[Bug]: px 0.9.0 does not start in background anymore

[fschoenm]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

px

Expected/Current Behaviour

After installing px 0.9.0, it doesn't start in the background anymore. After the system comes up, px opens in a console window that stays in the foreground.

Steps to Reproduce

Install px and configure with foreground setting 0 (default).


; Run in foreground when frozen or with pythonw.exe. 0 or 1, default: 0
;   Px will attach to the console and write to it even though the prompt is
;   available for further commands. CTRL-C in the console will exit Px
foreground = 0

I could not reproduce this issue. I changed directory to scoop\apps\px\current and ran .\pythonw -m px --install. When I restarted, I confirmed from Task Manager that px was running in the background and no window popped up. Do you think we should add a note?

[fschoenm]

I had the previous version installed (I think 0.8.4) and then upgraded to 0.9.0. Maybe it makes a difference.

I don't think Scoop can do anything about this bug so I'm going to close this and leave discussion to the ticket you linked.
