[graalvm-users] print.default not being called?

[Rodrigo Botafogo]

Hello,

The following code works fine:

  R.eval(<<-R)
     vec = c(1, 2, 3, 4);
     print(vec);
  R

and prints: [1] 1 2 3 4

Now doing:

  pp = R.eval("print")
  pp.call(Polyglot.eval("R", "c(1, 2, 3, 4)"))

give the following error:

  Failure/Error: pp.call(Polyglot.eval("R", "c(1, 2, 3, 4)"))

  RuntimeError:
   Error in UseMethod("print") :
     no applicable method for 'print' applied to an object of class
'[double, numeric]' (RError)

but doing:

  pp = R.eval("print.default")
  pp.call(Polyglot.eval("R", "c(1, 2, 3, 4)")

works fine.

Seems like ‘print’ when called from Interop does not call ‘print.default’.
Is this a bug?
