Doesn't run in Git for Windows Bash shell

[SteveALee]

Seems to be a problem with the stdin

C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v4.1.0\node_modules\seneca-in-practice\node_modules\workshopper\node_modules\terminal-menu\index.js:61
    process.stdin.setRawMode(true);
                  ^

Also running "winpty Seneca-in-practice" to get better terminal emulation returns

Error @2 starting Seneca-in-practice

What version of node are you trying to run this on? This issue seems to be related to https://github.com/substack/terminal-menu/issues/25

[SteveALee]

I tried both 0.10.40 (x32) and then 4.1.0 (x64) as I suspected a node version issue given the error

I'm using nvm-windows to switch but that is most unlikely to cause this issue.

[SteveALee]

Well it seems it should work. The following in a node 4.1.0 REPL in GfW Bash:

> process.stdin.isTTY
true
> process.stdin.setRawMode
[Function]

So perhaps the workshopper or terminal-menu modules are doing something weird?

[marcopiraccini]

Well, the error is from terminal-menu. It seems something related with this: nodejs/node#2333
Can you try other workshopper (e.g. learnyounode) with the same node /os set to confirm that?

Have you tried to run it in powershell?

[SteveALee]

Have you tried to run it in powershell?

Yes it's fine, and also in cmd shell.
I can use it, just not in the Bash shell I sit in all day. Fee free to close this as "won't fix". :)

[marcopiraccini]

Just for curiosity...which shell are you using? This one? http://win-bash.sourceforge.net/

[SteveALee]

No. It's the one that comes with Git for Windows. I'm not sure what exactly it is but it certainly appears that it's parentage is MinGW/MSYS. GitHub for windows also uses a version but I found that has been left behind Git for Windows.

[SteveALee]

Ah yes, they appear to be pulling upstream from CVS.
