[rafaelcastrocouto]

How to reproduce:

type npm install devtool -g then type devtool inside the console there will be two errors, one at line 127 and the other at line 128 at C:\Users\rafael\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\devtool\node_modules\electron-prebuilt\dist\resources\atom.asar\renderer\lib\init.js

I just pushed some code to ignore process.stdin on Windows. I will try to test soon on a Windows PC to see if there is a nice way of handling this. Let me know if 1.8.3 allows you to work without errors.

To update: npm install devtool -g

Good job :+1:

@rafaelcastrocouto are you running on 1.8.3?

[rafaelcastrocouto]

no, i'm on 2.0.2

[Knighton910]

@rafaelcastrocouto I don't have a windows environment to try this in, can you post this question on nodejs/node gitter, Or the irc?

[Knighton910]

@mattdesl is there anyway, you can verify that 2.0.2 is acting buggy for process.stdin?

[mattdesl]

I will test on a Windows machine on Monday. 👌

Awesome @mattdesl

It's still buggy in 2.x ... it just don't show the error msg on load, but if you type process.stdin in the devtool's console it will throw the error.

I encountered the same problem. This piece of code does not work.

//test.js
var readline = require('readline');
var rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
  terminal: true
});

rl.on('line', function(line){
    console.log(line);
})

devtool test.js < input.txt
