I appreciate that the opposite of this question has been asked and incorporated as a feature in data.table. However, is there a way to make the output visible (preferably via options())? I tried options(datatable.verbose = TRUE) but that returns the operations of := rather than the result.

I understand I can chain [] at the end, but I am after a global but reversible alternative.

  • Are you asking on how to bring back the bug? Why should this print upon assignment? What use case do you have for this? – David Arenburg Feb 28 '16 at 10:48
  • Yes, that's what I'm asking. The use case is: debugging. Or making sure the assignment has completed as expected. – Hugh Feb 28 '16 at 10:49

    What about `debug()` ? – jogo Feb 28 '16 at 10:52
  • I know of no such option; it shouldn't be that hard to `CTRL+F` for `[ ]` and delete it when you're done debugging. – MichaelChirico Feb 29 '16 at 22:53

    +1: For those that use a repl-style interactive development environment (similar to Common Lisp and Slime), printing the output after assignment might be seen as a feature, not a bug. – Clayton Stanley Mar 01 '16 at 00:45
