Trying to run Forge under Cygwin and Windows 8 -- no command is executed

[degyves]

Hello. I have tried to use Forge 1.4.4 under Cygwin + Windows 8 without luck.

I'm able to execute the basic tutorial from Powershell (forge.bat). But when I try to do it from cygwin, the shell does not respond. It appears it just won't receive any command. For example:

[no project] forge $ help;

-- several minutes later, I Ctrl-C:

$ help;

GNU bash, version 4.1.11(2)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)

..etc

So it appears that the commands I execute on the forge shell under cygwin just don't reach the forge shell.

I'm using also libevent2: I do use tmux under cygwin. I have tried forge with and without tmux without luck.

It would be great to me to use Forge inside cygwin. Is there something I can do for it ? Maybe yo can give me some directions?

Or maybe you can tell me some way to go to the sources and try to implement it.

Hi,

Could you please give it a try with Forge 2? The shell support in Forge 1.x was not that great, that's why we changed to Aesh (aeshell.github.io).

Let us know how it goes,

I have just tried forge-distribution-2.0.0-Final with the same results.

Then I have tried the AESh examples. Effectively, it fails to receive commands in cygwin but it works OK under Windows Powershell.

Maybe I can do some coding to make it work if you give me some directions?

This is related on how MinTTy is built:

https://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/detail?id=244

Using ConEmu+Gnu Screen instead of MinTTy and tmux will mitigate the problem (it's not a AEsh or Forge problem) in forge-2 and 1.4.4.

Interesting. Could you please open a JIRA with this information? Thanks!

Absolutely! Can you join us in IRC under irc.freenode.net in the #forge channel?

And we would also absolutely love it if you could help us figure out how to

implement the solution for this problem. Thank you for offering to

contribute!
