Does not work in Windows terminal
SimonArdrey opened this issue · comments
It only renders after the task is complete. I ran your example and it does not render the increments.
It's a great looking UI tool, I'd love to be able to use it in a Windows environment if possible.
Thanks :)
Hmmmm, possibly. But I don't have access to a windows machine, myself.
Gonna rename this issue, and maybe someone else will tackle it. Thanks for bringing it up
hey @SimonArdrey are you by any chance running NPM > 2.x ? because on my mac i get the same issue when using NPM 2 @derrickpelletier
Which node version @pilsy?
$ node -v
v0.12.0
$ npm -v
2.5.1
I am running 1.4.28
Yeah looks like an issue with node v0.12
Hey @derrickpelletier, Oddly this started to work for me after clearing my npm cache and doing a fresh npm i for my project https://github.com/CleverStack/cleverstack-cli/
Yeah i only go to take a real quick look on the weekend, but it's sporadic. At times it works, and sometimes it stalls. Trying to get a reproducible case to state from anyway.
I've tracked this down to an issue in the charm dependency. I think that the charm.position(callback) function seems to hang or not report data for some reason.
Unfortunately charm seems more or less inactive, so it might need to look into custom solution for getting cursor position.
@derrickpelletier is there a github issue for this in https://github.com/substack/node-charm/issues ?
@pilsy thanks for the nudge.
I just tested this on v0.12.7 and I'm seeing it function perfectly fine. (running the example.js in the repo, anyway)
Rolling back to v0.12.0 i can see that it is still functioning incorrectly on that node version.
I haven't looked into it but i'm assuming there was probably some tty-related issue that got resolved somewhere in between. Can you try a more recent version?
The issue also exists when using io.js (any version) but specifically i am using
node -v
v2.2.1
npm -v
2.11.0
I can confirm that the issue exists in iojs v2.2.0
But, it is functioning fine for me in iojs v2.4.0
Can you upgrade and try that out?
Yep that works - ok so what did you want to do with this ticket?
Just going to figure out the exact version breakpoints and put a note in the readme, not going to attempt to workaround the problem
This seems to still be an issue, I tried to get it working on my Windows 7 Machine and it's also only rendering after the task is complete.
node -v
v4.4.7
npm -v
3.10.5
Interesting...
Which version of the module?
And are you running the provided examples or your own code?
I'm using the latest version on npm 1.0.0
I initially tried it with my own code, thinking it was something I was doing wrong I then tried running the examples/pattern.js example. Both had the same issue.
Alright, thanks
Unsure if/when I'll have a windows machine to debug this problem on though. I'll check and see if there are any related known-issues regarding the console on windows though.
Running into the same issue on Windows 10. node v4.5.0, npm v2.15.9
Same issue. Windows 7, running in git-bash mintty
$ node --version
v6.9.1
$ npm --version
4.0.3
$ git --version
git version 2.10.1.windows.1
$ mintty --version
mintty 2.5.0 (x86_64-pc-msys)

Experiencing the same issue on Windows 10. node v7.7.2, npm v4.1.2
Just a reminder that I do not have a windows machine, nor access to one, and anyone is free to contribute :)
There are many problems with this on windows terminals. Probably because you're rerouting the stdout & stdin pipes, and even keyboard doesn't work.
On windows machines
var status = require('node-status');
....
status.stop()
Does never stops sometimes.
