tested git-bug.exe 0.5.0 (both 386, amd64) on win10 (x64) and win7 (x64)

Installation steps:

1. extract PortableGit 2.23.0 to C:\PortableGit\
2. copy git-bug.exe to C:\PortableGit\usr\local\bin\
3. run PortableGit git-bash.exe (MinGW)
4. cd to git project
5. git bug user create
6. git bug termui << nothing is shown

Any flags to enable verbosity/debug to see what's wrong?

(Update 4 Oct)

• Found a workaround for this issue: winpty git bug termui However the interactive UI get sluggish after exiting the subprocess editor (e.g. create new bug, add comment)

FWIK there are no flags to enable verbosity for git bug termui. Is there any specific exit status or visual bug we can investigate ?

This might be related to PortableGit if this is what you are using. Did you try using any other environnement ?

What terminal are you using ?

Does other commands like git bug add of git bug ls work ?

just hangs there..

no issue with git bug add or git bug ls..

Could you try another project using gocui to see if it's git-bug or not ? https://github.com/awesome-gocui/gocui#projects-using-gocui

@A-Hilaly i tried on official Git-2.23.0-64-bit.exe installation.. same issue..

@MichaelMure i'm not sure how to use gocui to test this issue.. none of them appears to offer a bash terminal..

Or do you mean to git clone any one of the projects, and try git bug termui on them using official Git client?

I mean install one project that use the gocui library (say, https://github.com/gulyasm/jsonui/releases) and test if it works properly. If not, it's likely that gocui is broken, not git-bug.

hockguan.tok (hgtok) changed the title from termui not displaying anything (on mingw) to termui not displaying anything (on mingw) 6 years ago

I think we narrowed it, same issue also appears for jsonui

MinGW: cat test.json | ./jsonui_windows_amd64.exe Result: not working

DOS: type test.json | jsonui_windows_amd64.exe Result: working!

This lead me to test git-bug on msdos: MSDOS: git-bug_windows_amd64.exe termui Result: working!

(But it errors out when I try to create "new bug" on MSDOS, looking for sh. lol )

Have updated bug title to reflect MinGW, as that is my use case

So it's a gocui compatibility problem. Not much we can do here.

You might want to open an issue at https://github.com/jroimartin/gocui (the original project) and https://github.com/awesome-gocui/gocui (a more maintained fork).

Closing as it's now a 3 year old ticket. Feel free to reopen if it's still a problem.
