Other Software

Steps to reproduce

• download dome
• execute it trough git bash profile in windows terminal
• no output

Expected Behavior

running dome in command line should output log it does so when run with pure git bash

Actual Behavior

Program outputs nothing in windows terminal but does in pure git bash

[Kasparsu]

learned that -mconsole flag was not set and that kinda fixed it but now if application is run without terminal it it opens a console window

[Kasparsu]

found a workaround, but still kinda weird that git bash without win terminal handles stuff differently then with.

Thanks for filing!

There's a few different variables here that I'm interested in. I haven't heard of -mconsole, so that might be one of these already.

Git Bash uses its own terminal emulator (mintty) by default.

Would you be able to test this in the original Windows Console?
You can get to it by explicitly running conhost, and then running git bash from inside the Command Prompt it launches.

If the Dome issue reproduces there, it's either a Dome or MSYS issue. If it doesn't, that's probably absolutely something under our control.

Yeah the issue was happening both in pure cmd as well as powershell so I guess that answers the question. We fixed it on the dome side by checking if console is attached and then attaching the console if not

 if(!GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)) {
    if (AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS)) { 
      freopen("CONOUT$","wb",stdout);
      freopen("CONOUT$","wb",stderr);
    }
}
