Steps to reproduce the issue:

library(dplyr)

data(starwars)

starwars |>
  mutate(des = paste(name, 'has', eye_color, 'eyes')

What did you expect to happen?

unmatched_parenthesis = starwars |>

• mutate(des = paste(name, 'has', eye_color, 'eyes')
• matched_parenthesis = starwars |> Error: unexpected symbol in: " mutate(des = paste(name, 'has', eye_color, 'eyes') matched_parenthesis"

Were there any error messages in the Output panel or Developer Tools console?

DEBUG Comments: URIs of continue on comments to add to storage . was the only thing that appeared on my end

Here's a reprex of what I think the problem is. When you select a chunk in the editor and sent it to the console, if it isn't "complete" then you can repeatedly send that chunk to the console and not get a syntax error (RStudio does error as you'd expect here).

Compare that to sending it the the console once, and then going over in the console and manually pasting it in a second time (or typing anything in the console besides the expected ) to finish it out). In that case you get the expected syntax error.

OHH wow that is a nifty trick! Thank you so much!

I think this is actually an issue where we need to decide whether or not we want to match RStudio's behavior when we are repeatedly sending an incomplete chunk to the console - so I'm going to reopen this until we decide

Okay, no worries!
