Command line options do not work in windows

[shiena]

OS: Windows10 goneovim: nightly-1-gaeea7ae

However, it is possible to open the file specified in the argument.

This setting seems relevant.

The windows build uploaded to the following URL was output to the console. https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim/actions/runs/2149147269

@shiena Thanks for the quick confirmation. Closed.

It seems that enabling QT_DEBUG_CONSOLE launches a console window in addition to the GUI window. There may need to be a way to suppress this or another mechanism to display application help, version information, etc. neovim-qt seems to have achieved this with its own widget.

I think it's okay to revert this commit. https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim/commit/939f78d2151cf27d1cad434cd1ae5524b0729159

@akiyosi I ran goneovim --help from within Goneovim and got the output. So, I created a script to display it in a float window. Probably, if you execute the command directly without using the shell, the help will be outputted.

function! GonvimUsage() abort
    let pid=nvim_get_proc(nvim_get_proc(nvim_get_proc(getpid()).ppid).ppid).pid
    let output = systemlist("wmic process where processid=" . pid . " get executablepath")
    let gonvimpath = trim(output[1])

    let output = systemlist(gonvimpath . ' --help')
    let width = 0
    for line in output
        let length = strlen(line)
        if length > width
            let width = length
        endif
    endfor
    let height = len(output)
    let opts = {
                \ 'width': width + 1,
                \ 'height': height,
                \ 'anchor': 'NW',
                \ 'style': 'minimal'
                \ 'external': v:true
                \ }
    let buf = nvim_create_buf(v:false, v:true)
    let win = nvim_open_win(buf, v:true, opts)
    call nvim_buf_set_lines(buf, 0, -1, v:true, output)
endfunction
command! GonvimUsage call GonvimUsage()

@shiena Nice! It might be a good idea to add this command as a Windows-only default.

@akiyosi I don't know why, but I was able to output the help to the console with the following command.

goneovim --help | more

# for PowerShell
goneovim --help | Out-Host
# or
goneovim --help | Out-Default
