Empty result in REPL

[raphapassini]

The documentation says that I should have a value in the result variable after successful running a command, which does not holds True.

➜ pymodbus.console tcp --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5020

@dhoomakethu you are the local specialist, any comments ?

@raphapassini which version of pymodbus are you using, on what system ?

[dhoomakethu]

I will take a look the coming week, may be something has changed in the latest version. Thanks

[janiversen]

I just verified the problem on current dev, seems result is not assigned.

The result of the request is correctly shown in the display, but result is empty.

[janiversen]

you cannot run "result.decode" without parameters:

from documentation:

> result.decode word_order=little byte_order=little formatters=float64
28.17

@raphapassini Please check in this branch repl-result-decoder

[janiversen]

@dhoomakethu thanks that seems to solve the problem.

Fixed on dev.
