render quits without any output or generated files

[harrysarson]

Hi,

When I run $ terminalizer render demo the program exits (exit code 0) without printing any output to the terminal or creating a gif file.

I am running using wsl (bash on ubuntu on windows).
When I run the same command using the same demo.yml file in powershell it works so I guess this is some problem due to either linux in general or more likely wsl.

node v10.15.0
terminalizer v0.6.0

Terminalizer executes a hidden electron window to render gif images which seems for some reason is not opening.

Of course - wsl has no support for displaying graphics.

Maybe an error message (or a non zero exit code) may be helpful here though?

@harrysarson You can actually run gui applications in WSL just fine. You can follow the MobaXterm section in this guide here.

I also had the same issue, but you guys led me down the right road. Once I opened MobaXterm I was able to render my gif 🎉.

Thanks

Glad I could be of assistance :)
