Linked Octave cells

[Ingo Dahn]

I have 2 cells on one page configured with

  sagecell.makeSagecell({

    languages=["octave"],

    linked: true,

  })

But variables set in the first cell evaluated first are undefined in the second cell when evaluated second. When I change languages to ["sage"] both cells are linked correctly. I checked that the Octave code works correctly when the content of both cells is executed in one cell.

Do you mind sharing the code you are using?

Looks like Octave interface is restarted for each cell:

which I have written a year ago while working on plotting. One of the reasons is likely to pick up proper CWD, perhaps there is a better solution (like all interfaces in Sage could wait for picking up CWD until they are actually using it...)
