This deals with external process :results value mode for R, ruby,
python, perl and clojure: if the shell process has a non-zero exit
code, a buffer containing stderr is displayed.
At this commit, org-babel-shell-command-on-region is a direct copy of
shell-command-on-region. In addition to switching to use the org-babel
version, we change the argument passed so that they agree with the
docstring of s-c-o-r.
Despite the change in arguments, the same behaviour results because
s-c-o-r does not behave as documented in emacs23. Future commits will
be able to fix these bugs in the org-babel version, as necessary.
When using ':results value' in certain situations, results are written
to file by the foreign language process and subsequently read from
file by emacs into an elisp table structure. If the foreign language
process is running remotely, then the results are written
remotely. These changes ensure that in that case, an appropriate
remote file name is constructed to read the remote data.
Before this change we have
#+begin_src ruby :results value :session
["1", "3"]
#+end_src
#+results:
: 1", "3
After, we have
#+begin_src ruby :results value :session
["1", "3"]
#+end_src
#+results:
| 1 | 3 |
With this change, if :file <filepath> is specified, ruby and python
blindly output a link to <filepath>. Responsibility for creating the
contents in <filepath> lies with the python/ruby code.
