[jira] [Updated] (TINKERPOP-1409) Make the "null" return in the gremlin console into something more understandable

["stephen mallette (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1409?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

stephen mallette updated TINKERPOP-1409:
----------------------------------------
    Affects Version/s: 3.2.1
          Component/s: console

It is a bit tucked away in the documentation. Perhaps we could add some detail to the console tutorial on this topic. I'm not sure what else we can do about "null" as a return. Past discussions haven't really turned up anything better that made sense, not to mention the madness we would place on existing users who are used to seeing that output.

> A common question among new users is what is with the "null" return String in the console when there is a successful execution.  An explanation is in the docs now (see note at bottom of http://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/current/reference/#_mutating_the_graph section) but it would be nice to avoid it or make it more immediately understandable for new users.
> It's not a huge deal, but often comes up as a question from new users.
