[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 16.10 [Released git: e92ed78b8890]; Quoted Comment Character and C-c C-c

Tue Nov 21 14:14:03 CET 2017

Hi,

In an R source file, I have the line:

scored <- read.csv(scored_path, comment.char="#")

When I'm on the line and execute ess-eval-region-or-function-or-paragraph-and-step (i.e. C-c C-c), R only receives this:

> scored <- read.csv(scored_path, comment.char="
+

As you see, the function isn't parsing the line correctly: it stops reading at the R comment character even though it is between quotes.

How do I make the function parse the quoted comment char correctly?

If I select the line as a region, then C-c C-c works correctly, which is a workaround but not what I seek. I have searched the fine manual for "comment" but nothing useful came out. And I have searched for "ess-eval-region-or-function-or-paragraph-and-step comment char" but nothing useful came up.
