Doctest, terminal size, and show's limit interact poorly

dsweber2 · August 5, 2022, 10:23pm

For jldoctests, is there a way to deal with the variation in size caused by show’s limit property? This is causing local doctests to execute fine, but when I push to github, they break.
Simple working example: if I generate the output for zeros(100,100) in one small terminal using doctest(MyPkg,fix=true), I get

```jldoctest
zeros(100,100)

# output

but then when I call doctest(MyPkg) from a different, larger terminal, I got a larger printed result, causing errors:

Documenter doesn’t have a nice built-in way to do it. Hashing out an interface for it and implementing it is an open issue: Controlling output text width in doctests · Issue #942 · JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl · GitHub

However, as is mentioned in that issue, it might be possible to make the outputs consistent by setting ENV["COLUMNS"] and ENV["LINES"] in make.jl (see also ? displaysize). And you can use the doctest = :fix feature to update your doctests when you change the number of lines and columns you want printed.
