
webr::install("gt")
gt::gt(mtcars) |> print(view = FALSE)
```
Expected: The full table is printed. Actual: a warning is printed (Warning: printing of extremely long output is truncated) and only the table headers are printed.
This can be ameliorated by chunking the output, e.g.:
```{webr-r}
#| results: asis
webr::install("gt")
fix_print <- function(characters, max_print = 100){
i <- 1
while(nchar(characters) >= i){
cat(substring(characters, i, i + max_print ))
i <- i + max_print + 1
}
}
gt::gt(mtcars) |> gt::as_raw_html(inline_css = FALSE) |> fix_print()
```
I've tracked the error message to this line in WebR, but the WebR REPL does not produce this error and can produce the full output.
Your environment
Online: on https://quarto-webr.thecoatlessprofessor.com/demos/qwebr-code-cell-options.html#results-option there's a chunk with #| results: asis
which can be used to reproduce this behavior.
Also, Windows 10, R 4.4.0.

@erikvona going to upstream a portion of the printing cut-off to the main webR repo. The difference with the webR REPL vs the quarto-webr
code cell is we're using Shelter.captureR()
instead of Console
to obtain and process output.
The later portion regarding the asis
is related to #166
Relevant ticket: r-wasm/webr#434
George expanded the buffer in webR. So the latest version has been fixed. It'll propagate out in either v0.3.4/v0.4.0.
