'Failed to create process' #98

Closed MinchinWeb closed 8 years ago

MinchinWeb commented 8 years ago

Using Python 3.5.0 x64 on Windows 10 with Green 2.1.2.

Try to run any green command, and it fails and displays the message Failed to create process.

The issue is present on Green 2.1.1 and 2.1.0, but not Green 2.0.7 (which works fine).

(Sigh) I don't even have access to Windows 10. :-(

Well, maybe I can help more. I can confirm that this isn't an issue with Python 3.4.3. I can also confirm that if I clone the repo and run python setup.py install, green installs and runs fine on Python 3.5. This would point to the .tar.gz file on PyPI; something in the packaging or distribution. Is it time to move to wheels? If you can upload one here, I can try installing it to see if that fixes it.

There are other failing tests on Python 3.5. Maybe if I fix those on posix, Windows may benefit as well. I really dislike the way green communicates with its subprocesses, but I haven't yet found a better way that works across all versions and platforms without pulling in an external library.

Did the new release fix anything, by chance? I'm trying to put together a Windows 10 VM, but if it's already fixed I won't bother...

green seems to be working for me now. I never figure out what was the root cause of the issue, so I'm not sure what changed. I guess we can close the issue, and I'll let you know if it starts acting up again. Thanks for taking the time to look into it.

No problem. I'm glad it's working for you now!
