I'm following along with the book Practical Common Lisp and I'm getting unexpected behavior. The code is the following:
(defun prompt-read (prompt)
(format *standard-output* "~a: " prompt)
(force-output *standard-output*)
(read-line *standard-input*))
(defun prompt-for-cd ()
(make-cd
(prompt-read "Title")
(prompt-read "Artist")
(or (parse-integer (prompt-read "Rating") :junk-allowed t) 0)
(y-or-n-p "Ripped [y/n]: ")))
The program is supposed to prompt a user for a title, accept a title, prompt a user for an artist, accept an artist, etc. until the user has entered all the information. Just running prompt-read in the REPL successfully prompts the user for the desired prompt and returns the result. However, this is my output from running prompt-for-cd:
My program still accepts input, but it stops prompting the user after the first prompt.
Compiling and loading the file where I define the functions seems to show the prompts that should have been shown to the user the last time I ran prompt-for-cd. Here's a screenshot of what that looks like:
After some investigation, I noticed that this is only happening in Sly's REPL. Here's the output of the program when I just load the file with SBCL:
How can I get console prompts to work as expected in Sly?
