Problem running NewRasterFromBase on Windows

[AlisterH]

Having identified several issues with the input parameters that can cause problems on Windows (#20), and also realised that --input is not actually the right parameter, I'm still unable to get NewRasterFromBase to run on Windows:

C:\Processing>whitebox_tools.exe --version
whitebox-tools v0.11.0 by Dr. John B. Lindsay (c) 2017-2018

C:\Processing>whitebox_tools.exe --run=NewRasterFromBase --wd="C:\Processing\" -i="simple.tif" --output="simple57.tif" --value=nodata --data_type=integer
thread 'main' panicked at 'Tool run with no paramters.', src\main.rs:76:21
stack backtrace:
   0: <unknown>
   1: <unknown>
   2: <unknown>
   3: <unknown>
   4: <unknown>
   5: <unknown>

  10: <unknown>
  11: <unknown>
  12: <unknown>
  13: <unknown>
  14: BaseThreadInitThunk
  15: RtlUserThreadStart

I do not believe the input file is the problem - it works with the Linux whitebox_tools, and I have tried a variety of files, all failing.

Is there anything else obvious I'm missing? Maybe it is just an issue with the order in which I've specified the parameters - there is probably some combination I haven't tried.
Would a proper debug build for Windows help?

With 0.12.0 this seems to apply to other tools as well, e.g. AbsoluteValue and CreatePlane. Maybe it applies to everything?
If anybody on Windows is successfully running any tool with with 0.12.0 I'd be interested to see the successfully command, in case it helps to figure out what is going on.

Hi @AlisterH. I've been trying to track this one down for a while and I can't seem to replicate. I see that you have been using WhiteboxTools from the command line. Are you able to run NewRasterFromBase when you run it from WhiteboxTools Runner or calling it from a Python script? I'm wondering if its an issue with the terminal application specifically. It seems to run fine on my terminal. Also, if you run it with the -v flag, you'll get more feedback on the nature of the error.
