write(::IO, ::AnnotatedChar) does not return an Int

[LilithHafner]

write is supposed to return the number of bytes written.

julia> write(IOContext(Base.AnnotatedIOBuffer()), Base.AnnotatedChar('a', [:y => 2]))

julia> write(IOContext(Base.AnnotatedIOBuffer()), Base.AnnotatedChar('a', [:y => 2])) === nothing
true

#53715 will fix this particular case, but not fix the underlying issue with the write(::IO, ::AnnotatedChar) method.

[LilithHafner]

This is fixed on master, just needs a backport.

[KristofferC]

Which one?

[LilithHafner]

Probably a StyledStrings bump; idk. cc @tecosaur

[tecosaur]

Yep, this was fixed in JuliaLang/StyledStrings.jl@c084718, and will be fixed in 1.11 once #54127 is merged.

(For posterity, I would suggest that you just merge those PRs yourself because if it doesn't have a backport label it is easy it get missed).

[tecosaur]

I'll keep that in mind for in any such future PRs (there will probably be one more based on a chat Lilith and I had a few days ago), I just didn't want to step on any toes with the release process 😅.
