I'm trying to set up realgud using ipdb with emacs. The problem is that the following is displayed at the command prompt (running realgud:ipdb): [6n[Jipdb> [6D[6C[6D[J[6n[Jipdb> [6D[6C
From googling around, I came across various links that I think explain what the problem is, but the solutions therein didn't fix my problem:
Why does *compilation* buffer show control characters?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just as an update, I managed to fix the problem by adding the following into an executable file in my PATH:
#!/bin/bash
ipython --simple-prompt -i -c "%run -d $@"
Then in emacs when running realgud:ipdb, when asked what command to use, just switch out ipdb with whatever you name the executable file.
On OS X you will need the following package though: https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell
in spacemacs, add the shell layer, will solve this problem:
Commit b8b587b of Nov 26, 2018 may fix this.
