Windows Terminal + Git For Windows = ❌

[julianxhokaxhiu]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Win-Sudo on Git For Windows 2.32 through Windows Terminal using the native profile created during ( and offered through ) the installer. Overall the whole integration works fine, although win-sudo seems to apparently hang with no reply doesn't matter which command you run: su, sudo bash or whatever.

Have you ever tested this scenario and can you suggest please how to get it running? On my own end I dumped the printenv variables and the only difference I noticed was these two missing lines between each other, which are declared in Git Bash, but are NOT on Windows Terminal

TERM_PROGRAM=mintty
TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=3.5.0

I would appreciate if you could find some time to check this, otherwise I'll try to fire a PR as soon as I'll find some time to work on it.

Thank you in advance,
Julian

I no longer use Windows as my main OS so I doubt I'll be able to fix this error myself. All help is appreciated.

Hi guys, was anyone able to PR a fix for this?

It seems that windows terminal uses a different console driver. I checked and the problem is that the host session gets /dev/cons0 assigned and the backend only sees eg. /dev/cons1. mintty uses /dev/pty0 which you seem to be stable across elevation.

I think this is also a duplicate of #36

fixed in 5b2d65b ?

I am also encountering the same issue in Hyper using git-bash shell. Indefinite hang on sudo commands or trying to use su, after UAC prompt, using latest version of this tool.

Installed this and seems to be working fine in windows terminal, something I did though was to remove the generated .bashrc file and add it's contents to my .bash_profile instead.
