vagrant login fails

[thasmo]

On Cygwin (Windows 8.1) vagrant login fails:

vagrant login
In a moment we'll ask for your username and password to Vagrant Cloud.

Hm, I can't reproduce this. We're not doing anything fancy here: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/24d8067c7b0b8b7042b6b92c44cd7e48c693a8b4/lib/vagrant/ui.rb#L150

Can you run an irb console and try that sort of thing on your own?

[thasmo]

Sure, I'll try - what exactly should I run/execute? Thank you!

[mitchellh]

That line, pretty much.

[thasmo]

What I do/get:

# irb
irb(main):001:0> input = $stdin.noecho(&:gets)
NoMethodError: undefined method `noecho' for #<IO:<STDIN>>
        from (irb):1
        from /usr/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
irb(main):002:0>

irb --version is "irb 0.9.6(09/06/30)"

[thasmo]

But that's the irb from Cygwin itself.

[thasmo]

ruby --version is "ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22) [x86_64-cygwin]"

[mitchellh]

I'm in Cygwin too and ran both vagrant login and that in IRB and it worked... :(

[sneal]

Same here, not using Cygwin but Chef's embedded Ruby distro

irb(main):001:0> input = $stdin.noecho(&:gets)
NoMethodError: undefined method `noecho' for #<IO:<STDIN>>
        from (irb):1
        from C:/opscode/chef/embedded/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
irb(main):002:0> exit

C:\Users\vagrant>ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p448 (2013-06-27) [i386-mingw32]

Fails the same way no my Mac - same version of Ruby

[mitchellh]

@sneal That was added in Ruby 2.0 (what Vagrant ships with). You'd need to try that.

[mitchellh]

@thasmo One other thing you can try: modify the Vagrant source code directly to change that line I linked to just $stdin.gets. Does it work then? (it won't hide your password).

[thasmo]

@mitchellh yes, that worked. How is this related to the Ruby version I run? Shouldn't Vagrant use it's own? Is it a misconfiguration by myself?

[mitchellh]

@thasmo Its not related to the Ruby version, it is a Cygwin problem: you must have some Cygwin dependency (or missing one) that is not supporting the syscall to have noecho. I can fix this now though in a jank way.

[thasmo]

Hm, weird. I can check that dependency thing when I'm at home. I installed Ruby via Cygwin package - not sure if it's coming from the original package repo or from cygwinports, which I use too.

[mitchellh]

Fixed.

[mitchellh]

@thasmo Its not a Ruby issue: Vagrant uses its own packaged Ruby. The issue is that your stdin is reporting it doesn't support the noecho functionality. Its likely an environmental variable issue...
